Feel strong, both physically and mentally with Fluidform.
Movement for strength.
The regular and consistent Fluidform movement philosophy has an incredible impact on both your physical and mental strength. You are working your muscles through slow, controlled movements to strengthen all your tiny muscles, developing an even tone across your entire body. Fluidform challenges your focus, coordination and balance to strengthen your mind. The combination of both, feeling strong in your body and a sense of mental strength generates an overall feeling of empowerment and confidence.
The movements we practice in Fluidform are functional, meaning they are directly related to our day-to-day movements and daily function. The benefit of this type of exercise means we learn to perform daily activities with strength, precision and confidence to improve our general performance and reduce the risk of injuries associated with everyday life. Whether this be a strained neck or poor posture from sitting at a computer, or lower back and hip injuries brought on by heaving lifting or intense labour, or weak knees and ankles from running long distances.
Fluidform strengthens your muscles by fatiguing them. The layered sequences work to continuously challenge your muscles in all dimensions from the moment you step onto your mat. This is what builds physical strength and overtime, muscle development. These movements target all the smaller muscles to effectively balance your body as a whole, creating a strong, well-functioning body. This ability to move well, free of pain and feel strong and able instills a sense of confidence and motivation. Therefore, we are simultaneously building our physical strength with our mental strength.
Strength is a core pillar to all Fluidform workouts. This 30-minute total body workout starts by working your core – your powerhouse muscle groups responsible for controlling, driving and moving your entire body. We move into our inner thighs to bring energy into our lower body – releasing our hips and activating our glutes. Bring everything together with a final heart-starter to get the blood pumping. It’s amazing what 30 minutes can do to your physical and mental strength!

Nutrition for strength.
To build strength, our bodies need nutrients. First and foremost, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of your health and nutrient needs. We recommend speaking to your GP to discuss any nutrient or vitamin deficiencies. When we are deficient, our bodies are not fully functioning and therefore limited in our ability to build strength and feel strong. Here are some key ingredients to incorporate into your meals to feel strong.
- Red Meat – Red meat is high in iron, zinc, creatine, micronutrients, protein and healthy fat, all vital components for muscle growth and maintenance.
- Chicken – Chicken is a great lean source of protein and has been used for many years as a muscle-promoting food.
- Hemp Seeds – Hemp seeds boast an incredible nutritional profile. Hemp seeds contain all 9 essential amino acids as well as a range of vitamins and minerals. Hemp seeds are also a great source of protein. Add a sprinkle of hemp seeds to your salad, smoothie or warm dish.
- Yoghurt – Greek yoghurt contains all essential amino acids. In addition to this, yoghurt is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin D.
- Kale – Kale holds an impressive amount of iron, vital for muscle development and strength. Try including massaged kale instead of lettuce as your next salad base.
