I’ve been trying to focus a lot on mobility with my lower body training in recent months.

My hips and back hurt all the time from wrestling.

And I am old.

As we get older, it becomes even more important to work on mobility so that we can still move and feel like we did when we were younger.

Here’s a drop set of Bulgarian Split Squats with front foot elevation.

I’m anchoring at the rack so that I don’t have to focus as much on stabilization.

The elevated front foot allows for a deeper stretch at the bottom for the back leg/hip. Trying to get a quick pause at the bottom stretch also.

After your set with weight, just drop the weight and continue with bodyweight til you can’t do anymore.

My wife, Aim to Capture - Photography, just did my pro wrestling promo pics this week.

She does such awesome work, and has done promo pics for many of the wrestlers at both MCW Pro Wrestling and EWA Pro Wrestling, and can be found shooting ringside at most of their shows.

Check out her stuff on here and on her IG .to.capture

The beaches out here on the Emerald Coast are amazing. Don’t know why it took me so long to get out here.

Went grocery shopping and there’s a Gold’s nearby, so I’ve been able to get back into a decent routine with meals and workouts on this vacation.

I feel a lot better now. As you get older, you can definitely feel the difference that garbage food, and lack of workouts make.

It also makes it way easier to get back into your routine when you get home.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Turned 47 yesterday, and I’m spending the week in Vegas to watch a bunch of wrestling.

Why?

Because I want to.

Don’t wait til it’s too late to do the things you want to do in life.

None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow.

It can all be over in a second.

I know that I’m going to make sure that I get to do what I want, and have the experiences I want before this is all over.

I don’t mean to be completely reckless. Still take care of your obligations and responsibilities.

But if you’re saying -

“We’ll do it next year”

“I’ll go there when I’m retired”

“I’m too busy for that”

Keep in mind that the time to do those things may never come for you if you keep putting it off.

So, if something is really important to you, then do it.

I’m 47 years old, trying to learn how to be a pro wrestler. Because I love it and I really want to be able to do it.

So, I’m doing it.

If I can do that, you can go book that trip that you’ve been wanting to take.

You might not have another chance.

So, just do it.

Had to change the workout on the fly because we ended up with a baby attachment.

Learning to be flexible with your workouts and exercise selection is one thing that helps maintain overall consistency.

Even if you’re not hitting what was planned, you’re still doing something.

And getting something in is generally better than skipping it completely.

I discovered my new favorite curl variation on the functional trainer.

You get to work arms, AND sit in a deep squat position.

We all should be sitting in a deep squat way more often than we do.

We sit in chairs and in cars all day. It’s not that great for you to sit all the time.

Sitting in chairs all the time end up making your hips and core weaker, and makes the muscles in your hips and foot/ankle complex to shorten and get tighter. And your lower back ends up compensating, which can lead to back pain.

Sitting in a deep squat helps with hip and ankle mobility; which can help with back pain; it can improve digestive health; and it helps your range of motion when you actually doing squats during your workout.

If you don’t want to do the curls, at least sit in a deep squat for a few minutes every day.

Your back will thank you.

A lot of times, the actual workout isn't what's most important.

One of the best things about being a trainer is the personal relationships that you build with clients over time.

You get to know them; become a person for them to vent to and confide in; and become a source of support and encouragement when they need it.

It’s one of the most rewarding things about this job for me.

One of my clients is a special needs client. So, she’s had a tougher life than most of us because of it.

Her mom has been going through some serious health issues, and when I asked how her mom was doing at our session this week, she replied “I can’t believe that this is the year that I’m going to lose one of my parents”, and she because pretty distraught and teary.

I was heartbroken for her, and I got a little teary as well, but I knew that I had to do whatever I could to bring her up.

I did my best to lighten the mood by talking about wrestling (we’re both huge pro wrestling fans), the TV shows that we both like, and just tried to make her laugh as much as I could for the rest of the workout.

And we ended the session with her smiling and laughing, with her spirits up.

Helping people to get in shape, and eat well is awesome, and rewarding in itself.

But helping people just feel better - in whatever way that they need it - is the most rewarding part of it for me.

Change is automatic.

Progress is not.

Change is inevitable in life.

The world and society are changing for better or worse whether we like it or not.

Technological advances change the way that we work and interact.

And our bodies are inevitably getting older, and changing for better or worse.

But change doesn’t always mean progress.

Progress is the result of being intentional. It comes from actively and consciously pursuing what is important and meaningful to us.

Progress makes us feel happy and alive because we are working towards what we actually want, rather than letting life just happen to us.

We’re all getting older, and the time is just going to continue to pass.

And our bodies will definitely change as we age.

We can either just let it happen - Let ourselves get fatter, feeling like we have less energy, and dealing with back pain.

Or, we can decide that we want to make progress in the right direction - get fit and healthy, have more energy, and like how we look in the mirror in our old(er) age.

It all comes from making a decision.

Just remember - Change is automatic, but progress is not.

Making a slight adjustment to an exercise can make it feel way more effective.

Here’s a tweak to make your skullcrushers better.

Give it a shot, and let me know if you need any help.

I’m not currently taking on any additional in-person clients at the moment, but shoot me a message if you’d like to get on the wait list.

But I am still taking on clients for online coaching. If you’re interested, let me know and we’ll see how I can help you out!
