			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you doing the exercises that are right for you or are you feeding an existing injury or imbalance in your body? Chances are that unless you’ve had a full functional movement assessment, you may be doing more harm than good at the gym. <a href="http://www.gbpersonaltraining.com"><strong>Greg Brookes</strong></a>, a personal trainer and teacher of over 15 years, believes that only by having a full <strong>Functional Movement Assessment </strong>can you know your strengths and weaknesses .</p>
<p>He says, “There is a simple rule when it comes to correct movement patterns &#8211; get it right then add resistance to lock it in. By performing thousands of reps with a muscle imbalance you are locking in a faulty movement pattern. This will take on average 13 times the amount of reps to undo.”</p>
<p>Greg’s movement assessment runs the client through 7 movement screens and 3 clearance tests. Following on from the assessment he then knows all their strengths and weaknesses, and so knows which areas need attention and which areas are clear for further exercise. For example, lets say that your Squat Pattern or Lunge Pattern are faulty then these exercises would be avoided until mobility and stability modifications have been made elsewhere in order to correct these patterns. Single sided exercises with a kettlebell or dumbell will greatly help to level out muscle imbalances but you need to know which movements need more work.     Greg believes the body is designed to move in a number of primitive patterns. So we <em>squat </em>when we are sitting and standing,<em> lunge</em> when we are walking and running, <em>bend</em> when we are lifting, <em>twist</em> when we turn to look at something, <em>push and pull</em> as we use our arms.  Now. Lets imagine you go to the gym and start to squat and press a barbell over head. What happens to the weaker side and movement pattern? It doesn’t get used as much.  You compensate. So you may press the weight overhead with only 35% of your left and 65% of your right. Over time this will get worse and worse and usually without you knowing it.</p>
<p>Remember adding weight to a dysfunctional body will only “lock in” faulty movement patterns and make them worse. The result is always injury and a compromise that means uneconomical training. Get it right and burn more fat and grow more muscle, it’s as simple as that.</p>

<p>Celebrity personal trainer Mark Anthony (Billie Piper, Jordan), author of the Once a Week Workout (Anova Books) has created the ultimate body plan for the person who has everything but time to get into shape.The Lazy Woman&#8217;s Way to a Summer Body costs £3,000 and entails:</p>
<p>* Collection by car 4 days a week from the customer’s home to<br />
Mark’s gym in Holland Park;<br />
* An introduction session where Mark and a Nutritionist devise a<br />
personal programme to suit the customer’s needs;<br />
* Food delivered to the customer’s door for 6 weeks, 6 times per week;<br />
* An hour workout at Mark’s studio focusing on one body part per day<br />
followed by cardiovascular activity.  This approach has been proven to work;<br />

<p><a href="http://www.stunningpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/mark2.jpg" title="Mark Anthony"><img src="http://www.stunningpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/mark2.jpg" alt="Mark Anthony" /></a></p>
<p>Mark says, “Simplifying exercise so it becomes enjoyable is an art. All the better when the exercise that you&#8217;re doing is the exact amount of exercise required to stimulate a fantastic change in your body.”</p>
<p>“This system requires the individual to exercise one body part every 9 days, coupled with the right amount of cardio work to be performed immediately afterward. Follow a specific diet to supply your body with the right nutriments that it needs on a daily basis. There is no guess work, only a results orientated program with kick ass results!”</p>
