WELCOME BACK, GLUTES!

STRONG SEAT!

Welcome back, Glutes! This may be a personal observation, not actually confirmed by science… But is it just me? Or are the Glutes the most stubborn to get working and the first to diminish when you’re on holiday, pregnant/postpartum, or in my case; lying in hospital. It’s like they dissolved into the bed! This class has subtle but spicy work for the sidelying abductors and prone hip extensors. Plus, with a little extra for the quads & hip flexors - because they need to be strong, too! Rather vital for walking and climbing. I threw in a little thoracic spine extension, to really connect with the entire posterior chain. Also, sidelying is an effective exercise in itself for pelvic floor and abdominal awareness. 26mins of goodness.

Here I am, training with you. With all my wobbles, shakes, my less than ‘text book form’. Struggling through my imperfect demonstrations, whilst trying my best to get the most helpful advice and cueing, across to you. Because this is the phase of rehabilitation I’m in, there is no point hiding it, that would be impossible! So I put my battered ego to the side and I embrace my imperfection and struggle, in the hope that it inspires someone to start and commit to their journey to good health, however it may look right now.

I want to show you, that you CAN show up. Even and especially in struggletown; maybe physically, maybe mentally, maybe (like me) both.

The fight is completely 100% worth it. And sometimes it feels like (well for me, as I can only speak personally) the only way through, is through movement.
