Stretching regularly has a range of benefits, including improving your performance, decreasing your risk of injuries, reducing stress, and lowering tension in the body. Say goodbye to tight shoulders and sore backs with regular stretching and myofascial release.
Our stretch classes are tailored to individuals, so that you will learn the best stretches for your body and your injuries, how to protect your joints, and the do and don’ts of stretching for recovery and injury prevention.
Our stretch classes are not about how quickly you can touch your toes or your ability to do the splits but rather increasing your range of movement and reducing your pain to enable you to do the everyday things you love. We focus on things like increasing mobility for surfing or gym, reducing your back pain from years of desk work, or getting you prepped for the season of sport ahead.
During your first week at Movement Innovation we encourage both your load (how heavy you are lifting) and intensity (how hard you are going) to be at 40-50%, and we focus on technique.
Whether it is your first day in a gym, it has been a while since you have trained, or you are coming straight over from something different; we want the body to transition smoothly.
Focusing on technique in this first week leads to less muscle soreness, rapid recovery, and sets you up for injury free movement for life.
In your second week your load remains light at 50-60% of your capabilities, but we encourage increasing the intensity.
Your body is starting to adapt to the form of movement. This is where the magic starts to happen, you’ll notice your energy increases and you get a nice hit of dopamine after every session. The part we love the most is you can increase this as much or as little as you can handle.
In your third week your technique is improving, and we can start to increase your load up to 70-75%, as you start to feel stronger, fitter and more confident. Increasing the load is crucial to building muscle and toning.
In your fourth week you will be able to hit 80-100% of both your load and intensity as your technique, fitness and recovery all improve.
By your fourth week you will feel like you have more energy, you will feel stronger, you will feel fitter.
By day 28 the foundations have been set. The once scary first session is a distant memory, and this is the first time you’ve felt excited about what lies ahead.
You’ve noticed that the others who were training with you are now your accountability buddies, and you drive each other to be better.
This is when a goal turns into a lifestyle; you now live the movement.
