MoveStrong Definition of Strength Practice

At MoveStrong we practice the skills of strength and mobility aka moving strong and well.

Oftentimes however, outsiders have a mixed thought about what ‘practicing strength’ means. 

Is it bodybuilding, is lifting to the extreme to boast our achievements at the end of the week, is it like the stuff you see crossfit doing – or is it something else? 

Let me briefly define how I would categorise the key three areas of strength training that we practice and who these forms are generally for. 

Restorative strength

This is what I recommend to people who feel weaker through lack of activity, busy lives and work etc. This could be described as rebuilding the strength we know we should have. The ability to do gardening all morning without feeling worn out. The ability to play with our kids, or grand children if we’re at that stage. The ability to be able to get down to the floor and back up without difficulty. 

• Restorative strength forms the basis of my over 50s training plans. Sensible, safe, progressive and cheerful.
• Restoring our natural strength and abilities is well in truly covered in customised MovNat programs.

Progressive strength

For sports, special endeavours and explorations. When we have established a good level of strength and want to take it further. 

• This a service I provide on a one-to-one basis owing to the specialised nature of the programming. 
• This often occurs in small group training when it’s a common goal.
• The Amazing 12 also fits nicely in here. Check it out folks …

Transformation strength

Strength is a wonderful tool, an attribute every human was born to possess. Strength can be used to transform someone physically, to lose unwanted body fat, increase fitness and flexibility, increase self esteem and learn valuable lifestyle habits. 

• Our Amazing 12 Limerick is the service I run throughout the year in waves to help people meet the person they know they are. I know that sounds cheesy and full of hype – but it truly is an ‘awesome’ program with fantastic outcomes.
