Stronger hips = better trail running.

This banded drill trains the stance leg to resist the knee collapsing inward, which forces the hip to work harder and keeps the pelvis level, which is exactly what you need on uneven terrain.

When your hip endurance improves, you’ll reduce excessive hip drop, stay more stable on climbs/descents, and maintain better form over long distances.

Prescription: 3 sets of 20–25 reps, 1–2x per week.

This is the first video in our trail-runner training series in collaboration with Run Bum Race so keep an eye out for more strength tips for trail runners to come!

In this video, I walk you through a safe jumping progression so you know exactly where to start and how to build up. If you have osteoporosis, be sure to consult your doctor first, but this progression is helpful for anyone with osteopenia, early bone loss, or anyone who wants to prevent it. If you want stronger bones, it’s time to start jumping!

Congrats to Alyssa on completing her first marathon! We always say “getting to the starting line is the hardest part”! But that is what we do! 13 weeks out from the race Alyssa was having a hard time getting through an 11 mile run. But with a lot of work and a positive attitude she made it to the starting line and crushed it! 🏃🏼‍♀️🙌🏻💪🏻

🏃‍♂️ Stop overthinking your running shoes — here’s how to actually pick the right pair.

People ask me all the time, “What’s the best running shoe out there?”👟

Honestly — for most runners, the best shoe is the one that feels the most comfortable when you actually go for a short run in it. Don’t get too caught up in all the specs — stack height, drop, stability, foam type, all that.

Just lace them up, head out for a quick run outside the running shoe store, and pay attention to how your feet feel. If a shoe feels good, it is good — for you. Everyone’s stride and foot mechanics are a little different, so comfort really is king.

Everyone knows I love Altras! Here are a couple of my personal favorites if you want to check them out:

🌟 Neck/Arm Pain Relief That Actually Works! 🌟
If you’re dealing with arm pain, numbness, or tingling that’s coming from your neck — it’s often due to nerve compression in the cervical spine. The Saunders Cervical Traction Device is one of the most effective home tools I’ve used to relieve those symptoms.
This device gently decompresses the cervical spine, helping to reduce pressure on irritated nerves and improve circulation. Many of my patients notice relief in their arm symptoms — sometimes after just a few sessions.
I’m demonstrating how it works in this video.
�If you’re struggling with cervical spine issues or nerve-related arm pain, this might be a game changer for you.

💪 Get Stronger. Move Better. Anywhere.

The TRX Suspension Trainer isn’t just a strap — it’s a full upper-body gym you can hang anywhere. This video is all arm exercises!

The TRX is one of the most effective (and portable!) tools for strengthening your upper extremities and back — using nothing but your body weight and gravity.

Many of our patients use this when traveling to get a workout in! In this video I go over my favorite arm exercises. Tomorrow I will show you leg exercises.🦵

My favorite way to MOVE is cycling! This ride is one the largest every year. The All For One 100 hosted by the Van Purser Foundation. 100 miles and 100's of cyclists!

100 miles on a bike seems crazy to most people who are not cyclists! 🤯How do we do it!!

1. Community! ❤️ Riding 100 miles by yourself would be awful. Suffering with your friends is fun!
2.Experience. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️This is something you have to work up to. Learning to ride efficiently in a group is key.
3. Chamois Cream!😁🍑A little known secret of cyclists that helps keep our back sides happy while riding this long! I have always used one brand that I find works the best! Link below!
