Just a reminder of who you’re dealing with when

Just a reminder of who you’re dealing with when you’re worried I’ll try and put you on a diet😘

I don’t think it’s discipline. ⁣
⁣
You need discipline to do something that you don’t want to do, to express a responsibility that doesn’t fit with your identity. ⁣
⁣
I “get it done” but that’s because the expression of physicality is bound with enjoyment and freedom of my own making. ⁣
⁣
For me that’s:⁣
🌙some) protected time,⁣
🌙music, ⁣
🌙comfortable clothing, ⁣
🌙curiosity, ⁣
🌙awareness of and investment in what I’m going to do, ⁣
🌙not being hungry, ⁣
🌙being minimally sleepy.⁣
⁣
None of those things have huge barriers to entry, that you can’t work on yourself. ⁣
⁣
And none of them really require discipline, because they, like physicality, are things that make the experience of being human more pleasant. ⁣
⁣
I share in The Training Sessions what I use for “curiosity” and “awareness and investment” - it also happens to be the answer to “what do I do?”⁣
⁣
But I really don’t think it requires discipline if it also captures your interest and is an expression of freedom. ⁣
⁣
Or at least, it doesn’t have to. ⁣
⁣

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 –⁣
⁣
🪷𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 – move slower with a weight, then add more reps, then use a heavier weight and repeat. (bodyweight works too, you lift your own weight in a push-up right?) You become stronger because your nervous system recognises the movement so lets you do it more easily, and recruits more (pre-existing but asleep until woken) muscle fibres to help you do it.⁣
⁣
🪷𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 – (this is what you mean by toning btw) – move slower, then add more reps, then use a heavier load and repeat. Rest them, feed them; they’ll grow back denser. Do it frequently, so that you keep a bit of residual tension/swelling in your muscles all of the time. They stick out more, you look toned.⁣
⁣
🪷𝗔 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 – sitting in a stretch isn’t the thing. Range of motion – being able to sit deeper in a squat or do the splits or hold your arm straight above your head (genuinely a problem I see often) doesn’t come from flopping into it or insolently sitting on top of it. Nervous systems need to know where to go, and muscles need to be able to take body parts there. See the rules for Stronger Muscles above. Go to the edge of the range of motion you want to get deeper in, resist something heavy to push you into it deeper. Squeeze yourself. Rest and repeat.⁣
⁣
🪷𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼𝘁-𝘀𝗼-𝗼𝘂𝘁-𝗼𝗳-𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 – ok this one is also like flexibility – push the borders of out-of-breath-ness for a little bit longer over time or harder within the same time. Eg – run (or whatever gets you out of breath) for longer at the same pace, or faster in the same timeframe. Go to the edge of what feels doable, push a little bit. Come back next time and push the edge a bit more. ⁣
The edge = tension. Spend time in it. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.⁣
It’s a metaphor for getting better at anything worth doing, tbh. Go to the uncomfortable place, spend time there, gradually it feels less uncomfortable and then you move up a level to the next uncomfortable place and so it goes until you can fly.⁣

Isn’t it fascinating on some level, and kind of liberating, that there’s a whole group of women who think “fuck yeah, I want that bulk
⁣
make it so and put me on a stage.”⁣
⁣
Because that’s what it’s for - a photo on a stage. ⁣
⁣
That’s why you don’t see women looking like that in your life (even at the gym, even your strongest friend)⁣
⁣
To be entirely honest, you won’t accidentally look like this because you don’t have the time or access to steroids that finish the job when you realise that not even nature can make you look like this 😬⁣
⁣
But genuinely, I just want to float the idea that some women do want what Google defines as “bulky” and they give up most of their life, during the pursuit, for it.⁣ The commitment and difficulty is mega.
⁣
You’re not gonna do that. ⁣I’m not gonna do that.
You’ll be fine 🙂⁣

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is and if it doesn’t teach you anything, it’s not worth it. ⁣
⁣
“Do these exercises to transform your abs”⁣
⁣
Transformative as a concept is very much subjective but she can’t be honest, and say what the clickbait is implying “if you do this you’ll look like me”, because that is a lie. ⁣
⁣
So if she uses a vague term like “transform” then people can interpret that how they want to (which obviously, will be aesthetic)⁣
⁣
It’s a video of some movements, not a workout to follow, and it’s clickbait because it makes quite an interesting and complex concept (the strength and function of the human core) into “look at the surface of my abdomen, yours should look like this too. Be distracted from important things and worry that it doesn’t, give me some money and I’ll make you feel like you’re doing something about it for a couple of weeks”⁣
⁣
There you go. That’s what I’m saying. ⁣

This is how to stop your elbow hurting with kb swings (cleans, snatches). Stop using them 🙃 and realise that the mechanics of your body are exactly like a playground swing and the fact they have the same name is not a coincidence.

