A nice way to change things up. With this, the idea is to press into the box, wall, what ever surface, as hard as you can. Create tension from the floor, through hips and abs (core) into the rear foot. Then get creative. Here I demo a single arm row and a single arm tricep extension, but you can do anything. If you get creative, post it and tag me, I can always use new ideas to torture... I mean... help my clients 😁

Learn to use your shoulders. Start by just hanging, when you get the strength/control begin doing scapular pull ups, or shifting (NOT SWINGING) side to side. Move with shoulders and shoulder blades, don’t bend the elbows. Be in control. It will be a challenge, but hang in there! 😜

Knee pain during step ups? Pay attention to what it’s doing. Trying to keep your torso vertical jams your knee forward and puts your full weight the knee while in that poor position. Instead, use your glutes, let your hips hinge back, torso tips forward, knee stays in position. Recruit more muscles, ward off injury, have more strength, burn more calories and look like you know what you are doing! Now go rock it 😁

It’s not the jumping that gives you pain, or causes injury, it’s the landing. Learn how to land first by performing Depth Jumps. Step off the surface (start small, get higher) land with both feet, drive knees out, shoot butt back. Make this so ingrained in your nervous system you don’t have to think about it anymore, then you can get Fancy Nancy and start adding variety like at the end of the video.

Stop taking everything so seriously! You want to look and feel younger, get a little goofy once in a while, smile more, let go of the little things that don’t matter. I saw some quote, somewhere, that has always stuck with me about stressful problems. It went something like this...”Can you solve the problem? YES- then why stress it will be fixed soon. NO- then why stress there is nothing you can do about it anyways.” If you watched that video, in full, the first time and your upper cheek muscles didn’t make you go 😁 let me know in the comments, that’s A) really impressive, B) sort of a bummer and we need to work on your happiness, or C) you are my wife .happygilmore and your face was more of a 😳🤦‍♂️

Simple but effective. Have a high quality day!

I don’t love doing shirt off videos, but I sucked it up on this one so you can see what’s happening. Pay close attention to my shoulder blades. You can incorporate this into many movements that are making you shrug, but shouldn’t be. It’s all about your focus, don’t just go through the motions, be mindful of what you are trying to accomplish and what your body is actually doing.

The bar is just so you have a better visual, try to balance with out holding something if possible. The MAIN goal here is to get your knee as high as possible and keep it there. Get the leg as straight as you can with out losing elevation. Go slow, flex quad hard, fight for every inch you can, with out moving your body. This is great to get some quad work in when you have knee issues holding you back from squatting, lunging, etc. It will also help you develop better strength at your End Range of Motion which is important for reducing your chance of injury in the future.

Hard Core! With this one your position is the priority, set it up and hold it at all cost. You NEED a heavy weight. Move it slow. It is NOT about going far. Move weight away from body, pause, move it back. Don’t swing it. Create as much tension through whole body as possible. Then use your core the same way in almost every other exercise too!

Ball Slams are amazing! The number one benefit I see when having my clients perform slams, is stress relief. Sometimes it just feels good to smash something on the ground as hard as possible. Why not do that and get the added benefit of elevating your heart rate and generating more power. FIRST TWO REPS ON VIDEO- don’t reach ball behind your head, not great for shoulders/ elbows and you will lose a lot of power. Don’t try to be gentle, FU***NG SMASH IT! Middle Two Reps- hold core tight, smash ball down as hard as possible without losing body position. FINAL TWO REPS - use full body, as much power as possible, try and break that ball! Pick a version and try it😁. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Do not use a ball that bounces unless you love toothless smiles and sideways noses. I got my slam balls from rogue fitness.com they are not expensive and have held up very well... rogue didn’t even pay me to say that 😁
