I’ll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of home workouts. Like many of you, I prefer to be in a gym, amidst the muscles, loud music, sweat, and unlimited equipment. That is my happy place. The pandemic forced all of us outside of our comfort zones, myself included. I’m a big believer in turning …
I’ve never been one for dogma, particularly the ones in strength training, diet, and Pilates communities. It has a way of alienating people, and I find that everyone has a personal right to ask question and determine what works best for them. In Pilates in particular, there are some beliefs or cues that are passed down from teacher to student …
If you’re used to lifting weights or being outdoors for your fitness, this time of social distancing can feel like a physical and emotional unraveling of sorts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You spent months building a routine, you were *just* starting to get consistent…and now you’re a responsible citizen who stays the f*ck inside, for your safety and that of others. It’s unclear …
When you’re selecting a new training program or workout to follow, are you looking at those options with a critical eye? Be honest! The reality is, there is a lot of garbage out there regarding fitness and strength training programs. Â The barrier to entry in the fitness space is nearly invisbile as literally anyone can post “expert” or “trainer” on …
I’d be willing to bet that you don’t give your recovery as much thought as the rest of your workouts. Maybe you attend a free outdoor yoga class here and there (San Diego is full of them). Or, perhaps you are diligent about a half-ass foam rolling session at the end of each workout (You know who you are). Nodding …
To the untrained eye, the Rollup appears to be one giant sit-up requiring the kind of core strength one can only dream of. But the truth is, this famous Pilates exercise has less to do with your abdominals and a lot more to do with your back flexibility. This is often the Roll-up can feel extremely difficult even to the …
Note: This post is a reiteration of an article in the #21DaysMvtMob. Get more like this when you sign up & improve your squat, deadlift, overhead press, and pull-up! The barbell bench press is one of those lifts that IÂ want to love but dread training. A previous shoulder injury and nagging pain that went on for years has made me …
There’s a lot that can go wrong when you have poor posture, and I’m not just talking about looking like the hunchback of Notre Dame. If you’re a meathead like me, crappy posture makes lifting a heck of a lot harder by creating: Neck pain brought on by excessive forward head position Back pain due to poor spinal mobility Stiff, …
The day I discovered a stretch mark on my body was the day I gave up wearing shorts. For years. I was in high school at the time, which is another way of saying I was incredibly insecure, still growing into my body, and wondering if my parents were really out to ruin my life. Ah, what a wonderful time …
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 …
