Movement / Strength Training : a personalised programme for you

A mindful and compassionate approach to strength training, 1:1

If you’ve heard of just how good strength training is for you, but you don’t know where to start, or you’ve been put off in the past by strength training being too much, too fast, too soon, and not being able to move at your own pace, I’m happy to let you know that my approach is different.

As we approach the late summer and September, I have space to take on 2 new clients, to build a strong foundation in strength training with a personalised 1:1 program.

Program Details:

• 8 weekly 1:1 sessions via Zoom

• Guidance for one self-directed strength training session per week, in addition to our 1:1 sessions

• Progressive strength building over a 2-month period

• Skills to continue training independently after the program

• Guidance by whatsapp inbetween sessions

• Duration: 8 weeks (1 session per week)

• Focus: Building a solid grounding in strength training, and progressive strength-building over a 2 month period

Benefits of 1:1 Training:

Working with me one-on-one, especially in the early stages of strength training, offers a few key advantages:

1. Personalised Routine: We'll establish a routine tailored to your specific needs, goals, and schedule

2. Individual Pacing: Progress at your own pace, ensuring you're always challenged but never overwhelmed

3. Gradual Intensity: Experience intensity in small, manageable doses, allowing you to build capacity at your own pace

4. Balanced Approach: We'll carefully balance periods of effort and rest, optimizing your progress and recovery

5. Immediate Feedback: Receive form corrections and encouragement, to ensure safety, effectiveness and confidence

6. Adaptive Programming: Your program will evolve as you progress, ensuring continued growth and engagement.

   Benefits of strength training in general shown by research:

   1. Research shows that the sweet spot for training is between 1-2 sessions per week

   2. To keep our lean muscle mass, and our strength as we get older, we do need to lift heavy things. Although body weight exercises are excellent, they may not be enough for things like maintaining bone density, lean muscle mass and strength

   3. 2 sessions of strength training per week reduces our risk of dying by any cause by 20%, improved physical performance, movement control, walking speed, functional independence, cognitive abilities, and self-esteem.

What You'll Learn:

• Ideal form for basic movements:

  • Squats

  • Deadlifts

  • Push-ups

  • Planks

  • Various weighted arm movements

• Additional key strength exercises

• Personalized movement plan

Required Equipment:

To get the most out of this program, you'll need to invest in the following equipment:

• 2 sets of hand weights (dumbbells)

• 1 small resistance band

Recommended weights:

• We’ll begin with these weights : 2-3 kg and 4-5 kg sets

• And over time, we may also add in these weights : 5-6 kg and 7-8 kg sets

These items are a one-time purchase and will serve you well beyond the duration of this program. They're a great investment in your fitness journey and will last for years to come.

I’m happy to provide recommendations for the best brands and where to purchase this equipment.

During our sessions, I'll demonstrate in detail how to use all equipment effectively and safely.
