Utilizing accommodating resistance with unilateral kettlebell RDLs. Saw this idea of another coach and was immediately intrigued as I love programming lower system unilateral KB work due to its high threshold of comfort I find it provides to the client. In my opinion this is a huge factor in our exercise selection for two reasons...
•
•
First, by placing the client in an environment of stability and control (in other words a position where the body feels SAFE) we’re able to elicit the proper neurological response to the stress or load we’re applying to the body as a whole or a particular system.
•
•
Secondly, many of these exercises provide little resistance at the top of the movement. This limits the overall loading at the segment of the movement thus lowering the clients ability to really focus on maintaining and strong contraction in the areas of target. The banded resistance aids in this factor.

Single leg stability!!!! 2-3 sets of 10 switches, maintain arch support and proper ankle/knee/hip alignment. Also a great exercise for core strength!!

Age ain’t nothing but a number 😤💪🏼🏋🏻‍♀️. -

One of the classic myths about weightlifting is that it makes you “bulky.” False. An increase and EXCESS of ones caloric intake with weightlifting will help an individual gain some lean body mass. Truth. So why should you strength train? And why is it especially important for those whom fall into the aging portion of our population? -

For starters let’s briefly list some benefits of strength training. ➡️Increased metabolism
➡️Improved balance
➡️Chronic disease management/ prevention
➡️Improved thinking skills
➡️Protects bone and muscle mass health -

All of these seem fairly important right? But let’s think about them in terms of as we age. Our bodies naturally slow down as the years go by. Key term being NATURAL. This may sound controversial and I hate to break it to you all but WE ARE DYING. Everyone of us, at a natural pace if we’re so lucky. -

Now just because our bodies are slowly degenerating doesn’t mean that we can’t and shouldn’t be doing things to combat the effects of aging. Strength training (and yes some moderate aerobic exercise) is how we do this. By loading the body we’re encouraging new lean body mass growth, preventing the decrease in muscle tissue and bone density as we age. Some studies have shown it to even sharpen cognitive skills in older adults. -

I LOVE this movement as a preface to hip dominant lifts like variations of the deadlift and KB swings. Not only does it allow us to train core stability, but it allows us to focus on simultaneous contraction of gluteal and quadriceps groups, effectively helping the client/patient work on proper hip extension. If we’re going to spend the time working the hip hinge, it’s important to talk about and train the extension aspect of any hinging exercise.

There’s no substitution for preparation with an emphasis/attention to focusing on the details. It’s the little things that separate us all.

Make time for the essentials. Time dedicated to mobility is invaluable. You simply CAN NOT get better without it.

We utilize bands to provide us with a lot of different stimuli throughout the course of a program design. Here’s one you maybe haven’t seen yet. .
Active feet are in many ways the first step (no pun intended) to achieving proper functionality, strength, and stability through the kinetic chain in complexes such as the ANKLES, KNEES, HIPS, as well as the LUMBO-PELVIC and lower THORACIC REGIONS. Creating an active foot begins with activating your arches by directing load into the big toe and gripping the ground beneath you. Placing a light band around the big toe as it is anchored laterally give the client the ability to really focus on stabilizing the toe and driving it into the floor. This helps to activate the arch of the foot, providing a more stable ankle position. .
If you struggle with ankle stability, knee collapse in your squat, or you find that your hips are “tight” or winking in your squat, assess your ankle mobility and stability!!! Then seriously TRY this out and let us know how you do!

The details are what separate those who achieve life-long change, and those who enjoy only temporary successes. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Want your progress and hard work to last for the long haul? Then do things the only way, the right way. 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼
