Here's a fun little challenge!
Can you match the number of single leg calf raises compared to the average for your age and gender?🤔 (and yes you can have your hands on the wall!)

Calf strength is essential for activities like walking, running, and jumping and is important factor in keeping you injury free!🏃👊

The Hex dead lift vs the Barbell dead lift!🦵

👉The hex or trap bar dead lift allows for a more upright torso and increased knee bend. This reduces the load on the lower back muscles but increases the load on the quadriceps while still engaging the glutes.

👉The barbell dead lift places greater emphasis on the posterior chain such as the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back muscles resulting in less load on the quadriceps.

The barbell dead lift is technically challenging but the hex bar dead lift is often an easier way to start out if you haven't done any dead lifts before.
Which one do you prefer? 🤔

We're a big fan of the work from Dr Stacy Sims, here at Link Health and Fitness! 💪✨ Dr. Stacy Sims reminds us that women are not small men; our bodies require tailored training to thrive. Embrace strength training, high-intensity intervals, and functional movement to maintain muscle, boost metabolism, and enhance overall well-being. It's time to lift heavy, move with purpose, and celebrate the strength that comes with every stage of life!

Is this the end of fasting, cold plunges, and endless cardio? Dr Stacy Sims has been appearing on the biggest podcasts in the world, saying women have been doing it all wrong.
