The direction most women forget to train. (But not us!)
Fantastic Friday Tip:
Most women train forward and backward only.
Squats. 🏋️♀️
Lunges.
Deadlifts.
Machines.
🔥 All great.
🤸♀️But the body doesn’t live life in a straight line.
You step sideways to catch your balance.
You rotate to grab something behind you.
You twist when carrying groceries or picking up a kid.
If we don’t train those directions…
they slowly disappear.
That’s when folks start saying:
“Why does my back feel stiff?” 😣
“Why do I feel unstable?” 🤪
🤸♀️🤸♀️ The missing piece is often lateral and rotational strength.
Side-to-side movement ↔️
Across-the-body movement 🔄
These build the kind of strength that helps us with:
• kickass balance and reaction time
• lubricated joints even our necks!
• keeping brain fog at bay 🧠
• feeling athletic again 🏃♀️ 🤸♀️
Two simple moves to try this weekend:
Lateral (side-to-side)
Rotational (across the body)
Is your STRENGTH training multi-directional? Any favorite movements? Comment below!
