The Basics of Movement
From completing this course you should feel comfortable stepping into the gym, knowing what to do and where to start.
You will understand your base awareness of the body and what you’re feeling when putting the body under load.
There are foundational movements that translate to many areas of training, Squat, Lunge, Hinge, Push and Pull, and when we take time to learn these, we create a framework in our mind that our body can agree with; increasing our strength and understanding while reducing the risk of injury.
Obviously this course won’t answer every question that you have about fitness, but it is made from 6 years of being a coach, teaching individuals to tune into their body and helping people be able to tackle life in a healthy way. This course is the basic foundation I get my clients to before advancing them into more complex styles of training. You also don’t have to stop everything you’re doing to focus on this. Build it into your routine, test it against what you know and build your overall understanding that you have about your body.
An overview of health involves many factors, but strength is a vital one. Compliment your training with a good diet, sleep, recovery and life balance to get the best results.

We use this movement every day and if we can execute it properly, we set a healthy pattern for the body moving forward into the years to come.
When we can rely on our body to go into these movements we increase our strength, injury prevention and confidence in every day life.
-
The lunge is a movement that requires a lot from the body and when practised and available as second nature we can trust our body to react in many situations.
It teaches balance, stability and rotational work which all keep the body healthier, stronger and mobile.
-
The hinge, aka, back support.
When we learn this movement, we offer so much support for our back. We use the glutes as the pivot point and load the muscles correctly encouraging better posture, less stress on the body and less awkward movements.
-
We want to have a strong chest. (Different from mass)
We complete so many movements every day in front of us that we would be unwise to neglect the strengthening of this important muscle group.
It also compliments the shoulder joint which comes with many plains of motion.
-
Working overhead movements can be hard for many people. We want to make sure we don’t write the movement off as too hard, but instead work on the movement and celebrate success.
-
Working the posterior chain is so important for our health, posture and strength in all movements.
Targeting the Lats and Biceps, we work on strengthening the muscles that also massively contribute to rotation.
The Lats are a large muscle group and add a lot of functionality to the body.
-
Multiple movements come into one. We start with the hinge movement and learn how to hold tension in the body while doing more than one thing at once.
The Row targets a different part of the back.
