Understanding Injury
Injury occurs when load/force exceeds capacity. Therefore, to reduce the risk of injury occurring we need to increase our capacities aka increase our mobility.
Master The Basics
In order to create sentences we need to know words. In order to create words we need to know the alphabet. What I want you to do now is think about this concept as it relates to your training. Do you know your fitness A, B, C’s?
The Importance Of Variability
When it comes to training there are no bad movements just unprepared bodies. With that said there are exercises that are better than others for achieving certain outcomes but regardless of what you’re doing you need to be prepared for variability.
What Is Mobility And Why It’s Important
I’d like to put an end to a common misconception in the fitness industry and that misconception is that flexibility and mobility are the same thing. The idea that mobility and flexibility are the same thing is an idea that has been passed around in the fitness industry for far too long.
Your Body Is A Good Crook
The primary and quite possibly the only reason you have a nervous system is to move. Therefore, your body will always try to create whatever movement you ask of it but what you need to know is that your body is a crook.
What is Sleep Hygiene?
Sleep hygiene simply refers to your sleeping habits. Like regular hygiene it can be good or bad and it has a tremendous impact on your overall health and well-being. In my opinion and experience sleep hygiene is one of the most misunderstood and/or overlooked aspects of health and well-being so I hope to provide some useful information on this topic.
Key Nutritional Advice
When it comes to diet the first piece of advice I give all my clients is to eliminate the consumption of processed, artificial, and/or highly refined foods. I understand that goals vary, some people want to lose weight and some want to gain weight. Regardless of the goal you have in mind, that first rule stays consistent. If you stop putting refined, artificial, processed stuff into your body it is going to perform, recover, and feel better.
An Alternative to conventional squats
If you don't have the prerequisites to safely squat to depth you should give split squats a try. Splits squats not only decrease the amount of stress placed on the ankles
The Importance of Prerequisite Joint Function
Prerequisite: a thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist
With almost everything in life we need some form of prerequisites to proceed but when it comes to fitness there is little to no thought put into them. The problem is a lack of prerequisites puts you at an increased risk of pain, injuries, plateaus
