Michelle Farrell Coaching

Many folks think the deadlift is dangerous and not for them- but hinging is something our bodies were made to do! If you are picking items, kids, fur babies up off the floor, learning to hinge in a safe and strong way is going to help prevent injury and tweaks and aches!

In Straight Up Strong, Tina Tang and I focus our programming on the “big 6” movements and their variations because they directly align with our everyday life activities! We want to support our members with moving through life strong, empowered and as independent as possible as they age!

Here are three moves to help you learn and master this foundational strength movement, the hinge!

If this was helpful, we always appreciate a like and a share! 💜

🎉Ready to lift with us from the convenience of your home in a judge free, non diet culture climate filled with support and inclusion of all bodies? We kick off September 8th and there is a spot for you! Send me a message and I can answer your questions and get you ready to roll! 🎉

Perfect Your Hinge! — Straight Up Strong If you are picking items and small kids or fur babies up off from the floor, a strong deadlift or hip hinge is going to support you with preventing a tweak or ache in your back!

Strength training is for everybody and is especially important for folks hitting the best time of their life - midlife! 😉

Diet culture will have us believing that fitness is for weight loss and as we settle into midlife, we can easily fall into the “why should I ‘bother’ to lose weight” or “what’s the point now?”

First, we are ALWAYS worth our time and energy to help ourselves feel empowered and confident and strong (which is what weight loss ads will say weight loss is all about)

and it can be hard for us recognize that there is so much more to training and movement - and we deserve that, especially as we age.

And that the confidence and empowerment weight loss is selling us, actually comes from within us and from us taking our power.

Strength training does that.

In addition to
- Creating strong muscles, bones, and connective tissue
- Helping to prevent injuries from your other daily activities
- Allowing you to remain strong and independent as you age
- Improving mobility and stability
Strength training connects us to ourselves and our power, enabling us to truly experience just what we are capable of.

And that, is why it is never too late to start.
That’s why strength training is for you.
