Lifts and Sprints

Oxford hoops u12s basketball team getting a head start with their strength, speed and conditioning work- heading into off season.

Athletics is not just for track and field athletes… athletics training builds the fundamental movement patterns for all sports!

I love the focus and willingness to step upto a challenge of these superstars, the futures looking bright ✊🏿

Big shout out to for this Tabata finisher 💦

Rumour has it, if you’re around me too long I’ll brainwash you into believing you can achieve anything 🏆

Your coaches and trainers aren’t superhuman! We don’t have secret cheat codes, none of us got here through a quick fix 2,4,6week program…

I’m here to educate you on how your body responds to different training and lifestyle manipulations. To support you in long term behaviour changes to achieve the lifestyle you want.

once you realise YOU ( your daily decisions and long term habits) are solely accountable for your health and fitness- both physical and mental, all you have left to do is start.

Here’s a quick floor core workout..

Crunches strengthen abs, to build a stronger core you should aim to include multi directional movements, and create a mind to muscle connection to activate and relax specific muscle groups associated to the movement.
As always work within movement ranges that you can control- using both breathe work and muscle activation .

3-5 sets 10-20 reps

Save, share, give it a go and leave a comment.

Movement matters

Here’s a few lower body mobility and activation exercises to add to your warm up.

As a coach I see Mobility and muscle activation neglected time and time again. You wouldn’t try to start your car in 5th gear, so why do you expect your body to do the same?!

Mobilising the joints you’re going to load is key to achieving full ranges of motion - ultimately increasing the strength and efficiency of your movement. If you’ve been struggling, pop into one of classes starting back this week!

Save, share and give it a go.

What a great week back, we go again tomorrow!

Last week the junior athletics academy regrouped on track🙌🏿

I can’t stress how much more there is than just running! We restarted with endurance, speed and jumps trials with some massive pbs across the board 😁

But above the physical skills, self discipline, team work and positive mindset developments we practice. It has been so refreshing to watch the social developments week in, week out!

It hasn’t been an easy feat keeping grassroots sports going, but every session these guys show up with heart, ready to work

We’re back to regular Tuesday/Thursday split group training after the holidays.

Let’s keep up the great work academy family!!

The long awaited countdown is upon us. Here’s a snippet of training and how we’ve adapted and kept busy, awaiting the reopening of gyms In England.

How fantastic to be able to see so many of our academy juniors during last weeks half term! Everyone showed up focused and ready to work, remembering why we do all the exercises we do, And running with purpose!

Advanced Ab workout

But what are “abs”? - Your abdominal muscles are essentially just that, muscles.

As with all muscles we want to strengthen them through putting them under tension. Stronger/conditioned abs can reduce muscular imbalance and assist in developing movement performance.

Weak abs can cause poor stability, posture and compensatory stress to connecting muscles I.e lower back to work over time = back pain

EVERYONE has abs! The visibility of all muscle (muscle tone) is dependent on your body composition (fat / muscle/ water %) Before you try a million crunches and waist trainers for “instant”results, understand how your body reacts to your current nutrition/ eating habits. Alongside program reviews, can also highlight responses to your training stresses... trust the process and remember all muscle has a function!
