Massage therapist: “Just relax, and breath.” Me through gritted teeth: “I am breathing!” Thirty minutes into my first massage (yes, the first one ever) and I was still biting my lip. Not only did my body feel like it was run over by a Mack truck, but I was struggling to relax and get in that zen state that everyone …
For years, I dedicated 90% of my workouts to cardio. I ran 2-6 miles as early as 5:30am several times a week, and finished the day with an evening spin class. Even on days I focused on strength training, I still ended the workout with a run on the treadmill. Unlike most cardio bunnies, my aggressive cardio sessions were driven …
A smart guy once said “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and glute building work in all of Trish’s programs.” That smart guy was Benjamin Franklin. Let’s tip our hat to the man; he was way ahead of his time. 😉 Now before we get balls deep into this post, be sure to read …
You want to build the perfect booty? Of course you do. No one ever wrote a song about a small ass! Or at least, that’s how the saying goes. In case you missed Part 1, we talked about why glute specific training is necessary (because in reality, it’s about more than aesthetics). So without further ado, let’s get into this; …
Guys, I have a confession. I’m booty obsessed. I’m always looking for ways to build dat ass. It’s not just because I’m Brazilian but because strong, powerful butts can truly transform how we move and perform. Unfortunately, our sedentary lifestyle has created more “dead ass” than bootylicious backsides. Yet, I’m determined to Make America Booty-ful Again. Why train the glutes? …
We know that trainers and coaches help people achieve a specific fitness goal, are generally fit themselves, and maybe, just maybe, they can tell you exactly how to lose that jiggle under your arms once and for all! But what the heck is the difference? This is a good question….but also the wrong question to ask because it really doesn’t …
This week’s #FormFix shines its spotlight on the shoulder bridge. A well-known exercise in the Pilates repertoire, the shoulder bridge appears in other variations such as the basic glute bridge and hip thruster. So if you’re a meathead, this little #FormFix tip is for you too! What’s so badass about the shoulder bridge? Well it does double duty: Lengthens and stretches …
Call me vain but there’s nothing I love more then some well-shaped arms and a strong back when I’m cruising through San Diego in a sleeveless tee. However, a nice looking upper body is useless if you don’t have any strength to go with it, which is why I’m a die-hard push-up fan. For those struggling with the Pilates push-up, here’s …
Pointing to a small crease in her underarm a woman asked “How do I get rid of this?” I inched closer to see what she was pointing at. “Here,” she pointed again. “This piece of fat right below my armpit. How do I make that go away?” Health magazines and social media “trainers” have us all conditioned to believe that …
“Torch belly fat.” “Trigger that after burn with these three movements.” “Tone up without getting bulky.” Sound familiar? These are your typical, run-of-the-mill promises made by women’s magazines, personal trainers and misinformed Kardashian followers. Beneath these false promises are negative and predatory connotations that have troubled coaches for years. They prey on women’s fears and body image issues. They imply …
