Philosophy
The Christine A. Method is built around 3 core principles, that each training session is designed to incorporate.
Mind to muscle connection
When we train, I will guide you to connect your breath and awareness to each muscle activation, so that your body and mind are working in concert.
Learning to tether your awareness to the actions of your different muscle groups amplifies your results as it becomes something that you carry throughout your life - not just during a fitness routine
Time optimization
What this looks like in practice:
Safely training to failure, where relevant
Structuring workouts to maximize your time
Incorporating simple rituals of movement at key periods throughout the day
Progressive loading
This is often understood to mean “adding heavier and heavier weights over time” but that doesn’t quite capture the full picture.
Yes we will learn to safely increase weights in a gradual and safe progression over time, but effective progressions are also made by making modifications to form and sometimes simply by slowing down or increasing the pace of each movement.
