When it comes to training…
every choice we make….either pushes injuries into the future (hopefully to ‘never’)✅✅✅
…or pulls them back towards us in the here & now❌❌❌
✅Targeted warm-up & mobilisation (2-3mins can make a HUGE difference to readiness)
❌Jump in with zero preparation
✅Sensible, incremental increase in weight lifted
❌Aggressive, large jumps in load
✅Taking the long-term/bigger picture approach
❌Loading new movements so heavily it leads to failure in wk1
✅Controlled eccentric movements
❌Uncontrolled ‘dropping’ of weights on each rep, leaving vulnerable connective tissues to ‘catch’ the load
Shove injuries into the future- prepare your body to lift, select appropriate starting loads, execute movements with quality form & increase weights by realistic amounts✅

“I don’t need to go to the gym…my job is active/I walk the dog twice a day/have to keep up with two kids”
Fair play to you!🫡👍
Activities, such as above, are important & there’s no doubt they contribute to our daily calorie expenditure
However- it is prudent to realise that *nothing* has the age defying impact of regular, progressive strength training🏋️
Nothing tells our body to retain muscle, strength & capability like training with weights 🏋️♀️
So keep up the 🐕 walks, gardening, etc alongside weekly strength training 🫡

This is not a customer business. It is a people business.
Comment POD17 and we’ll send you the full podcast episode.
In this clip, the conversation challenges the rise of unmanned gyms and what it signals to members. When people walk into a space with no one there, no names being used and no interaction, it sends a clear message about the level of care and attention they can expect.
Members are not transactions. They are individuals who want to feel recognised, supported and part of something. Simple things like greeting people by name and having a visible team on the floor can completely change the experience.
It’s a reminder that gyms are built on relationships. The more human the environment feels, the stronger the connection and the longer people stay.
