๐Ÿ”ฅ How to Use the 45ยฐ Leg Press Safely ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Adjust the seat to suit your height. If youโ€™re shorter, raise the backrest. If youโ€™re taller, lower it for a greater range of motion.

If youโ€™re new to the machine, start without adding extra weight.

Step into the machine and use the top bar for support as you lower yourself into the seat. Place your feet on the lower platform, hold the safety handles, press the platform away, release the handles, and position your feet safely.

๐Ÿ‘ Glute Focus
Place your feet high on the platform, hip-width apart. Bend your knees and press through your heels to return to the starting position. Keep your knees tracking over your toes and use your breathingโ€”inhale as you lower, exhale as you press.

๐Ÿฆต Quad Focus
Place your feet lower on the platform, hip-width apart. Keep your knees over your toes, maintain a controlled range of motion, engage your core, and avoid locking out your knees.

โœ… Finishing
After your final rep, place your feet at the bottom of the platform and re-engage the safety handles. Lower your feet to the floor, sit up, grab the top bar, and carefully step out.

Save this for your next leg day! ๐Ÿ’ช

Today was session 2 of Kaarditjin Dandjoo - Learning Together

We explored the importance of culture, connection, language, and Country. One of the key learnings was that culture is about nurturing, embracing, and looking after one another. Sometimes when you donโ€™t know what to say, a simple handshake and a nod can communicate respect and understanding.

We looked at the Aboriginal Australia map and learnt how the environment influences language. South-eastern dialects are often spoken more slowly, while northern dialects tend to be spoken faster. In some regions, Aboriginal sign language developed and was commonly used, particularly in hot conditions where conserving energy was important. It was fascinating to learn how the environment can shape the way people communicate.

Some Noongar words and concepts we learnt included:
๐ŸŒง๏ธ Makuru โ€“ cold and wet
โ˜๏ธ Mar โ€“ dark cloud and wind
๐ŸŒง๏ธ Boorong โ€“ rain
๐ŸŽฃ Geeja โ€“ spear
โ›ฐ๏ธ Kaart โ€“ hill
๐Ÿฆ˜ Waitj/Wetj โ€“ emu
๐Ÿ• Dwerta โ€“ dog or dingo
๐Ÿชฑ Bardi โ€“ witchety grub
๐Ÿฆก Coomarl โ€“ possum
๐Ÿ‘‹ Boorda โ€“ see you later

We also learnt how petroglyphs of animal tracks have been documented over time, and how these symbols may have evolved and developed through generations while continuing to tell stories and share knowledge.๐Ÿ‘ฃ๐Ÿพ

Thank you Charmaine and Harvey aboriginal corporation for another week of Kaartdijin Dandjoo - Learning Together ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–คโค๏ธ

Session 1: Kaartdijin Dandjoo โ€“ Learning Together โœจ

Yesterday we had the privilege of learning about Noongar culture, language, symbols, and the deep connection between people, place, and culture.

Some of the many things we learnt included:
๐ŸŒฟ โ€œKayaโ€ means both hello and yes.
๐Ÿฆ˜ โ€œBookaโ€ means kangaroo cloak.
๐Ÿฆ˜ โ€œYongaโ€ means kangaroo.
๐Ÿฆž Marron is a Noongar word.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Fire is known as โ€œKaalโ€ or โ€œKarlaโ€.
๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ We explored the three Noongar dialects and the importance of correct pronunciation, including words beginning with the distinctive โ€œNgโ€ sound.
๐Ÿ’•โ€œNgabala ngoonda,โ€ means safety or to be safe, reminding us of the importance of looking after one another

We also gained insight on traditional tribal laws and the way relationships and responsibilities are understood within Noongar culture.

Did you know that there are no direct Noongar words for โ€œpleaseโ€ or โ€œgoodbye!?โ€
Instead, โ€œBoordaโ€ means โ€œlater.โ€ Which is a beautiful expression that carries the meaning of seeing someone later, whether in this life or the next.

A heartfelt thank you to Harvey aboriginal corporation for sharing their knowledge and helping us deepen our understanding of Noongar culture with respect and care. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ–คโค๏ธ
