Workout Weakness Essentials

I hope you had a wonderful and healthy weekend.

Today to get you started with another great week I want to remind you about focusing on the essentials for YOU.

I often talk about the 6 essential movement patterns that you should focus on:

1. Deadlifts (one leg deadlifts, swings etc.)
2. Squats (Y Squats, Goblet Squats etc.)
3. Lunges (Reverse, Side Ways etc.)
4. Pushes (Shoulder Taps, Push Ups)
5. Pulls (Bird Dogs, Rows etc)
6. Core (Planks, Turkish Get Ups)

Take a look at the list above and ask yourself what are your favourite exercises and what do you tend to ignore or do last in your workouts.

Next flip your list on its head, do the exercises you least enjoy or tend to ignore first and your favourites last or even leave out of the workout.

If you very rarely Deadlift in your workouts then just adding this exercise will radically change your results.

The same applies to performing more Lunges if you always Squat.

And Ladies if you always avoid Push Ups then this exercise alone will radically change your results.

Here are 3 Workouts that may help you focus on YOUR weaknesses:

Workout 1

1. Two Handed Swing x 30 / 25 / 20 / 15
2. Goblet Squat x 5 / 10 / 15 / 20

Start with 30 Swings then 5 Goblet Squats, then 25 Swings and 10 Goblet Squats etc.

2. Turkish Get Up x 1 each side

That’s all for today. Work on your weaknesses for the biggest impact on your fitness.

Take care
