MIDWEEK MOVEMENT - TOP OF FEET PLANK CHALLENGE • The plank has been used within movement programmes, around the world for many years, as a way of strengthening the core and surrounding limbs. • This variation helps to find a greater amount of core activation (than the traditional plank) by utilising this slight ‘hollow body’ shape and the fact that you are now on top of your feet (the laces) as opposed to the bottoms. • To get into this position make sure you have warmed up the body, especially the wrists, hands, shoulders, core, feet and ankles. (Basically everything 😂) • Start on all fours with the fingers wide and the hands flat on the floor, forefingers pointing forward. Press the ground away by protracting the scapula (slight depression as well) maintaining straight arms throughout. • Activate the core by drawing the lower ribs down and the lower belly back towards the spine. • Step both few back to a plank position, find a slight posterior tilt of the pelvis (this will feel like you are tucking the butt under / projecting the tailbone down towards the heels as opposed to up in the air). • Flip one foot over at a time, to come to the top of both feet placing the inside of the big toes together. Keep the feet level to prevent the heels falling out to the sides, grounding down through the area above the big toes. • Squeeze the inner legs together and activate the Glutes. You will also need a tonne of ‘Quad’ engagement to hold this position, this will also help to protect the knee throughout and to maintain stability. • Keep the neck neutral and relaxed, looking in front of the finger tips. • As a rough guide - Try three to five rounds of 30 seconds in addition to your own movement practice three times per week. • Giving this a go?

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY! Massive shout out to @rogerjamieson who first came on one of our courses two years ago. Since then he’s been back three times. Best thing is, he comes all the way from Canada! 🇨🇦 He’s also a Member of our Prime Evolution family, and here’s what he has to say about it.... • “Side by side images. Left 2016, Right 2018. Obvious difference. Looking at them the left one looks like I’m in better shape ...... I could bench more but my stamina and endurance was piss poor. Image on the right is the result of functional fitness training, using a program designed for what I wanted to achieve. I’m on my way to becoming a lean mean machine. Image on the right is after I climbed Two 1 mile ++30% gradient 700’ climbs with no real issues other then sweating through my clothes (30+ deg C 80+ humidity) and dodging massive spiderwebs with narley spiders. The guy in the left image would of had real issues. . So what is the point of this post, it’s not to boast about me but to boast about Break-Point’s fitness programmes. I’ve been using their programmes since the initial Battle Ready Program which morphed into the impressive Prime Evolution programme. They work, keep at it stay focused. I still have a long way to go but the improvements are very noticeable. Thanks to @ollie.ollerton and @david.tilston ” • Link in bio 👆🏻to our Prime Evolution fitness, mindset and nutrition programme.

MIDWEEK MOVEMENT • Walking has been proven to promote many health benefits and is ingrained into our evolution as human beings - covering long distances at low pace. • Walking is highly beneficial to our cardiovascular system, helps to prevent atrophy of the glutes (getting you off your butt - due to sitting down all day) and stimulates the neurological, digestive and lymphatic systems. • Walking has also been proven to improve mental and cognitive function via the above benefits, but also due to the vibration experienced when your foot hits the floor, sending specific signals to the brain. • Do you get cold often? A lot of this can be due to a sedentary lifestyle, a quick walk in the elements will help to warm you up for the day ahead and help you adapt to the ever changing environment around you helping to reduce your chances of getting ill. • Movement is one of the best forms of anti-depressants available to us, feel low = get moving! • Walking plays a key part of the Prime Evolution programme, promoted throughout the week and especially on recovery days as well as a wide range of movement variations. For more information follow the link in our bio. • Are you planning to walk over the next few days? Post and then tag us on your daily walk and let us know how it benefits your physical and mental health! • We will leave you with a pic of Ollie and Murphy on their daily walk. Have a great day - whatever part of the world you are in, from us all at @break_point_uk.

Amen to that 🙌🏻 #worldmentalhealthday . . #Repost @battlereadyfuel ・・・ Make a difference to just one of the 13.5 million lives which are at risk each year around the world. Encourage them to speak out. 🗣 . . . #worldmentalhealthday #nohealthwithoutmentalhealth #WMHD18

TESTIMONIAL TUESDAY - this week we congratulate Helen on some incredible dedication over 12 weeks and beyond, well done from us all at @break_point_uk 👏🏻 • “Just over 12 weeks ago I started my BPPE journey and what a journey it’s been!! • I joined mainly for the nutritional side, (to lose weight, eat more healthily and still have enough energy to train 6/7days a week) but decided if I was doing it I might as well do the other two elements and I am so glad I did!! • The nutrition plan is brilliant, I love the choice of foods and I haven’t got bored eating the same foods over and over again like I have done on other plans due to the variety. I have even been able to get the rest of the family to eat some of the meals which is great. I have had a few blips like eating cake when I’ve been out on a long bike ride but on the whole I have stuck to it and I’ve lost 1stone 5lb (8.6kg)!! • The body section-well I knew I wasn’t flexible but I didn’t realise just how bad I really was until this. I also thought I was fit (I run ultra-marathons, swim and now cycle) but this program just showed I wasn’t!! I have loved every days workout even though I have found them tough and I am now more flexible and stronger than I was. • The mind-I have always been a negative and pessimistic person but this program has turned me into a positive ‘glass half full’ kind of a person!! My outlook on life has changed I can now see positives all around me rather than the negatives and when attempting new challenges I now have the belief that I can succeed!! • Above are my before and after photos. I can’t thank BPPE enough for what they have done for me!! Roll on the Assessment and Phase 2.” • To learn more about our Prime Evolution online programme follow the link in our bio!

Today is Monday NOT Moanday!! Smile, be positive and crack on with the week ahead! It’s a whole new week full of exciting opportunities. Whatever you’re doing, do it with a smile 😃 . . #mondaymindset #mondaymotivation #mondaymornings #positivity #ollieollerton #smile
