PRIMAL SQUAT to become better human and athlete

PRIMAL SQUAT to become better human and athlete
20 Apr

Primal squat is a fundamental human posture that prepares our bodies for more intense lower body moves and maintains joint integrity in all lower body joints.  Recently Nerijus recorded a video for Qinetic explaining the primal squat and how to do it.  See video below to learn why primal squat is an essential movement for anyone.

Basic Leg Warm Up at Train P3 (Video)

Basic Leg Warm Up at Train P3 (Video)
10 Sep

Warming up is not a major consideration to most recreational gym-goers. Some people believe a few jumping jacks or a quick jog is all it takes to get ready for the session. They feel that doing a warm up is a waste of time, especially when training time is limited.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

A proper warm up is one of the most important parts of a good training session; it acts as a movement preparation, injury prevention, pre-hab, rehab and as nervous system training. It mobilizes the joints, engages the muscles and activates the nervous system. A good warm up not only lowers the risk of injury during the session, it injury-proofs the body long term and significantly improves performance. The more advanced the athlete becomes, the more important a warm up becomes. This is because each training session is intense and stressful physically, mentally and even emotionally and the movements become more complex. Without a proper warm up, athletes just will not be able to achieve the level of intensity necessary or will get injured.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.
13 Jan

We don’t always have time or available facility to get a perfect training session.  This does not mean that we should abandon our training till all conditions are ideal.  It is beneficial to incorporate bouts of training into our daily lives even if they are brief.  Your movement practice could be subtle.  You could have increased awareness of the way your foot strikes the ground as you step of the curb, or mobilizing your wrists while waiting in line.  If you are more bold, you can be as overt as doing a handstand, hanging on a railing, or sitting in a deep primal squat while waiting for your train.  The important part is that you do something, because the little things can add up to great results.

Check out the article I wrote for Mind Body Green about training on the go and the video of training at the airport below.

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – TRX Assisted Pull Up

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – TRX Assisted Pull Up
09 Oct

WHAT IS IT FOR:

At Train P3 we use this exercise to assist or improve a vertical pull pattern.   We use it with clients who require a little assistance in a pull up or clients who have limited range of motion in their shoulders.  We aim to keep the trunk as vertical as possible and use light assistance from the legs.  This can also work as an added challenge to people with limited shoulder mobility.  The posterior tilt of the pelvis puts extra tension on throracodorsal fascia and adds a stretch to latisimus dorsi muslces.  For some this variation can be slightly more difficult than a chin up or a pull up and more targeted in the lats and muscles around the scapula.

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Single Leg V-Up

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Single Leg V-Up
16 Apr

WHAT IS IT FOR:

Single Leg V-up is an excellent trunk flexion, anterior core exercise.   It targets deep and superficial abdominals and hip flexor muscles.  Single leg V-up can also be used as a dynamic hamstring mobility exercise for people with stiff hamstrings.  In those cases single leg variation helps maintain better posture and is easier to balance than a regular V-Up.
