If your upper back feels chronically tight, your shoulder blades feel stuck, or you know you tend toward a slouch back and forward posture — this video is worth your time.

In this video, John Bl**er and Glen Gadwood at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI demonstrate a corrective breathing exercise designed to get air into the back of the ribcage — the posterior side of the body that most people never expand.

Here is why it matters: when the posterior ribcage is compressed and tight, the ribcage flattens. The ribcage needs to be rounded for the shoulder blades to glide and move efficiently around it. Without that expansion, shoulder blade mobility is restricted and postural compensation deepens over time.

The exercise is performed lying on your back with knees bent. A subtle reach toward the ceiling at about 3 out of 10 effort — not more. Inhale silently through the nose, exhale forcefully through the mouth. Because you are flat on your back, air is directed posteriorly into the back of the ribcage. At the end of the exhale, hold the side abs tension as you inhale — that tension is what maintains posterior ribcage control.

Two sets of ten. Less effort is better. This is corrective exercise for breathing mechanics and posture — one of the most foundational things you can do for shoulder blade mobility and upper back health.

Watch our video for the full coached demonstration. For personal trainers in green bay wi who work at this level of detail, our team at Function Thru Fitness is here.

We believe no one should have to live in pain or feel stuck in their body.

Most people who want to eat better are not stuck because of willpower. They are stuck because they have never actually worked through both sides of the decision.

In this video, John Bl**er at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI walks through a four-square written activity based on the five stages of behavior change — designed to move you from pre-contemplation into genuinely considering a nutrition change.

Here is how it works:
• Draw a large cross on a blank sheet of paper — four squares
• Pros of status quo: acknowledge what you enjoy about how you eat right now
• Cons of status quo: reduced energy, brain fog, inflammation, weight
• Cons of change: grocery trips, pantry cleanout, social dynamics, willpower
• Pros of change: more vegetables, reduced inflammation, weight loss, better energy

Working through all four in order is what shifts the focus. By the time you reach the pros of change, the resistance has already been named and worked through honestly.

Watch our video for the full walkthrough. These are exactly the kinds of questions nutritionist ask when starting a coaching relationship — and now you can work through them on your own first.

The hamstrings and glutes rarely get trained together the way they need to be — and the stability ball hamstring curl is one of the most effective exercises for building that posterior chain co-contraction that directly supports the knee and lower back.

In this video, Ben Ash at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI demonstrates the full movement.

The key points:
• Lie on your back, heels and lower calves on the ball, legs extended
• Drive the hips up into a bridge and hold that position throughout every rep
• Curl the ball toward the glutes by bending the knees, then extend back out under control — hips stay up the entire time
• The glutes hold the bridge while the hamstrings curl the ball — both working simultaneously is what makes this such an effective posterior chain exercise
• The return phase — extending the legs back out — is the eccentric demand where much of the strength development happens

This is a practical corrective exercise for posterior chain strength that applies to senior resistance exercises, athletic training, and knee health and stability work.

Watch our video for the full demonstration. For personal trainers in green bay wi who program posterior chain work with this level of purpose, our team at Function Thru Fitness is here.

If your lower back feels tight and stretching the lower back directly has not fully solved it — the hips are often where the restriction is actually coming from.

In this video, Chad Gossen at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI demonstrates a foam roller glute and hip stretch that addresses exactly this.

The setup is straightforward: sit on the foam roller, cross one ankle over the opposite knee in a figure-four position, place a hand on the floor for support, and lean toward the hip that needs to be stretched. Find the tight spot — the point of maximum tension in that hip.

Then hold there until the tension decreases by about 75% from when you started. That decrease is the release signal. You are not counting to 30 — you are waiting for the tissue to respond.

This is one of the most practical best stretch exercises for lower back pain relief
available, and a solid senior stretching exercises option for anyone working on hip and lower back mobility at home.

Watch our video for the full demonstration. For personal trainers in green bay wi
who address hip and lower back restrictions with this level of specificity, our team at Function Thru Fitness is here.

Most core training happens in one plane — forward and back. Rotational core strength is a different quality, and it is the one that transfers most directly into golf, athletic movement, and how the body actually functions.

In this video, John Bl**er at Function Thru Fitness in Green Bay, WI walks through the banded and cable core rotation with the setup and technique cues that make it effective:
• Athletic stance: feet hip-width apart, toes straight forward, knees over toes, slight knee bend, neutral pelvis
• Ground through the outside foot, abs tight, arms extended — rotate about 45 degrees moving the whole body as one unit
• Feel the opposite hip engaging during the rotation — that hip integration is part of the movement
• Control the return to the midline slowly — do not let it snap back
• Cable version: attachment set between the belly button and sternum; same movement, same 15 reps per side

For golfers, this is one of the most direct golf hip rotation and rotational core training exercises available — and it works equally well as a senior exercises for core strength movement for anyone building functional rotational capacity.
