The ability to consciously connect to a target muscle to ‘feel’ it working is a feature of resistance training.

You haven't got to look too far in the gym to find a trainee or trainer saying you "shouldn't lunge" or you "shouldn't take your knee past your toe" because it causes knee pain.

Kinematics and Kinetics are areas of study in physics that can better help us understand how humans move (human biomechanics).

First of all these are not the same thing, and there is an important distinction between the two.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness happens when you train and your muscles get damaged leading to 24 up to 72 hours after training you start to feel sore.

First of all, I want to point out that It takes time to build muscle. No one increases a significant amount of muscle accidentally.

It’s great to have training goals and even better if you have more than one. But there’s a limit to how many things you will be able to work on simultaneously. And, it can get to a point where you start spreading yourself too thin.

When it comes to muscle gain, there needs to be synergy between your gym routine, how much you progress training, your overall training volume (number or reps and sets), your caloric intake, and the types of food you eat, your recovery and lifestyle choices outside of the gym and your genetics.

Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis is the amount of energy you use during your daily activities, not including sleeping, eating, or exercising. You can utilise up to five times as much energy over the course of the day with NEAT as you can in one hour of training..

Depending on the intensity and type of training it can take 48-72 hours for our muscles to repair themselves, and not giving them enough time can actually slow down your gains and lead to issues such as injury. This, as you probably know, defeats the purpose of weight training.

Your MHR is an important number to know when you’re trying to achieve a level of fitness. You can use your MHR to help you establish your own heart rate zones. Equipped with your MHR, you or your personal trainer can develop a personalized fitness routine that pushes your bpm into the aerobic zone, where fat loss and muscle development occurs.

It’s no secret that strong glutes are on trend for both men and women. We tend to focus on the aesthetic appeal of a shapely posterior, and we often forget that strong glutes serve an important function.

Having a sleepless night every now and then is normal, but if you frequently have trouble falling or staying asleep, then it’s worth implementing some strategies to help promote a good night's sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to short- and long-term health issues that can affect all areas of your life.

Boosting your home workout routine with just a few pieces of equipment can significantly shorten your fitness goal time and provide a better, more well-rounded workout.

Following on from my last blog about the risks associated to HIIT , I want to focus this blog on an alternative form of training called peripheral heart rate action training (PHA)

While HIIT certainly does have its benefits, it’s not a perfect solution for everyone, and there is a risk that it can do more harm to your body than good.

Supersets are commonly used in strength workouts and are a great way to organise your training.
