This week is Men's Health Week. Did you know.... This week is Men's Health Week. Did you know.... - Men are three times more likely to die from suicide when compared with women - The highest suicide rate is in men aged between 40 and 49 - Men are less likely to access mental health support than women - Men are three times more likely to become dependent on drugs or alcohol - Men report lower levels of life satisfaction than women Having done some reading on the subject, there is some research suggesting men who can't talk about their emotions are less likely to recognise symptoms of mental health problems they may be experiencing. This in turn can lead to an increase in drug and alcohol use and heightened feelings of anxiety and depression. Being a man, I have experienced friends, relatives and myself bottling up emotions and not talking about issues. It genuinely is important to address any negative thoughts or feelings and seek the support when you need it to enable you to be the best version of yourself. My saving grace is exercise, my family and my friends. Maintaining relationships and challenging my body makes me feel happy, content and able to face the world. However, we all experience difficult times along the way and it is important to seek the support when you need it, whether that is a chat with a friend or a visit to your GP. We're all in this together, don't be afraid to talk! #fitnessmotivation #health #healthylifestyle #instagood #lifestyle #menshealth #menshealthawareness #menshealthuk #menshealthweek #motivation #workout #onlinecoach #wellness #performance #timetospeakup #inthistogether #primemotion #moveplaygrow #itsoktonotbeok

Buzzing to finally announce the launch of somethin Buzzing to finally announce the launch of something that is very close to me and something that I have been passionate about since just before its rise to popularity... ⁠ .⁠ Primal Movement ⁠ .⁠ Say hello to... The Prime & Move Plan ⁠ .⁠ As most of you know, I have a HUGE passion for taking movement back to its most primitive and natural foundations and this plan encompasses that in its entirety.⁠ .⁠ Designed to improve strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and enable you to achieve a sense of connectedness within your body.⁠ .⁠ This plan isn't a quick fix plan focused on losing weight or making you look better naked but will grant you the ability to optimise the way you move and have you feeling empowered, confident and moving pain free.⁠ .⁠ The plan is bespoke and tailored specifically to you!⁠ .⁠ If you want to optimise the way you move, look and feel then this plan is for you 😊⁠ .⁠ The first 5 people to sign up, get 50% off⁠ .⁠ Drop me a message to get started!⁠ .⁠ Move | Play | Grow⁠ @primemotion⁠ .⁠
Is your current exercise/training or movement prac Is your current exercise/training or movement practise serving you or sabotaging you?⁠ .⁠ How do you know if it's either? 👇🏽⁠ .⁠ Evaluate how your training makes you FEEL before, during AND after you do it.⁠ .⁠ Do you dread it or relish in it?⁠ .⁠ Remember, exercise shouldn't be this body destroying, soul breaking, demon battling window of time where you punish yourself for things you feel didn't go too well for you the other day. Trust me, I've been there!⁠ .⁠ It's supposed to be this therapeutic, empowering and incredibly uplifting practise that improves how you move and ultimately, how you feel.⁠ .⁠ If it doesn't, I assure you it won't be sustainable.⁠ .⁠ Be mindful with your relationship to exercise, it has the power to go either way so keep it seamless, consistent, sustainable and most of all, enjoyable 😊⁠ .⁠ Move | Play | Grow⁠ @primemotion⁠ .⁠ #fitness #health #strength #movementculture #training #mobility #workout #calisthenics #exercise #motivation #move #wellness #fit #functionaltraining #community #core #movement #posture #stretch #moveplaygrow #primemotion #personaltrainer #onlinecoaching #kettlebells #feelgood #boostmood
Technique Tuesday⁠ .⁠ Getting pain in your low Technique Tuesday⁠ .⁠ Getting pain in your lower back when performing leg lowers?⁠ .⁠ Don't worry, it's super common and easily fixed! ⁠ .⁠ Nine times out of ten, the reason you're getting lower back discomfort will be down to your positioning and set up!⁠ .⁠ Read on 👇🏽⁠ .⁠ Truth is, it's all about the positioning of your ribs. We want our ribcage to be squeezed down and in towards our spine (rather than flaring up and out) to enable us to create intra-abdominal pressure.⁠ .⁠ In order for our deep core muscles to be taking the resistance of our legs, we need to brace and shorten the distance between our ribs and our pelvis.⁠ .⁠ Think about 'zipping up' your abdominals as you lower your legs, this will take strain out of your lower back ✅⁠ .⁠ Just be sure to breathe purposefully and not to hold your breath. I like to keep my lips together and breathe in through my nose on lowering my legs and out upon lifting them.⁠ .⁠ Lots to think about, eh? That's why it's worth doing!⁠ .⁠ I hope this video was beneficial, please drop a comment below if you have any questions 😊⁠ .⁠ Move | Play | Grow⁠ @primemotion⁠ .⁠ #fitness #health #strength #movementculture #training #mobility #workout #calisthenics #exercise #motivation #move #wellness #fit #functionaltraining #community #core #movement #posture #stretch #moveplaygrow #primemotion #personaltrainer #onlinecoaching #corestability #techniquetuesday #exercisetutorial #leglowers #formfollowsfunction

