Many moons ago

I based a good training session on….

How sore my body would feel afterwards

So if I found myself with buttocks sorer than a baboons arse

Then I thought ‘great session!’

Fast forward a decade and I had a visitor at Leicester Tigers

A small Japanese man with a mythical air to him like Mr Miyagi

Disappointingly his name was just ‘Ken’

HOWEVER, this guy was a guru, a world leading researcher…

in understanding what ACTUALLY makes the body stronger and fitter

His research proves that my wanting to always feel ‘sore’

The hours and day after a session was RUBBISH!

Basically, Master Ken, proved that what makes your body sore

Does not relate to what makes your body adapt

Whether that’s in a strength, fitness or fat loss perspective

Instead, this delayed muscle soreness is the result of…

Exposing your body to new movements and forces

So take our legendary team member Dino at C.P

(who also has an equally legendary cat)

We did a modified exercise with him Weds…

due to a niggly shoulder, so not to stress it

Funnily enough today he had this soreness…

But its only because it’s a new stimulus and if he did it next week…

The soreness won’t really be there

So don’t base the success of a training session…

On how sore, achy and stiff you feel the next day

There is no relationship!

Plus it shows its important to be CONSISTENT…

Cause’, if you leave an exercise more than approx. 7 days…

Then next time you’ll have that baboons arse soreness

(not great if you involved in sports in particular!)

This is why we go into deep detail programming and coaching for our team members

No cookie cutter programmes, we’re dynamic….

To modify things on the spot they need to be

Give me a shout to find out more about this highly individual, unique support
