When it hurts — do something anyway.

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

Don't stop.

More often than not, you can do something.

The sensation of pain isn’t an automatic hall pass and a reason to sit and do nothing.
It’s a sign to adjust.

If you woke up in pain or started training and just don't feel quite right, try this:

  • Lighten the load.​
    Not just lighter — better. Slow it down. Move with control. Create tension so that light weight feels heavy.
  • Shorten the range.​
    If a certain part of the movement hurts, change it up.
    Squat to a box. Do a floor press instead of a bench press. Lower the step height. Find a version that works for you.
  • Slow down.​
    Fast, sloppy movement usually makes things worse.
    Take your time. Own each rep.
  • Decrease the volume.​
    If 15 reps are too much, do 10.
    If 4 rounds feel rough, do 3.
    You’re not “cutting corners.” You’re training smart.

The goal on these days isn’t to push through pain — it’s to keep the habit alive. It's to encourage both your mind and your body that it can still do work and it will be ok.
Get as much or your workout in as you can, check the box, and move on.

If you try all that and you still feel like crap, then walk away.
Take this opportunity to do something else completely. Go for a walk, read a book, call a friend, or take a long bath. Do something that fills your tank and makes you feel GOOD!

Then come back next time and try again.

JUST. KEEP. MOVING!

I love training. I love training hard. I love to challenge my body and push the limits. I think you should too. I also think there’s a better way to do it. I’ve spent 20 years working as a trainer/coach. 20 years of getting people started. 20 years of helping people navigate injury. I’ve dedicated my life to watching people learn, grow, and get strong AF. Every single person I’ve had the pleasure to work with has left a lasting impact on me and how I train. I do this because I love it. I do this because I want YOU to love it just as much.

Everybody wants results yesterday. Fast fixes. Six-week programs. Thirty-day challenges. The promise that if you just work hard enough for a short enough period of time, you’ll finally reach the finish line. But here’s the thing: there is no finish line. Real health. Real strength. Feeling good in your body. Being able to pick up your kids, travel, get off the floor, carry your groceries, hike, play, and do the things you want to do as you get older. That’s a lifetime project. Guess what?...

Today, Tovah and I toured the local middle school for our son. Our little boy is not so little anymore and honestly, it stopped me in my tracks. Twelve years ago, we were bringing him home from the hospital.Now we’re walking hallways seeing all these grown up kids, talking schedules, lockers and wondering how we got here so quickly. It’s wild! People say it all the time, but you don’t really feel it until you’re standing in it:The days are long. The years are short. I talk to women every...

Many women often tell a similar story:“My back hurts.”“I know my core is weak.”“I need to strengthen my abs.” But here’s the truth most people don’t hear:It’s not always your core.More often than not, your legs just aren’t strong enough. When your leg muscles are underdeveloped (think glutes, quads, and hamstrings) they cannot support your structure. This results in your body has to borrow stability from somewhere else. Usually that “somewhere” is your lower back or your pelvic floor.And that...