CHALLENGE: Every time you sit down in a chair (pre CHALLENGE: Every time you sit down in a chair (preferably the floor) this coming week, try and adopt a posture that represents more of a 'stacked spine' and integrate that posture in to your 'training' whether that is inside or outside of the gym.⁠ .⁠ Pay attention to your quality of movement and give those simple mundane tasks and movements/postures we perform daily as much attention as you may or may not do in the gym.⁠ .⁠ "The way you walk through a room, is the way you walk through life"⁠ .⁠ Move with intent and purpose!! Especially on those seated rows! 😉⁠ .⁠ Happy Sunday winners 😊⁠ .⁠ Move | Play | Grow⁠ @primemotion⁠ .⁠ #fitness #health #strength #movementculture #training #mobility #workout #calisthenics #exercise #motivation #move #wellness #fit #functionaltraining #community #core #movement #posture #stretch #moveplaygrow #primemotion #personaltrainer #onlinecoaching #strength #rows #strengthtraining

“Those who play rarely, become brittle in the fa “Those who play rarely, become brittle in the face of stress or lose the healing capacity for humour.”⁠ .⁠ As most of you know, I absolutely love movement exploration and trying to incorporate as much bodyweight flow in to my strength and cardio training.⁠ .⁠ Skills like the ones in the video are ridiculously fun to try and master and they also challenge you to workout your mind as much as your body.⁠ .⁠ Play is POWERFUL!⁠ .⁠ I think there is something to be said for spending less time on working 'out' and more time on working 'in' 😉⁠ .⁠ What's your thoughts?⁠ .⁠ No judgement, just an invitation to go deeper 😊⁠ .⁠ 🌎Get fit, strong and mobile with me LIVE, six days a week.

Modern life HATES the posterior chain!⁠ .⁠ Are Modern life HATES the posterior chain!⁠ .⁠ Are you reading this with your head and shoulders rolled forward? If you're not and your spine is stacked and upright, kudos to you! 👏🏼😉⁠ .⁠ Almost all of the activities we do on a daily basis (working at a desk, commuting to and from work and sitting down texting and watching TV) all contribute to an over active anterior and an under active posterior.⁠ .⁠ What does this mean?⁠ .⁠ We need to spend more time 'pulling' in the weight room than 'pushing'.⁠ .⁠ I would recommend to pull twice as much as you push.⁠ .⁠ Something as simple as incorporating one or two pulling movements in to your warm up will make all the difference or super-setting every push exercise with a pull movement will keep you within easy striking distance of achieving the two-to-one pull-to-push ratio.⁠ .⁠ I love face pulls (pictured) for high repetitions using either a band or on a cable machine in a gym setting.⁠ .⁠ If you want healthy shoulders, better posture and stronger lifts, follow this ratio!⁠ .⁠ Happy hump day you beauties, now go and crush the day!⁠ .⁠ Move | Play | Grow⁠ @primemotion⁠ .⁠ #workoutmotivation #motivation #fitness #fitnessmotivation #gym #back #backworkout #goals #workout #training #personaltrainer #shoulders #pullday #movementismedicine #movewell #movementpatterns #health #performbetter #functionalmovement #posture #moveplaygrow #facepulls #pullmore
