Fat Loss Blueprint Proficiency Test
Before we push harder in training, we dial in movement quality. Today’s session is a proficiency test using four foundational patterns: • Pull • Push • Plank • Squat These movements form the backbone of the Natural Bodies Method. When your technique improves, your workouts become safer, stronger, and far more effective for fat loss. Your goal today isn’t speed. It’s precision, control, and awareness. Pull (Pull-ups / Inverted Rows / Band Rows) Benefits • Strengthens back, shoulders and arms • Improves posture and spinal stability • Builds real-world pulling strength • Helps balance pressing movements Technique Cues • Start by pulling your shoulders down and back • Keep your chest proud • Pull elbows towards your ribs • Move with control both up and down • Avoid swinging or using momentum Think: Chest to bar, not chin to bar. Push (Push-ups) Benefits • Builds chest, shoulder and tricep strength • Strengthens the core and stabilisers • Improves upper-body endurance • Supports shoulder joint health Technique Cues • Hands under shoulders • Body in a straight line from head to heels • Lower with control • Elbows at about 45° • Push the floor away powerfully Think: Move your body as one solid plank. Plank Benefits • Strengthens deep core muscles • Protects the spine and lower back • Improves posture and stability • Builds endurance for all other movements Technique Cues • Elbows under shoulders • Brace your core and glutes • Keep hips level with shoulders • Avoid sagging or piking • Breathe slowly and stay tight Think: Brace like someone is about to punch your stomach. Squat Benefits • Strengthens legs and glutes • Improves mobility in hips and ankles • Boosts metabolism and calorie burn • Builds functional strength for everyday life Technique Cues • Feet shoulder width apart • Push hips back and down • Keep chest up • Knees track in line with toes • Drive through mid-foot and heels Think: Sit between your heels, not onto your toes.
