Happy Thursday! I don’t know about you, but over

Happy Thursday! I don’t know about you, but over here we are feeling the feels. Exercise is a positive stressor, but it’s a stressor none the less. Things are weird right now and even best case scenarios are different and challenging. Training should always be the answer to the question “what does my body need right now?” Taking some time to be still, check in, process, accept, and breathe is just as valuable a movement and loading
.
Have a great day and give yourself some space and grace 💚☮️

I’m very proud of my client Jim. Two years ago

I’m very proud of my client Jim. Two years ago he decided to begin exercising and taking better care of his body. Right out the gate, he experienced challenges: A job change that involved traveling 5 out of 7 days a week, 10-15 hour work days, and not so easy access to food choices that supported his goals. Then, this time last year, an old shoulder impingement started to flare up. We had to take some steps back and rework the fundamentals. Jim did everything I said. AND he was patient with himself. Not moving consistently for 30+ years and having stressful life circumstances is a lot to overcome. Things cannot be undone overnight
.
This morning, even though we haven’t seen each other in person in about 45 days, he was able to beautifully execute eccentric pushups from the floor, without pain 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
.
THE most important thing for progress is coachability. All of the other stuff (consistency, patience, intensity, talent, experience, strength,etc) will only take you so far. A willingness to listen, learn and then do is essential for real growth

Dynamic hinging! This is a front reaching RDL, an awesome tool for anyone, but in particular my #runstrongcincy peeps as they tackle those Cincinnati hills
.
We need our posterior chain (back, butt and hamstrings) to be strong enough to not only give us some horse power, BUT, and possibly more importantly, decelerate us- down hill especially
.
Teach your hamstrings to lengthen under load (mobility) rather than stretching them to death to gain passive range of motion, get stronger in more positions

Hey 👋 runners! @innerfiretribe @pmcgilvray and I sat down to talk strength for running- what’s true and what’s BS
.
Do you have where to start with movements, weights and progressions?
What does it mean to have muscle as an endurance athlete?
How does strength improve overall health and improve running longevity and Performace?

My client Kasey prepared for months for a vigorous Ruck Marathon- it was cancelled due to COVID-19. Of course, she was disappointed, but here she is, in her hotel getting some pushups on, continuing to train. FYI- this is from over a month ago, before things got crazy
.
Just because you can’t do what you want, when you want to, doesn’t mean you stop. Kasey will absolutely get to ruck a marathon, but until then, we live to train another day

Posted @withregram • @cincystjudewalkrun Join us Sunday morning at 10:30 am for a special version of Blood, Sweat and Tear, a virtual class from the comfort of your homes. In addition we will be raffling off gifts to support local companies in this time of need!

PERSIST FITNESS VIRTUAL TRAINING . I get asked by

PERSIST FITNESS VIRTUAL TRAINING
.
I get asked by my clients a lot “what’s this for?”, or “what does this do?”. I know what they mean. They want to know what part of their body will be stronger and look better as a result of a being “tortured” for 1-3 hours a week with me. But I always answer the same way: WE ARE TRAINING FOR LIFE
.
And life is here. This exact situation. Being comfortable, being mindless. That does not build resiliency. That does not train the human will. I am SO PROUD of every one of my clients who stepped outside of their comfort zone this week with barely a thought
.
But I am not surprised. This is why we train: to be strong and steadfast in the face of discomfort, inconvenience, danger and adversity. Thank you Persist Fitness Community- I love you all♥️♥️

UPDATE: As requested from the smart and lovely @el

Look at Angie go! The bamboo bar is an awesome too

Look at Angie go! The bamboo bar is an awesome tool to challenge and enhance stability. A little goes a long way, so we can use significantly less load to do the trick #worksmarterandharder .
It has been my pleasure to work with Angie during her pre/post knee replacements (on both knees!) She went into each surgery’s incredibly fit and strong, which gave her such an edge in recovery
.
In this variation, Angie walks toe-heel, with kettlebells secured at each end with red bands and grip can be adjusted based on shoulder mobility
.
The benefits of this exercise include:
🔰Single leg/single hip stability
🔰Rotational stability/core
🔰Additional hamstring recruitment from step pattern (enhances pull phase of gait) 🔰Smokes the upper back!
🔰Increases mindfulness in movement- you’ll fall over if you don’t stay present with your body .

I love hearing this kind of feedback! This client has been consistent AND patient with her training- two absolutes! Training to improve quality life is my top priority and I’m so happy to hear that after experiencing pain and discomfort for some time, she is able to get back to walking for pleasure- an important part of her life!