First of all I want to make abundantly clear that the calorie reading has nothing, NOTHING, to do with the calorie output of your body.⁣
⁣
Detach completely.⁣
⁣
You’re not supposed to know how many calories your body burns; if you were, you’d have been born with a screen attached to your wrist. ⁣
⁣
Ok? OK.⁣
⁣
Here’s why looking at the calorie measure has relevance to your body though; 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗽𝘂𝘁. The fewer strokes/rotations you can put through a rowing machine or skierg* PER one calorie, correlates to how strongly and efficiently you, your structure (bones, muscles, tendons and cardiovascular system) works.⁣
⁣
Here: If it takes you 3 strokes to move one calorie, you’re better than you were when it took you 6 strokes to move one calorie. Right?⁣
⁣
See how the total calories aren’t The Thing That Matters? YOU are The Thing That Matters.⁣

Zero benefits and here’s why:⁣
⁣
A lift is an interaction between your body and the ground. The harder you can push into the ground, the stronger your movement is. ⁣
⁣
The more layers and absorption of force your shoes have (exactly what trainers are marketed for - force absorption) the less you push into the ground and the weaker you are at lifting.⁣
⁣
It’s physics. Look at these two floors and you’ll feel exactly what I mean.⁣

Here’s exact the message I sent to members today

Here’s exact the message I sent to members today:⁣
⁣
Hope you're all well-rested and well-fuelled ready for January ⁣
(or, like me, you're just as tired as you were at the start of December because winter. Unless December is the summer for you, Aus peeps!) ⁣
⁣
Either way. ⁣
We're here. ⁣
Thanks for being here. I'm excited to plan for you! ⁣
⁣
I've had a good few hours making programming this month for you and I hope you're going to love it…⁣
⁣
Our focus for January is "Structure and Variety" I want you to have the opportunity to spend time paying attention to your body's sensations and how it changes during sessions. ⁣
There will be cues to help you focus on what to notice in this regard. ⁣
⁣
At a more functional level, this month is aimed at reminding you of finer points of technique so that the challenge comes from overcoming any tendency you might have to switch off during exercise and fall into less optimal movement habits. ⁣
⁣
It shouldn't be too heavy, it will be challenging enough to go deep physically and mentally, and is a good start to the year when mainstream fitness messaging is telling you to do the most.⁣
⁣
We're working hard to make ourselves work well, before we work too hard.⁣
⁣
Let’s do this. ⁣
⁣
I hope this inspires your intention for training in January 🖤

The Challenge my team has chosen:⁣ ⁣ 15 swings

The Challenge my team has chosen:⁣
⁣
15 swings EMOM for 30 mins, for 6 hours. ⁣
⁣
That’s… a lot of swings.⁣
⁣
I tell most people the following when they have a tendency to talk themselves out of coming to regular training sessions: think less. Just come, I’ll do the thinking for you when you get here.⁣
⁣
So other than planning my costume and snacks, I haven’t thought much about tomorrow. I’m just going to turn up and do the thinking when I’m bells deep in swings. ⁣
⁣
See what I did there?⁣
⁣
Do hard things for no other reason than you can, and your friends are doing it too. ⁣
⁣
(And if they’re not, come be friends with us!)⁣

You could be going through the motions doing your reps at the gym OR, you could be valiantly and bravely refusing to lose power against a worthy opponent. Normal people won’t read this caption, the rest of you know exactly what’s going on in your head next training session. 🐉

I honestly think this might be the key to happiness.

One thing I see women overcome time and time again is the disconnect between their head and their body, and when they overcome that, a major transformation happens.

Their relationship with their body can never go back to the way it was before.

The way it was when they didn’t know that it was never about making it BE any way (smaller, more toned, lighter, able to run on minimal fuel).

When your goal is to be able to DO things, rather than BE things, that freedom is what leads to actual genuine Good Stuff, measurably healthy stuff, happening with your body.

You can be skinny but that doesn’t mean you’re healthy.

But it’s hard not to have a pretty solidly functioning metabolic and structural system when you can do pull-ups and heavy ass kb swings.

If you're anything like me, your attention is on t

If you're anything like me, your attention is on the fact that you haven't wrapped a single present yet, and your training is important background noise to more noisy life events.

Also it's cold, so a lot of thought behind The Training Sessions atm is designed to get you warm and keep you moving.

Let me tell you how I've planned out The Training Session for December with that in mind:

>Bodyweight Training: tapping into your internal tension and using your body against gravity builds the kind of strength and ownership of your body that you can't get anywhere else. This month, it has come to my attention that we've neglected our push-ups. I'll fix that for you.

>Capacity Training - "capacity" is the ability to fill something as much as possible. These sessions can sometimes be quite challenging, but we're maintaining strength expression as our overall purpose right now so your ability to push will be capped by your skill level, nervous system and how well rested and fed you are!

>Unilateral Movement - single sided movements. We explore it unilateral movement as a concept and pay attention to the difference between the sides of your body. Nothing is "wrong" with having a difference between sides, in fact I expect you to, it's just another interesting variable to understand and meet when it comes to knowing, and training, your body.

Our training is pretty cerebral and experimental for December, so that even if you can't fit as many in as you'd like, they give you a lot of feedback on what's going on with your strength and energy levels without exhausting you.

The Training Sessions will work for you if you mostly know your bodyweight and kb techniques*, but you want something interesting and intelligent to DO with them.

It's £35/month from January. It was £20/month but it's way too good 🔥 for that price.

*DM to check if you're unsure and to get a link to try it out for a week in January.

January will be different to December, await on the edge of your seats for January's overview coming soon (when I've written it 😜)

You probably don’t struggle with motivation, because most of you who follow me do so because you love exploring your body and headspace via movement. ⁣
⁣
But sometimes it can feel like you need a shot of dopamine to get you going. ⁣
⁣
You’re the actor, the training session is your script.⁣
⁣
When you’re the main character in your training session, you get to bring it to life. ⁣
⁣
It gets to bring you to life. ⁣

I’m not saying you need to be able to do backflips to be able to snatch a kb lol, but do treat them with the same respect for the grace of the movement pattern. ⁣
⁣
Don’t squeeze your eyes shut and hope for the best 🫨⁣
⁣
Take your time. Deconstruct the movement. PRACTICE. ⁣
⁣
(Also who wants to learn backfips now? I’ve talked myself into it writing this caption.)
