Try this cue!

Instead of hips back, think about actively pulling yourself down into your squat. Allow your knees to come forward, and ankles bend into dorsiflexion.

Always remember that not every squat needs to look the same. This is just one cue that might help unlock squats for you!

3 exercises I like to use with clients who always feel tight through their posterior hips.

Not just to “stretch” it out, but to open up some range, add elasticity, and build control before loading it with exercises like RDLs and squats.

Chugging OJ outta the bottle after running 26km hits good!

one of the most common questions I get from women I coach!

1. Try a mixed grip
2. Continue to expose yourself to the challenging weight in a way that you can manage
3. Try tools like chalk (if possible) or a women’s bar (narrower diameter)
4. Use straps as an option, but continue to work on grip strength

Should you be doing supersets?

Here are a few reasons I’ll use them:

1. Time efficiency
2. Pairing exercises that complement each other
3. Clients personal preference

There’s always a more “optimal” way to train on paper. But if your workouts fit your schedule and you actually enjoy the structure or flow of them, you’re way more likely to stick with it. And that’s what matters most for the majority of my clients.

And in case you didn’t know! A superset is traditionally two exercises done back to back with little to no rest. But sometimes I’ll still add rest between them depending on the desired goal, or outcome.

I’m continually reminded of how important it is to have variety in how we move our bodies. Not just for our physical health, but for our mental health. There’s actually research now showing that it’s not just how much you exercise, but how many different ways you move that matters. People who move in more varied ways tend to have better long term health outcomes, independent of total volume (how much you’re moving).

And it makes sense when you think about it. Different types of movement support different systems in the body, cardiovascular health, strength, bone health, coordination, mobility, and even skill development. But a huge piece of this that I think often gets overlooked is the social side of group movement, or team activities. It helps us connect with other people, and with our environment.

It can’t just one thing! It’s not just strength training, pilates, running, or yoga. It’s having a few different things in your life that support each other, that keep you engaged, and wanted to come back to it again and again.

Variety doesn’t take away from your progress, it’s a big part of what allows you to keep at the things that bring your joy, long term.

I hope this inspires you to want to try new things this season 💚

I was skeptical……

but I can confidently say that I’m a HR arm band monitor believer now!

It’s been A LOT more comfortable to wear, especially on long runs. I will say that the data is typically a few seconds slower to register any changes within my HR. Making what I think, would be more room for skewed data if you’re doing lots of high intensity, shorter intervals within your training. But in that instance, I don’t think HR should be your only metric for intensity, pace, etc.

But for the majority of my runs (or what I like to use HR data for) wouldn’t be impacted by this delay. Making, what I think would be a great option for people who don’t like the feeling of a chest band. But want more accurate data than a watch/wrist based data.

Fun fact: arm band HR monitors actually use the same optical tech as your wrist watch. But because they sit higher up on your arm (with better blood flow + less movement), they tend to give you more consistent and accurate readings.
