I’m part of a lot of online groups for exercise, mainly lifting groups because that’s my current sport and one I’m still learning a lot about. One of the most common things I’m reading in them at the moment is 👉 ‘with the gyms shut, I can’t lift big as I don’t have access to the weights I need. What should I be doing so I don’t lose my strength?’ Before lockdown I was on a build up for a competition, so I was lifting heavy 🏋️‍♀️ Since being in lockdown, I haven’t lifted anything above 20kg. Why?? Because I’m taking this opportunity to give my body a break! Not a break from training, a break from heavy lifting, loading your body constantly like that puts your body under a lot of stress, having some time off is not a bad thing! So what should you be doing instead? 🤔 Easy. Your weaknesses, work on them, work on the things your miss and skip because you don’t have time or don’t like them. Work on your flexibility, your mobility, agility, explosive power, breathing techniques. The list is endless! 📝 and guess what? If you do all of these thing during lockdown, when you do get back to lifting, you’ll be much more prepared and your body protected so when you work back up to your heavy lifting, you’ll be stronger 💪 To peak at your sport, you can’t just do the main thing in your sport repeatedly. You must build on the things under the surface, the things you can’t see. That’s where the magic truly is 🤩✌️ . . . #sport #fitness #trainingforsport #sportspecific #fitgirl #sportsfitnessmotivation #team #healthyfit #performacetraining #athlete #sportlife #personaltrainer #musclesupport #fitfam #healthylifestyle #fitnessgirl #sportscoach #strongertogether #ampedperformance #traintobetheone #pushtobebetter #ownit #speedmachanics #lateralmovements #agilitywork #powertraining #athleteperformance #workonyourweeknesses #crownedforsuccess #flexibilityandmobility https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Iw8sUnB9D/?igshid=191xck2ek2abo
