Form & Function | Mastering Proper Form & Lifting Techniques with Amanda Clements
Investment: $45

Are you new to the gym or looking to enhance your lifting routine? Join us for an informative and hands-on fitness workshop designed to help you master the fundamentals of weight lifting! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced lifter, this session will provide valuable insights into proper form, technique, and injury prevention.

What You’ll Learn:
Embracing the Core: One of the most important aspects of lifting is the engagement of your core. When we talk about “embracing the core,” we’re referring to consciously tightening the muscles around your abdomen, lower back, and pelvis to create stability. A strong core not only supports your movements but also helps prevent injury by maintaining proper posture throughout your lifts. Learn how to activate these muscles and incorporate them into every movement for better performance and safety.

Proper Squat Technique: The squat is a staple in any fitness routine, but many lifters unknowingly perform it incorrectly. We’ll break down the movement step-by-step, focusing on foot placement, knee tracking, hip mobility, and keeping a neutral spine. You’ll understand how to squat safely and effectively while getting the most out of the exercise.

Deadlifts Done Right: The deadlift is another essential lift, but if performed incorrectly, it can put unnecessary strain on your lower back. We’ll teach you how to properly hinge at the hips, keep the bar close to your body, and use your legs to drive the movement. You'll learn how to maintain a flat back and engage your core to protect yourself from injury.

Other Common Lifting Exercises: We’ll also cover key techniques for other popular exercises such as lunges, bench presses, overhead presses, and rows. These exercises, when performed with proper form, can dramatically improve your strength, muscle development, and overall fitness.
