There’s Strength in Numbers

Team workouts and competitions are a great way to take your mind off of “the workout” while having some fun.  Today our dynamic warm-up included a game we call “Slaps.”  Everyone starts at the top of a push-up (or bear crawl) position.  On go, you’re trying to tag anyone you can before they tag you.

Jump To It!

Did you set some resolutions for 2016?  Remember, when it comes to fitness, something is better than nothing.  Give yourself time to work back into it.  Have a plan, and even more importantly, an accountability partner.  Too many people jump back in thinking they can pick right up where they left off, get extremely sore, […]

Demolished…

Man, sometimes a workout looks simple and you think it should fly by pretty fast, and then for whatever reason, the exercise combo’s create this horrific elixir of pain that just smack you sideways.  My wife absolutely crushed me on this workout. Range of Motion (ROM) Drills.  Really take the time to warm yourself up. […]
