The fundamental health premise of High Performance Ageing (HPA) is maintaining as great a range of functional movement as possible over the course of your life. When you are younger your exercise patterns will bias strong energetic physical activities and as you age your practice will soften and internalize. At Circlework we focus on using the whole body to move mindfully. You can have a strong body and be mentally focused and be calm and relaxed.
High Performance Aging - the big picture long term
In the context of conventional strength and conditioning, Circlework.Training incorporates circumduction and circular spiraling movement with light resistance training. The focus is on using your whole body while engaging with your full range of control. We practice training moving weights in circular patterns with high replications, starting stationary and then progressing to moving.
After a preliminary interview to assess your current fitness and capacity we will identify your goals and set out a pathway to achieve those goals safely and in a timely manner. (Please read the Safety First guidelines).
We will achieve your fitness goals using simple and safe progressions based on conventional sports science. This approach uses the science of adaptation and a process of progression, by applying systematic step by step incremental challenges that will lead you to the results you want to achieve.
This process is holistic and includes toning and strengthening of the nervous system, the muscle system and all of your connective tissues. The focus is on safe mindful movement and the long term physical and mental benefits you can derive from practice. Movement is essential of our immediate health and happiness and also ensures our future health.
The general exercise advice is at least 60 minutes of activity per day, this total can be divided into smaller 10-15 sessions, the key is to get moving and be active. This 60 minutes can include a mix of different activities.
Maintaining and supporting our mental and physical health are life long commitments. The benefits are self evident. When you practice HPA you can expect to experience some or all of the following, we can tailor your practice to focus on specific outcomes.
Single or group walking is one of the best exercises going and can easily be included in your physical activity mix. It's cheap, it's outdoors and it's what the human body is designed to do, walk! Hello cardio vascular health.
We will work on the basic the movement patterns for three fundamental movement skills, planks, lunges and squats. Then we will use these basics to build on stronger and more complex patterns to add to your movement repertoire. All of these progressions will be based on developing a wider range of movement based on stability and strength and may include the use of light weights for some resistance training.
Build stability and strength using fascial activation and biotensegrity organisation. Learn how to organise and activate and minimize the likelihood of injury.
Strong grounded practice, characterized by good posture and balance and movement patterns.
