Making Sense of GFNH Coaching Cues

What does it mean to, “push the ground up and away”

A client asked me this recently and I realized how this cue could easily make NO sense! I even had a hard time explaining it, so I figured it was a great opportunity for visual demonstration! Common cues when it comes to lower body exercises

  • “Push the ground up and away”
  • ”Push through your feet”
  • “Push through the mats”
  • ”Feel your whole foot on the floor”

What does it all mean?

You generate SO much power from your feet so initiating the movement with a strong base is key to pushing against gravity. Check out what I mean in these examples:
