Routine 🔒 by @strongwithlois

the real cost of comparing your body to everyone else’s is spending your whole life forgetting to appreciate your own.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make in core training is thinking crunches and planks are enough 💡

One of the biggest jobs our core has is resisting UNWANTED movement whilst the rest of the body moves. Trust me I learnt the importance of this hard way 🥹

After struggling with lower back problems, I started paying a lot more attention to how well I could control my spine and pelvis…

Let’s use this bird dog variation as an example - your core is working to stop the pelvis from rotating.

This is called anti rotation and including more of these types of movements into your training is going to help you move more athletically whilst reducing the risk of an injury.

And that’s exactly why I created The Core Project 💗

30 days. 3 phases. 3 core workouts. A daily 30 minute walk.

Less random ab workouts. More strength, stability and control.

Let’s be honest, we all don’t start lifting heavy with all of the knowledge that we need from the get go…
We acquire it as we grow, mature and learn about our bodies…

I trained to my best knowledgable ability for many years and got amazing results for a very long time before I started having any back issues.

If I can tell one person starting their journey whether your in your teens, late 20s or even late 30s + DONT neglect the stabilisers in your body, because one thing I learned the hard way from was ⬇️

YES my muscles were strong, but my tendons, joints and other stabilising muscles were not on the level to handle the load capacity.

Now my training looks like 10 steps backwards in order to go 20 steps forward again.. (not ideal, but it’s knowledge I’ll have for the rest of my lifetime and also for my clients) 🤍

And if this resonated, make sure your following me for more training advice from someone who’s training heavily revolves round back friendly exercises. 💓

A lot can change is 3 months and I’m living proof of that. ⬇️

12lbs / 5.4kg down in 90 days.

Let’s see what I can achieve this next 3 months, and ultimately I believe these will be the hardest 3 months as I’m now back in Scotland, why?

Lack of natural vitamin D ☀️ metabolic health might decline 📉

No humidity 🌴 I swear my body responds differently in warmer climates. I feel leaner, hold less fluid and seem to lose weight more easily. Whether that’s down to movement, appetite or other lifestyle factors, it’s something I’ve noticed.

Colder climate 🥶 - less movement, more time indoors and less daylight can make maintaining a calorie deficit harder / fluid balance changes.

I’m up for the challenge however!
My goal is to keep my physique post travelling BUT with the added workout routine locked in fully since I have a permanent place of abode now! (Ps I am still doing my home core workout daily - that won’t change). If you’re interested in my core challenge leave the word “CORE” and I’ll add you to my wait list! 💌
