Here we are with Question 47 🙋‍♂️

“What are some exercises to improve posture?”
Now I didn’t go into a lot of “exercises” in the actual video that’s because I firmly believe that if any exercise do properly with good form can be used to help with improve posture. I’ll list 3 that I commonly use for my clients and myself below. 👇

1️⃣ Band Pull-A-Part: this exercises is great for helping you correct forward shoulders or slouching.
2️⃣ Wall Slides: great for helping you develop proper shoulder mobility and overhead mechanics.
3️⃣Deadlift: this can be barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell and any other sort of bell. Deadlifts are great for hamstring mobility and back posture. It can help strengthen all the way throughout your posterior chain or backside

If you have any direct questions on improving your posture go ahead and drop it in the comments below and I will@personally send you an exercise to help 🫡.

Welcome back with Question 4️⃣6️⃣

Q: How to build an at home gym on a budget?

A: Full blog linked in Bio
https://teamquinnfit.com/how-to-build-an-inexpensive-at-home-gym/

This is a fun one and I have been building, expanding and changing my gym for almost 10years now!
The best advice I can give you is be patient. Shop around especially on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp and eBay. These places are great to find used, cheap equipment. Most of my at home gym was built by finding things from these sites.

Now, if you want to get started right away here’s what i recommend.
1. Get yourself a bench off Amazon for like $80
2. Adjustable Dumbbells. They can be pricey but a great space saver and can last ya forever.
3. A pull-up bar. $20 for a doorframe one. If you struggle with pull-ups you can spend like $50-$100 dollars on a good suspension trainer.
4. One of my favorite and most underrated tools. Resistance bands. I had a set last me 7yrs for like $30.

There ya go, get yourself started for less than $300.00. That’s cheaper than most car payments these days.

Are you tired and driving to and from the gym? Wasting time and energy thinking it’s the only place to get a good workout? Does group fitness intimidate you or you just find the workouts unnecessary…

Question 45 of the Top 100 Fitness Questions for the Beginner, generated by Chat
GPT

This one is near & dear to me, dealing with my own injuries and finding ways to workout over these past 10 months and ruining my shoulder in my early 20’s. But with life comes wisdom 🙏

Q: 44- Can I workout with an injury, and how do I modify the exercises?

A- It depends on the type and severity of your injury. In general, it’s best to consult with a healthcare professional before continuing or modifying your workout routine. They can provide guidance on safe exercises and modifications tailored to your injury. For example, if you have a knee injury, you might need to avoid high-impact exercises like running and instead focus on low-impact activities like swimming or cycling. Always prioritize your health and safety when exercising with an injury.

Question #4️⃣3️⃣/ 💯

The Question- How do I calculate my target heart rate for cardio workouts?

Target heart rate is generally expressed as a percentage (usually between 50 percent and 85 percent) of your maximum safe heart rate. The maximum rate is based on your age, as subtracted from 220. So for a 35-year-old(Me), maximum heart rate is 220 minus 35, or 185 beats per minute. At a 50 percent exertion level, your target would be 50 percent of that maximum, or 92-93 beats per minute. At an 85 percent level of exertion, your target would be around 157 beats per minute. Therefore, the target heart rate that a 35-year-old would want to aim for during exercise is 92 to 157 beats per minute.
But there’s an easier way to figure it out if you want to skip the math: Wear a fitness tracking device, or exercise on a treadmill or other machine that calculates target heart rate for you.

Diving deep into the science of senior strength training reveals a treasure trove of evidence supporting its profound impact on overall health and well-being. 🧬💪 As we gracefully age, muscle mass tends to bid us adieu, leading to a decline in strength and an increased vulnerability to falls and fractures. 😟 However, fear not, because regular strength training emerges as a superhero in this narrative.

Research consistently paints a vibrant picture – seniors who embrace resistance training experience a symphony of benefits, from boosting muscle mass and bone density to improving metabolic health. This isn't just about looking strong; it's about being strong and resilient.

The perks extend beyond the physiological realm. Engaging in strength training becomes a key player in the maintenance of functional independence. Suddenly, everyday tasks become less of a chore and more of a victory lap. 🏃‍♂️💪

Let's talk metabolic marvels! Strength training becomes a formidable ally in weight management and glucose control, lowering the risk of conditions like type 2 diabetes. Your body transforms into an energy-efficient powerhouse, promoting a healthier metabolic profile. ⚡️

Remember, it's never too late to start this empowering journey. Embrace the science-backed approach of senior strength training to redefine your aging story. Age is merely a number, and the resilience gained through strength knows no bounds. 🌟 Let's celebrate the science of strength for a vibrant and active golden chapter! 💪👵

If you know me, you know I like to swing mace. So, I wanted to share with you all some of the general benefits of Steel Mace Training.
The benefits of steel mace training,
1. Improved core strength: Steel mace training engages the entire body, including the core muscles, which helps to strengthen and tone the midsection.
2. Increased stability and coordination: Because steel mace training requires a lot of balance and coordination, it can help to improve overall body control.
3. Improved grip strength: Since holding onto the steel mace requires a powerful grip, training with the mace can help to improve grip strength.
4. Reduced risk of injury: Steel mace training can help to strengthen the muscles and joints, which can reduce the risk of injury when performing other physical activities.
5. Improved cardiovascular health: Steel mace training is a high-intensity workout that can help to improve cardiovascular health and increase overall fitness levels.
6. Increased muscular endurance: Steel mace training can help to improve muscular endurance, which is the ability of the muscles to perform repetitive movements over an extended period of time.
Overall, steel mace training can be a challenging and rewarding form of exercise that offers many physical benefits.

Hey Team, to get us through the hot summer months I wanted to share more about hydration with you. In the U.S. alone about 86% of adults are grossly under drinking the recommend 8x8oz of water a day. That’s crazy!!! Just around 14% of people are hitting the daily recommended amount or more. ��Water is essential not just for us to live, but for our bodies systems to function properly. For digestion, circulation, and even muscle contractions to work well, they all require a well hydrated system. Just like your car needs oil; you need H2O. ��Check out the link below to get started on a great way to get your water and electrolytes in. I personally drink one of these blends everyday to help me rehydrate and get my water in.
