Movingness Somatic Strength Training is a new approach to strength-building. It differs from other programs in several ways.

1. In Movingness, the body-mind connection comes first. Feeling the body is fundamental for a somatic approach. This makes it possible to learn new movements and challenge the body without exceeding its limits.

2. Movingness is not about imitation, it’s about freedom! In Somatic Workouts, you don’t have to worry about moving right or wrong. So please remember that all movements do not fit every body. Whenever you need to, you can ignore my suggestions and create your own adaptations and variations! Feel free to explore your body and find your own way of building strength. 

3. In Movingness, strength is more than muscle strength. It also includes mobility and elasticity. And of course, mental strength. Movingness is a holistic method where we’re training the body, but also the mind. 

4. When we deeply feel the body, it brings us into a flow state. We enter the zone, as some athletes would say. Other words for the same state are trance or meditation. This makes Movingness very pleasant to practice. The practice can become one of the best moments of your day and something you want to return to over and over again. 

Somatic Workouts can help you strengthen, build or improve:

• Muscle mass
• Fascial health and elasticity
• Mobility
• Balance & coordination
• Bone density
• Joint mobility and stability
• Pelvic floor support
• Metabolic health
• Immune system
• Breathing

Somatic workouts also have mental benefits. They can:

• Boost your mood
• Reduce depression and anxiety
• Increase vitality and mental flexibility
• Improve your body awareness and body-mind connection
• Increase self-confidence and body confidence
• Strengthen resilience
• Calm the mind

Before beginning any new exercise program, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing medical or mental conditions or concerns.

Students of different ages can participate in Movingness Somatic Strength Training. However, the program requires a certain basic fitness. So it’s important that you can:

• go down to and up from the floor
• carry your body weight with bent legs (squat) or arms (half plank)  

Movingness Somatic Movements is NOT for you if you for example have a:

• heart condition
• shoulder, neck, back, hip, or knee injury
• limited mobility

During the practice, you’re encouraged to listen to your body. This means you’re consciously observing and feeling how your body reacts to the practice.

This greatly reduces the risk of injuries. When you establish mindfulness of your body, you can feel what’s good for it and what’s not. In this way, your body becomes your main teacher. 

Somatic Workouts is not about imitation. The movements can be done with more or less effort. This is your choice and something I leave to you. During the workouts, I also provide adaptations and different levels of difficulty. Challenge yourself, but do not push yourself too far! 

Please remember: You can take a break or slow down whenever you like. In any situation, feel free to do more or less than I suggest. And create your own variations if you get inspired!

When you find the right level, you can gradually build strength from there and safely increase your outer and inner challenges!

That is the recipe for success in somatic strength training!

Is it “too late” to build muscle and fight sarcopenia in your 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s?? Here’s what the research says.

Resistance training is the most effective way to build and strengthen muscle at all ages. That means things like:

• lifting free weights like dumbbells

• using machine weights, like you find in a gym

• using resistance bands

• bodyweight exercises such as push-ups, squats, wall sits or tricep dips

In Movingness Somatic Workouts, we’re using bodyweight exercises, which means we’re creating resistance by lifting and moving our own bodies.
