This post is partially inspired by Lola’s obnoxious snoring during my mobility workshop this Saturday! Lately I’ve been engaged in several conversations with people at the gym regarding sleep.

Buckle up! Anyone who knows Cristy knows that she is incapable of being short and to the point, and her story is no exception. Cristy is one of those people I rely on each morning, she is kind of like my shot of espresso. She pops in for the “6:30” class ;)…. and brings a […]

Coaches will also benefit from reading these articles because I’m laying out many of the considerations I make when programming for groups and individuals. […]

You may noticed we are doing this 4-6 rep (increase 2.5% or stay the same) thing week after week, that is going to continue. It is called a Reverse Pyramid Training plan. Here is how […]
One of the most challenging aspects of group programming revolves around one of the simplest exercises: the pull-up.

I have tried several different methods of programming and helped many people over the years, but I have never been able […]
