Many of you know I suffered a shoulder injury a few years back and doubted if I would ever do pull-ups and chin-ups again. I experienced pain, and it really threw me off. I had to skip doing many of the exercises I loved, including pull-ups. Recovery took time, and a visit to the physical therapist gave me a new perspective and hope. Perfect timing. I added a few more exercises and stayed with them.

Every time I thought I was getting closer to feeling normal, I would have a setback, reminding me of the importance of patience. To regain full strength, mobility, and the ability to do pull-ups again, I was reminded of the power our minds and bodies can have when we take care of them and persist.

I’m going to tag the FLEX GRIPS down below as they were game changers this past year. I have fallen in love with pull-ups again and have regained my GRIP! Something so simple as the right tool can make all the difference. Pull-ups are more than just an exercise for me; they’re proof of my resilience and grace under pressure.

Studies have shown that grip strength is a strong predictor of overall health and longevity. Here are a few key facts:

1. Indicator of Vitality: Research links grip strength to cardiovascular health, metabolic function, and reduced risk of conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. A strong grip often reflects overall muscle health, which supports metabolic and physical resilience.

2. Predictor of Longevity: Studies, such as those from the Lancet and Journal of Gerontology, found that weaker grip strength is associated with a higher risk of mortality, especially among older adults. Each 5 kg decrease in grip strength has been linked to a 16% increased risk of all-cause mortality.

3. Mobility and Independence: Grip strength is crucial for maintaining independence in older age, as it’s essential for everyday tasks like lifting, carrying, and balancing. Maintaining a strong grip supports mobility and quality of life well into later years.

Incorporating grip-strengthening exercises, such as dead hangs, farmer’s carries, and free-weight training, into your routine can be a powerful investment not just for physical fitness but also for long-term health and longevity.

I really fell in love with yoga!

While working as a full time trainer at Snowcreek Athletic Club years back, I decided to try a yoga class on my day off. I will never forget my first yoga class with Kelly Doyle (McCoy). Such a sweet soul and amazing yoga leader. We did our class in the gym. The same gym I would train clients of all levels of fitness. I fell in love with the practice and learned it was much more than a stretching class. Yoga primes the body for weight lifting and any other activity you can imagine. It makes you better at knowing your body and it builds the mind muscle for razor-like focus. If you find yourself running from, through, and towards your workouts with a feeling of dread, you most likely have lost touch with your body. I am certified in level 1 and level 2 YOGAFIT. I love Beth Shaw’s approach to yoga. It was this science based format that made a difference for me. It is called the 3 mountain format. A beginning, middle, and end. Taking this age old practice of yoga and modernizing it with the knowledge of today. Yoga is not a religion. I teach classes to all levels of athletes (you are an athlete) and I include it with all my training clients. When my clients keep up a regular yoga practice along with training, the biggest transformations take place. The kind of transformations that stick. I have lead clients from yoga class to the weight room, from the weight room to yoga class. I love teaching all levels but really have a heart for the newbies. It’s exciting to have a new student in class. I have had students come back years later and tell me they could never find a class like mine. Find your flow, your style, but give yoga a fair chance. You will never know unless you try! -Kathy D
