Lifting her kids again, pain-free: Amanda

Amanda lifts her son again without pain. And her seven-year-old daughter too.

“It’s fantastic that I can lift my son again, without pain. Even my seven-year-old daughter. She’s a bit heavier!”

A conversation first

Amanda trains at CrossFit Leiden and has known coach Jari for ten years. So reaching out to him was a small step.

“I’ve known Jari for ten years and I trust him completely. So I thought: let’s have a chat. Let’s see what he can do for me.”

It started with a conversation. Then Jari took photos of her posture and watched how she runs. That is how Unlock Motion always starts: first we look at how you move, then we make a plan. We call that the Body-APK.

Stronger in class

Amanda did a lot of exercises for her core and her posture. She noticed the difference quickly, in the regular classes too.

“My core got stronger quite quickly, and I could really feel it during the CrossFit classes: I could do so much more than before.”

Next: running faster

Then a new goal came along. Amanda wanted to run faster. Together with Jari she worked on stronger hamstrings and glutes.

“My biggest win over the past year was doing three one-kilometre sprints. I’m faster than ever. Without pain. Every step felt really powerful.”

In doubt?

Amanda keeps it short: “If in doubt, I say: do it.” A first conversation is always possible. You will soon notice whether it clicks.
