STRENGTH TRAINING: Like most of you, I see people running in my neighborhood all the time. It’s probably the first thing people think of when they want to “get in shape” and improve their relationship with Health. There are some benefits to running and I don’t mean to discourage you from running, however, we got it wrong when our society decided running should be the default go to thing to improve Health outcomes. As an exercise scientist, nutritionist, and sports chiropractor who has been a Health coach for nearly three decades, I would say that strength training should be the one thing that every teenager, housewife, computer programmer, and senior citizen should be incorporating because it offers far more Health benefits.

Strength training -

1. Increases functional strength for work and daily activities
2. Increases coordination and reduces risk of falls
3. Improves fast twitch recruitment and reaction time to help with things like catching and tripping
4. Enhances balance for slippery and uneven terrain
5. Burns muscle glycogen and allows muscles to balance blood sugar as nature intended
6. Enhances insulin sensitivity and improves or eliminates type 2 diabetes
7. Increases muscle mass and elevates metabolism
8. Improves cognitive health and decreases depression
9. Increases bone density and reduces fracture risk
10. Improves posture and reduces anterior vertebral fractures (dowager’s hump)
11. Enhances joint stability and reduces risk of injury
12. Improves hormone regulation
13. Improves respiration because posture Is better
14. Enhances confidence and the ability to stand your ground and persevere when life gets challenging

Don’t let the rows of cardiovascular equipment at the front of the gym fool you. The strength training equipment is where the real results are and where you will improve your relationship with Health.

NECK EXERCISES: Research has shown anterior neck exercises can be helpful when recovering from conditions like cervicogenic vertigo, concussion, and whiplash injuries. They can even reduce the chance of getting a concussion by strengthening and improving the coordination of the muscles that support the head. How you do them really matters though so let’s have a quick chat about the ins and outs of neck exercises so you can so you can be your best 🥇✨
