You could have a nice ass if you worked out at 🍑

A great example of how “genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger” ‼️

Even if you are genetically predisposed to something, you have some control over your outcomes! The best medicine is often exercise, diet, laughter and time outside.

I’m so proud of my client! As a young mom of 4, there could be plenty of excuses that could keep her from being consistent in the gym. Instead, she’s chosen to prioritize her health. Which in turn, is the most selfless thing she could do for her family and children!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Grab your foam roller and try these mobility exercises!

1️⃣ Thread the Needle:
-Great for improving/maintaining the thoracic mobility.
-A more intense variation compared to most thoracic mobility exercises.

2️⃣ Spider-Man Stretch with Foam Roller:
-I like this variation because it’s easier for most people to get in the correct position than it is without the foam roller.
-It is “easier” with the roller than without because it requires less hip flexion/range of motion. However, you can intensify the stretch in the quad by adding a little compression into the roller.

3️⃣ Hamstring Extensions with Foam Roller:
-Holy hell, this one sucks… that’s why I gave you a few options😘
-The Stretch should be felt mainly in the front side hamstring. Your low back should NOT be rounded. If you find yourself compensating then regress to your next available option shown in the video.

4️⃣ 90/90 Side Bend (QL & Lat Stretch):
-Pretty sure I made these up.
-Please ease into the stretch and slowly relax into a deeper state. You’ll feel the stretch mainly in the areas you are the tightest. If it’s too intense, back off and decrease the range of motion.

5️⃣ Wall Facing Slides with Foam Roller:
-This is a fantastic variation the the supine floor slide, especially for those you don’t have adequate shoulder flexion to actually perform an honest rep.
-These are great because they also encourage compression and control of the anterior chain. Keep your core engaged (ribs over pelvis). Try your best to not extend your spine.

Ideally all of the above are performed after using the foam roller for its intended use, self massage. Not sure how to foam roll? Happy to share some videos about the appropriate technique!

Try these out and let me know what you think!

Here are some ring row variations that you can use in your program if you’d like to try a challenging horizontal pull exercise. These exercises can also be performed with TRX straps.

1 Arm Ring Row:
-Most challenging
-Not only a great upper body exercise but challenges anti-rotation of the core

2 to 1 Ring Row:
-Pretty challenging but doable if you’re already strong
-Not only a great upper body exercise but challenges anti-rotation of the core

Feet Elevated Ring Row:
-Super challenging but doable if you’re a savage
-For set up: The goal should be to have your body parallel to the ground. To make it even more challenging, you could even have your upper body be at more of an incline. If you really are a bad ass, you could even throw a weighted plate on your hips.

Ring Row w/Pause:
-A little tougher than your basic ring row

Ring Row:
-Easiest, good starting point

For all of these variations, you can change up the tempo (eccentrics/pauses) and play around with rep schemes.

Ps. If you’re a gym owner and/or a member that works out at a large commercial gym. I always recommend checking the health of your straps prior to use, as they can break due to wear and tear.

Do you enjoy exercise demonstrations? Let me know in the comments and I’ll keep them coming.

Have fun and train safe!

Injury’s happen. Sometimes unfortunately, more than once.

Find yourself a team that keeps you going and works around injuries/pain! It is super important to stay active through it all. How do you do that? With creative and intelligent training!

A few years ago, this particular client started training 1-on-1 with Coach Nicole. She was post-op and new to the gym. After a few months, she transitioned into a group setting. During her time group training, she had to undergo another surgery, as soon as she was cleared, she returned to training… wearing her fashionable boot (mind you still in a group setting). Unfortunately, recently she has suffered another injury to that foot and is back in a boot. However, she took less than a week off the gym and has returned back to train in a group setting.

Although this client could easily throw in the towel and take a break… she’s continued to trust us and in our programming to keep her safe and moving.

Credit to our coaches who have made it possible for her to continue training, even in a group setting!

Ps. Check out her stats. Not bad! Bad ass!

Have you worked with coach Winnie yet!? She’s the best! If you want a 💣 workout, you can catch Winnie coaching our 5:30pm Thursday adult group!

Winnie has a long history with athletics having been an athlete herself and becoming a Certified Athletic Trainer at Sacred Heart University. She also got her Master’s degree in Exercise Science and Sport Nutrition. With a background in Sports Medicine, Winnie fell in love with strength and conditioning. She loved the idea of getting people healthier and being able to assist in the transition to resistance training. She played 3 varsity sports in high school, fell in love with Olympic Weightlifting in college and soon walked onto SHU’s Division I Women’s Rugby team. Having been injured on numerous occasions and pushed her body to its limits, she knows exactly how individuals feel at any stage of their rehab or strength and conditioning.
Winnie has worked with athletes of all competition levels and the physically active of all recreational backgrounds both in sports medicine and strength training. Winnie’s love for sports and fascination with the body and movement is what drives her to educate, heal, and encourage everyone to find strength in movement.

Nicole’s Story & Mission

As a graduate of Psychology and Philosophy, a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Strength & Conditioning Coach, Nicole has made it her life mission to use the tools of exercise, movement and mindset as a catalyst for demolishing all personal and physical barriers. Nicole has worked with clientele of all age ranges, levels of experience and injury history. From your desk bound Jockey to Olympic and professional athletes, she has witnessed first hand that with the right guidance and correct dosage of exercise, that all can prosper and improve their human potential. As a coach of Human Performance and a student of Behavioral Analysis, Nicole holds education, experience and knowledge at a high value. After graduating early from Suffolk University in Boston, MA with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, Nicole attended the Academy of Personal Training-where the beginning of her love for fitness began. This led her on to complete an internship, followed by six years of employment, at the mecca of all gyms, Mike Boyle’s Strength and Conditioning. Hungry for more knowledge about injury mitigation and rehab, Nicole also received her Licensure in Massage Therapy from Cortiva Institute and became part of the Movement as Medicine team.

In December of 2017, Nicole created Muscle Mind Movement – a training system encompassing both physical and mental strength training and sports therapeutic massage therapy. With the birth of Muscle Mind Movement, Nicole began offering her services to members of the Belmont Country Club and as well as to clientele seeking concierge services in the Greater Boston area. One year later, Nicole developed her online personal training business as an extension to her in-person services. An online training app that was first made accessible only to her in-person clientele but later gained traction and converted into national and international online training sales and clientele. In April of 2019, Nicole decided it was time to give Muscle Mind Movement an official home and as a result opened the doors to her own private gym in Wi******er, MA. Since, Nicole has been offering her services mainly out of her private studio, while also continuing to work with clientele at the Belmont Country Club and online. After years of hands on experience, Nicole has refined her manual skills in treating clientele with a plethora of injury history of both chronic and acute ailments. Paired with her knowledge in training clientele with very specific training goals and her background in Psychology, Nicole has developed a lens for sport and play that is very unique. Combining her skills in both therapy and training has not only given her the tools needed to help others achieve their goals, but it has also allowed her to create a vision of what it means to posses a quality life and maintain independence.

Nicole is continuously attending educational courses and staying up to date with the latest research and the most effective modalities. Some of her certifications of completion include, the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Certified Functional Strength Coach (CFSC), Functional Range Conditioning (FRC), Functional Release (FR-Lower Extremity), and Positional Release Therapy (PRT – Upper Extremity).

Nicole is currently challenging herself by training Gracie Juijitsu under Olympic Judo Medalist and Professor, Travis Stevens. Other hobbies of hers include, traveling, skiing and free diving.
