in - out - up - down
Doing a bent row correctly means that you are engaging your core and releasing your traps. Often times you’ll see someone rocking or twisting when doing a bent row and that’s not what you want.

Before you barge into the finale of this holiday season with total abandon from your healthy lifestyle, give yourself 10 minutes. Put your glutes to the test and fire up those super metabolic muscles that will knock the abandon right out of you. It’s silly to expect that our clients won’t indulge a bit this time […]

Sumo Squats: Feet wide and toes turned slightly outward. Make sure to keep your weight on your heels and squeeze your bum as you stand.

How coordinated are you? Many people assume they have zero coordination, when in reality they may just be a little rusty. Just as it’s important for babies to develop coordinated movement, it’s just as important for adults to continue to hone it. It will help keep you sharp, which helps keep you young;) Here is an alternating […]
