I was asked the other day if I spend "all my time" mobilizing. That sounds miserable. I like to workout, not mobilize. However, I understand that in order to continue training the way I like to train and in order to help keep injuries from creeping up and preventing me from training, I need to stay on top of my "feel good stuff" as I like to call it. What do I do? I have a series of dynamic stretches that I do before every single workout, 5 minutes of targeted rehab during the workout that varies depending on what structures need it, and a 5 minute routine before bed that has become one of my favorite things to look forward to. That's about 15 minutes on training days and 5 minutes on rest days. Of course, when I have an active injury going on I might spend a bit more time treating it, but not much more. You see, when you know EXACTLY WHAT you need to work on and you know EXACTLY HOW you need to work on it, you don't need to spend all your time just mobilizing. This is the beauty of an individualized plan based on a thorough assessment and built with YOU and YOUR LIFE in mind. You don't waste time doing what Suzie over there is doing. You do what YOU need to do in order to get the results that YOU want to get. Nothing more. 🔻Need help? I have one spot open in my 1:1 Intensive.🔻If this is you:
Then you are who I'm looking for! I'm now accepting applications for The 1:1 Intensive. If I think we would be a good fit, I'll set up a call to dig a little deeper. Thing is, I don't want you in this program unless it's perfect for you!! What did we learn on IG?Movement is medicine. Keep moving! How to strip the barbell after deadlifts. Save this Run/Squat workout. There are no "wrong" exercises. How to do romanian deadlifts. 3 things every beginner should focus on. Recap:
I realize you have a choice when it comes to who you allow in your inbox. Thank you for choosing me. -Ty |
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...
