There is an entire industry built on telling women they need a different version of everything. Different training, different eating, different rules attached to different weeks. Most of it is a way of selling the same programme twice. Train hard, get strong, eat enough to support it, sleep. That is not a men's plan that women are borrowing. It is what a body asks for. The thing I object to is not the science, it is the quiet suggestion underneath it that women need the careful version, and I have never met a woman who was better off for being handed it. Share this with someone who was told to train differently. #vanjamoves #womenstraining #strengthtraining #trainingmyths #movementpractice #humanmovement

Stretching versus strength training for flexibility, from someone who stretched every day for three years and got nowhere. Nobody has ever lengthened a muscle by stretching it, a stretch only talks the brain into allowing more range for about an hour, and the next morning the range is gone. Range that gets held with a weight at the bottom is range the body decides to keep. A slow fold holding something light, ten reps, five seconds at the bottom, and a full squat holding something heavier, ten reps. Comment yes or no, has a stretch ever made you stronger. #FitnessTips #Flexibility #StretchingVsStrength #MobilityTraining #HowToMoveBetter #vanjamoves

Save this one and run it 10 to 12 reps per move. Three moves for your hips, glutes and lower back, done slow and controlled so every joint works through its full position. Stay active the whole way and own each rep. Use it as a warm-up before training, or any time you've been sitting for hours and want to feel strong and loose again. P.S. Want the full system for strong, mobile hips, knees and spine? Follow me, then comment READY and I'll send you my Mobility Toolkit. #hipmobility #glutestrength #lowerbackhealth #mobilitytraining #movementpractice
