'Without the video it would be hard to believe the change. One of the aspects I like about Health by Science is that activities are measured and compared.
It is great to see the difference in just a few months.'
-James

What a difference in under a year! 🤯

Return to Running 🏃

If you are looking 👀 to return to running following an injury or an extending period off we would always recommend working on the brakes first before the gas.

Jump and Landing skills help prepare joints and tissues to withstand the rigours of running.

Squat is arguably one of the most primal and critical fundamental movements, essential to enhance sport performance, mitigate risk of injury, and to support lifelong physical activity. It uses nearly the entire muscular system, and it works the cardiovascular system as well.

Can you call yourself "fit"?

Fit is subjective because it depends what type of fitness you mean. For example a sprinter and a marathon runner are both "fit" for their respective sports.

The arm bar exercise is a way of combining strength 💪, with mobility and control.

The shoulder has the most ranges of movements of all our joints. However, it means that it can be an area more susceptible to injury 🤕 and pain. #rehab #physio #physiotherapy #strengthtraining

If you can bodyweight squat and you want to get stronger 💪, a logical progression is to add load. The same applies to these exercises.

'Core’ training can mean a lot of different things to people:

✔️ Getting six packs, or flat abs

No machine. No problem.

Strength machines can be a convenient way to isolate specific groups of muscles and joints.

This is useful if you are looking to rehab an injured area e.g. the knee or help reduce your risk of future injuries.

One of the main goals of Charlie’s most recent programme has been to make exercise fun!

We have aimed to ‘gamify’ each part of the sessions so there is always a challenge component that is clear and achievable e.g. to throw the ball a little further.

SINGLE LEG DEADLIFT

Increased neuromuscular control, joint and muscular function, and muscular hypertrophy and endurance are just a few of the expected positive outcomes of including such movements (like the single leg Romanian deadlift) into your training program.

Just a month ago, Kyle began his journey with the gym. He was looking to get stronger and increase his energy levels so that he could participate in more activities outside of work.
