The Exercise Educator

2 cracking days at FIBO with .markslavin down, 2 to go. Had a tremendous time talking to operators looking to lead their markets and brands looking to elevate the value they can offer clients with .global .

If we’ve not caught up yet, we’re around until Sunday - drop us a note!

Woah there - with an important update for its American users! 😱

This tells us that the security concerns cited were probably just a front, and the real reason the USA has banned the platform is to protect its citizens from nonsense health and fitness advice 💪🏽

Here’s to more regulated information so people can stop attempting to get deep stretches in their 37 sets of explosive-concentric scoop-method single-leg hip-thrusts 🤨

🙏🏽 Thank you America 🇺🇸

P.s. shout out to the fitness meme king for the post inspo.

Day 2 with Technogym Australia - Glute Gains for Stronger, Smoother Hips 🍑

I’m September, Rhys (Head of Education for Technogym Australia) called me in and asked me to run a Clinic for them. I was very flattered - I’ve seen enough slick Technogym presentations to these guys mean business 🥶

My only concern was what it would be about! When we decided to go trendy with The Glutes, I don’t think Rhys was expecting his own to take centre stage during it 😂

As I tried to figure out how to best deliver as much value as possible to the room in under 1hr, I said to Rhys that I thought I’d need a skeleton showing the relationship between the lumbar, the pelvis & the femur 🦴 The intention was to give those in attendance some trademark RTS positional perspectives on anatomy and how re-orientating a joint affects the role that certain muscles provide at it 🧐

RTS is The Inside View of Exercise 🩻 and so I figured we’d give a taste of that to the students.

Alas, such skeletal assemblies proved hard to come by in Perth and so up stepped Rhys. I used a collection of party balloons (also something associated with - borderline proprietary to! - RTS) to show how the relationships & functions between the various hip muscles change depending on the position of the joint.

We added into this some considerations of the forces involved in exercises + how to design exercise to improve its efficiency 👌

I must apologise to the group of 3 ladies who looked quite upset to hear that putting a cable behind your leg often doesn’t make much sense, and that while it has plenty of beneficial elements the Hip Thrust isn’t a particularly efficient exercise! 😬

It was unusual for me to teach this stuff without hours of context provided through theory modules and exploring other joints first, so I really enjoyed the challenge of making it all make sense despite that! 🤓

It was a pleasure working with the Technogym Australia team who ran a really slick operation with two areas on the day. Thanks for having me lads .94
+ for setting the stage
And a huge shoutout to fellow presenter for capturing these shots! 📸
