Today's workout: Set the clock for 25-minutes and complete as many rounds as pretty (that's right, once your form gets a bit sloppy, call it a day, and go enjoy a smoothie and the sunshine - which is hopefully shining wherever you are). Take breaks as needed, but if you can, take them at the …
Free Workout Friday: 3.23.18
Happy Spring everyone! Hope everyone either has snow melting, or has spring blooms popping up. Speaking of snow melting... today's workout is sure to get you all fired up and heat those muscles up. Two new moves on this one, be sure to read through the instructions on them before doing them. AND, I'd even …
Free Workout Friday: 3.2.18
Happy Friday! If you have noticed the FWF series slowing down a bit, you're right. I've bumped the series to every other Friday. 52 workouts a year is a lot, and I noticed the ones I was drafting up for future posts were repeating (just in a different order) ones I had already published since …
Free Workout Friday: 2.16.18
Anyone else ready for Spring? I know I certainly am. Late Spring to be more specific. Not the muddy, melty mess early Spring is, but the full bloom, dried Earth Spring. We missed last week (sorry, there's no excuse, I just literally forgot it was Friday and to post!). But here we are, back on …
Free Workout Friday: 2.2.18
Winter is still in full gear, and the view from my window right now tells me it's sticking around for a bit. Have no fear, this week's Free Workout will warm you up nice and toasty. Today, you're going to do everything on one side, for five full reps before moving on to the next …
Free Workout Friday: Healthy Wrists.
Today's "workout" is a little different than the others. You can either sit, or stand for this one. You don't need any bands or weights. You don't need much space. Today, we're focusing on keeping your wrists happy, and healthy. Why? Think about all of the things that you're doing that are impacting your wrists: …
Certification Announcement!
You may have noticed that there was not a Free Workout Friday post this past Friday, and probably chuckled, thinking that I had forgotten, again. I didn't. While I do apologize for not getting a workout out to you all this week, it was for a very good reason. In an effort to better serve …
Training Tip Tuesday: The Push-Up
Let's talk about the push-up today. This is one of those movements that you see everyone do, and only a very, very small margin are doing them properly (read: effectively). We see hands too far forward, elbows too far out. Hips dropping down, pelvises slamming against the ground. We see variations of The Worm. Executing …
Training Tip Tuesday: Front Raise.
Everyone who wants big shoulders, or defined shoulders, does front raises. However, not everyone does them in a way that's going to best benefit the anterior deltoids to help them grow. Front raises can be done a variety of ways. Alternating your front raise with dumbbells, using dumbbells with your arms in sync, barbell raises, …
Training Tip Tuesday: The Lateral Raise.
If there is one body part I see trained incorrectly the most, it's shoulders. Men and women alike. Why? What's happening? Where is it breaking down in the movements? Easy. Proper execution of movement goes by the wayside for the sake of gains. Not muscle gains, weight gain in the lift. What do I mean? …
