Ladies, this one is for you and it promises to be an incredible day of empowerment and education.
Life Changing Fitness will be holding a seminar for women on how to lift weights properly. It will be a day long practical and the first course will be specifically aimed at women who have never lifted weights or who have lifted for less than a year. If you have attended the previous courses where we take a look at the squat, bench and deadlift, then this seminar is a great extension on to this as we now take a look at:
PUSH PRESS
GLUTE/ HIP THRUSTS
SHOULDER STRENGTH & STABILITY
HIIT TRAINING
We will take you through the full setup of gym equipment to make you confident when stepping into a gym. You will learn how to lift properly FOR YOUR goals, this is not a blanket approach to teaching – everyone will learn how to lift weights for their abilities whatever they are.
This seminar will be fun, relaxed with a huge variety of women on the day – from all abilities and starting points. The absolute novice to intermediate gym goer will learn a HUGE amounts on the day and leave feeling empowered, strong and confident.
