Today we looked at how you can train at home during self isolation. I get that it's a pretty ploppin stressful time we're collectively going through right now. In the past week, I've had a bunch of folks reach out asking about how training at home or joining our online training program to keep active.
You see, just because we can't go out doesn't mean we can't move our bodies (if we are up to it. No pressure to move if you don't feel) in a variety of different ways with different things that we have laying about at home.
One of the best household items you can incorporate into your movements is a backpack. It can be loaded up with as much or as little as you like and works a treat with increasing the intensity on a whole range of movements.
A loaded backpack is gonna offer a pretty evenly distributed load on your body, which helps to keep movements safe. You can do any squat or deadlift variation, lunge step, push up, chest press, shoulder press, sit up (with pack on your chest), loaded hip raises or crawls.
There's one thing to keep in mind if you're using a loaded backpack in your session, which is particularly important if you're using it for and squat/deadlift/lunge variation. This is to keep your chest up as much as possible and your shoulders down and back.
If you find it's too hard to keep your chest up consistently during movements, consider removing some weight from your pack. It may be that you've started a little heavy. Remember, it's better to start light and add load gradually than to go heavy straight away and risk injury.
If you're at home and new to training or have trained in the past and just don't know where to start now, because figuring out what to do and when to do it can be overwhelming, we can help.
Because of the amount of folks that have been reaching out to us for support, we wanted to create something that was accessible (considering how many folks are losing jobs and stuff at the moment) but of the highest quality training.
That's why Zay and I have put together an at home training program to support the needs of all TGD and LGBTQIA+ folks over the duration of this pandemic.
I've developed a series of training programs, all of which contain the best movements to practice that will help folks get their bodies moving safely. It does not require any prior training experience or special abilities to practice these sessions.
The sessions I've designed are all based on the knowledge I've accumulated over the past seven years, working with hundreds of amazing humans. All of whom have had their own unique variations in physical functionality and movement ability.
Our at home training program gives you a gradual introduction to movement and I'll be there supporting you as you train, so there's no need to educate your trainer on what it means to be TGD.
When you join us, you also get invited to join our rad as online community so you can be part of a group of other epic TGD folks that are all learning how to move and connect with their bodies too.
Making this program accessible has been one of our biggest goals. That's why we're running this epic program for just $10AU a week. You can join us and start any time that you like.
Your payments are kept secure through paypal, and you'll have a payment of $20 automatically come out every two weeks, beginning from the day you join us.
