How to Add Functional Movement Training to Your Workout Program
Functional Fitness: Train for Life, Not Just the Gym
Functional fitness goes beyond just looking good or lifting heavy—it’s about training your body to move better in everyday life. By focusing on movements that mimic real-world tasks, functional exercises help build strength, stability, balance, and mobility. These types of workouts are designed to make activities like bending, lifting, or carrying easier, reducing your risk of injury and improving your overall quality of life.
If you’re looking to elevate your workout routine, adding exercises like the Turkish get-up, farmer’s carry, and Pallof press can enhance your core stability, balance, and total-body strength. Functional training is the perfect way to bridge the gap between gym workouts and the physical demands of daily living.
How to Manage Stress and Stay Consistent at the Gym
Feeling stressed, unmotivated, or too busy to work out? You’re not alone! In this post, we break down simple strategies to manage stress and still get to the gym—because sometimes, even a quick 10-minute workout can make all the difference. Whether it’s finding time, shifting your mindset, or using exercise to boost your mood, these tips will help you stay consistent, no matter what life throws at you.
Fitness Progression: Treat Your Routine Like a Volume Knob, Not a Light Switch
Embarking on a fitness journey can often feel like flipping a switch, going from inactive to intense workouts overnight. However, adopting a gradual approach akin to adjusting a volume knob can lead to more sustainable results and minimize the risk of burnout. Gradual progression reduces the risk of injury, fosters sustainable habits, and offers psychological benefits, ensuring long-term success in your fitness endeavors. Embrace incremental changes and enjoy the journey toward a healthier, stronger you.
Beginners guide to fitness
As a beginner in the world of fitness, navigating the various exercises, machines, and routines at the gym can be overwhelming. Personal training offers numerous benefits to help beginners achieve their fitness goals. From customized workout plans and proper technique instruction to accountability, education, and quicker results, a personal trainer can provide the guidance and support needed for a successful fitness journey.
Win The Day
The post-holiday hangover is real, but it’s an opportunity to build mental fortitude. Emphasizing sustainability in your fitness routine and diet is crucial. Enjoy holidays in moderation to maintain your routine. Start your day with small wins, like waking up on time and tossing leftover junk food to get back on track. Stay focused with a to-do list, hydrate, and make working out non-negotiable. Winning your day leads to winning your week and building habits that help you enjoy holidays without falling off track.

Game Changers
Game Changers on Netflix
Is it true? Should I give up on meat?
If you haven’t seen Game Changers on Netflix I would encourage taking the time to watch it. The only thing I ask is that you keep in mind that this video is not perfect and is pushing for a certain narrative. This is not pier reviewed as scientifically proven and some if not all of the writers and film makers have stake in vegan and/or vegetarian products. Having said that I think it’s a great video to get you thinking a bit differently about the average American diet.
