💪You don't grow stronger during your workouts.

You grow stronger BETWEEN them. ➡️🙌⬅️

Recovery isn't a reward - it's a requirement!

And, when done right, it can be your secret weapon for better performance, fewer injuries, and consistent progress. 🔥

✅ 🧘‍♀️Active rest – Gentle movement like walking, mobility flows, or a recovery ride keeps blood flowing without overloading your system.
✅ 😴Quality sleep – This is where your body does the real rebuilding. Aim for 7–9 hours.
✅ 💧🍗🥦Hydration & nutrient timing – Fuel your body post-workout with water, electrolytes, and whole foods.
✅ 🧠Stress management – Prioritize downtime, breathing, or good sleep hygiene.

Let recovery be your secret weapon. What's your favorite way to recover?

🌞Summertime means lots of road trips and vacays, which can lead to tight hip and stiff back from long flights ✈️ or car rides 🚗

Don’t skip your stretches while traveling!

Try these...

1️⃣ SEATED FIGURE FOUR
Sitting on the edge of a chair or your car seat, cross one ankle over the other knee, sit up nice and tall, and lean your trunk forward at the hip. You can change it up a bit by turning your trunk towards your knee before leaning, or even towards your foot. You should feel this in your bum and the outside of your hip.

2️⃣ STANDING HIP FLEXOR STRETCH
Holding on to something for balance, take a big step forward in a lunge stance, tuck your hips and drive your belt buckle forward while you sink your hips down. You should feel this in the front of your back leg.

3️⃣ SHOULDER OPENER
Place your hands on a wall or counter, walk your feet back about an arm's distance away, and lean your trunk forward bringing your chest towards the floor. You should feel this in both shoulders and even in your mid-back.

Just a few minutes a day can keep your body moving well and feeling great — no matter where the road takes you. 💪🧘‍♀️

Looking to build strength in your glutes? Good plan: the glutes are the strongest muscles in your body (or they should be), and they are responsible for your drive to push your body up/forward. Squats and Deadlifts are the king of overall strength, but don’t sleep on the finishing exercise of using bands or a cable to focus on that end range extension. Kicking slightly to the side while turning your foot also gets the deeper hip rotators. Working one leg at a time can identify where you might be favoring one side over another, and you get the added bonus of working on your stability and balance on your stance leg. Win/win. Get kicking!

When it comes to building strength and resilience in the legs there are a couple areas that tend to get overlooked in the gym, and its those overlooked areas that can show up as problems when you get running or moving over inclined ground. Add onto your usual straight legged heel raises with these two exercises to target the deep calf muscles and the front of your shins for overall ankle strength.

First do the bent knee raise to target the soleus muscle: this one lives deeper in your calf and is responsible for greater drive off your feet when your knees are bent, which is running, climbing stairs or hills, etc.

Then turn around and lean against the wall to work a greater range of motion as you pull your toes up toward your face. This works the shin muscle or Anterior Tibialis, and keeps you from dragging your feet and tripping over things. Think higher reps for these exercises vs heavy loads as these muscles are designed to carry you around all day. If you can bang out 30-40 reps of these, see how your muscles feel the next day!

Talk about a great exercise for Jiu Jitsu! The half kneeling windmill will work the mobility of your shoulder and trunk as well as building strength and stability in those awkward transitional positions of scrambling, framing, and sh*****ng away from your opponent.

Let’s face it, most of those tweaks and strains occur when we get twisted into positions that our bodies aren’t used to being in. SO start easy with this exercise, focusing on the overhead brace and slowly sliding your hand down your rear leg as you reach the floor and slowly control the movement coming back up. Start light with the weight and gradually over time you will be able to get your elbow closer to the floor, getting more bend in your trunk and mobility in your shoulders. Control the position. Own the position. Then progress the position.

If you've tried everything for shoulder pain and nothing's working, it might be time to stop treating the shoulder. 😳

Your thoracic spine, rib cage, and fascia play a huge role in how your shoulder feels and moves - and they are often overlooked. 🧐

Manual assessments reveal what imaging can't. 🩻

After loosening the joints in the foot, learn to regain control of those underused muscles.
Your feet were designed to mold and bend to fit the different terrains we encounter. Walking on flat concrete paths wrapped up in supportive shoes doesn’t allow those muscles to do what they were designed to do. Let’s fix that with these drills!

Take a half foam roll or roll up a towel length wise and stand on it like a balance beam. Use your hands to help with balance as needed. Let your foot bend over the roll and shift your weight around to feel different muscles start to move around.

Now turn the other way and stand on the roll with your toes on it. Try to “grab” the roll with your toes like eagle talons and try to lift your heels off the floor. Feel the tiny muscles in your feet getting to work.

Keep practicing these exercises daily and watch your foot pain disappear as well as improved balance and ability to jump and land.
