Times are tough and they’re about to get tougher. You want to stay healthy, but money is tight. Understand this: successful weight training is about correct form, excellent posture, full range of motion, and an adequate amount of weight. So what if, in a series of lessons, LEONG Orthopaedic Health could teach you to lift weights and stretch — properly, effectively, independently — so you can workout on your own?

LEONG Orthopaedic Health is excited to offer a comprehensive package that, upon graduation, will allow you to safely and successfully workout by yourself, or with a friend.

What Will Learn to Lift Weights Teach Me?

With Learn to Lift Weights, you’ll:

  • Improve your posture. Proper posture is essential. Building muscle around poor posture will only cause pain.
  • Increase your mind-body connection, giving you more control over your musculature. This way, maintaining strict form becomes more natural.
  • Hold your body correctly at the start of each exercise, through the movement, with full range of motion. Performing exercises incorrectly causes injuries.
  • Breath properly. Inhaling during the eccentric phase and exhaling during the concentric phase of each repetition takes the pressure off the heart and prevents hemorrhoids. 
  • Address any dysfunctional movement patterns you may have and re-educate your body with more functional ways of moving.
  • Safely strengthen your ligaments, tendons, and bones alongside your muscles with the correct number of sets and reps, while increasing the resistance in increments.
  • How to stretch safely and effectively with the correct amount of force.

Holding proper posture, correct form, with functional full range of motion, while breathing properly can be frustrating to do all at once. But by the 5th session, you’ll get pretty good at it!

  • No gym membership required.
  • We’ll start with your complementary initial consultation. It’s ideal to schedule this at the time you choose for your weekly workout. That way, during the tour of the facility, you can assess the feel and busyness of the gym. We’ll also do a medical history intake.
  • At the start, sessions can last up to 90 minutes. Once you get the hang of things, the sessions are usually between 60 and 75 minutes. 
  • Sessions include strengthening, stretching, posture correction, core strengthening, balance and fall prevention according to specific needs, and mobility using all the body’s muscle groups with a special focus on exercises that rehabilitate areas of injury.
  • If a physiotherapist’s, surgeon’s or other healthcare professional’s expertise is required for diagnosis, we will attend the appointment at NO CHARGE as this will help design the best program for you.

Your take-away workout can be programmed for:

  • Your own home using soup cans and water-filled milk jugs, or
  • Using purchased dumbbells, or
  • At a gym.
