I love the first sentence. "Stop abusing your IT band.

Stop abusing your IT band. It is your friend, and you haven’t been treating it like one.

Did you ever think? 😉

When it comes to have stamina in the sack, fitness fanatics definitely come out on top. But the sexual perks of working out are not limited to hardcore CrossFitters or marathoners, the subtle art of Pilates can definitely help you between the

Hmmm... Pilates!

I had just returned home after a great Pilates class and was bending down to load some dishes in the dishwasher when it happened. I felt my abdominal and thigh muscles flex, contract, quiver and then

Very exciting day!!!

Stretching at a level 1
Was certainly a lot of fun

Now that I am level 2
I know much more what stretch can do!

Sack Of Buns was really great
But now we have the Figure 8!

Butterfly will blow away
Your shoulder tightness any day!

How about the Scorpion
To stretch your hips so you can run!

Spiral line in such a state
QooL & The Gang to Celebrate!

I should like to Climb a Tree
Your adductors will will stretch for me!

Fascial lines will get some care. Phalanges are what take you there.

I will practice, you will see
To be prepared for level 3!

Did you know that foam rolling is NOT MYOFASCIAL RELEASE?! If you are going to release fascia, you have to know how it behaves. Direct pressure does not release it... see the video to see why! Watching people roll their IT Bands makes me bonkers!

In this video we explain why the commonly used 'foam roller' does NOT constitute myofascial release, nor does the utilization of instrument assisted soft tis...

Magnesium is an electrolyte that helps your fascia and muscles relax, and keeps those tissues hydrated! (Remember that fascia can contract just like muscle, albeit much more slowly.) Magnesium can help re-hydrate the fascial tissue (which is supposed to be fluid filled) keeping it soft and supple. When these tissues become dehydrated the viscosity of the fluid thickens, becomes glue-like, and eventually leads to reductions in mobility. Thorne Magnesium Citramate uses only pharmaceutical grade ingredients, and is produced with the highest manufacturing practices for purity and efficacy!

Thorne Magnesium Citramate is a product with several health benefits including heart & lung function, blood pressure, glucose regulation, optimal bone density, muscle relaxation (muscle fatigue or cramping) and kidney stones. Use of this product is not recommended if you have kidney disease or are u…

I had the most fun teaching Fitness Professional Development today at Life Time Fitness! Was it about fitness? No! Was it about anatomy or fascia or Pilates? No! Actual topic: How to build and use a page for your business. Yay! I love Facebook! Pretty soon... need to do a photo shoot in my Life Time Fitness Uniform... great place to work... great people to work with!

Today I stretched a gentleman who questioned my technique, wondering if he didn't feel pain and intensity during the stretch, how could it be working? My response... Well, I just took your arm from horizontal to vertical during a biceps stretch on the table. Your arm hasn't been there in years... didn't feel it huh? That's the beauty of FST!

I am honored to be counted among the first U.S. class of LifeStretch (tm) certified teachers! (Once I get a little practice under my belt), I will be teaching individuals how to stretch themselves in private and group settings. LifeStretch (tm) is a continuation of the Fascial Stretch Therapy I do for clients on my table. What an amazing way to integrate movement based self-stretching into my repertoire!

Do you take a protein supplement? Most people do not get enough protein in their diet to provide adequate nutrients for regeneration of connective and muscle tissue. Cows are supposed to eat grass... and Life Time Fitness has a pharmaceutical grade Whey Protein that uses only dairy from cows that eat grass year around... all the way from Australia! (There aren't many places in the US or Canada that can supply fresh green grass 365.) That means better availability, higher Omega 3s, greater taste and more. And, you don't even have to be a member to purchase it! Get 10% off with this link... try auto-ship for monthly delivery right to your door!

Formulated by the healthy way of life experts at Life Time Fitness, our Whey Protein contains Proserum®, one of the highest quality whey proteins available. Proserum® comes from grass-fed cows that graze year-round on natural pastures. It’s minimally processed to maintain its natural potency and pow…
