TOMORROW!! Let’s be together, but not be together! Movement unites us! #anywhichwaybutdown #persistfitness

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

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!

This is a series of exercises I combined to addres

This is a series of exercises I combined to address a specific weakness after having knee surgery. Programming definitely doesn’t need to be complicated, but it should be an answer to the question “What can I do to get better/stronger at X?”
.

1️⃣wanted to target single leg so I couldn’t cheat my left side. I was doing weighted squats by this time and had never stopped deadlifting throughout my recovery, so my bilateral stuff was taken care of
.
2️⃣I was strong enough to need a weight for the initial concentric/step up phase and wanted to address some quad atrophy that was a result of injury/surgery
.
3️⃣I added the single leg deficit deadlift for two reasons. The first being necessity- I was not strong enough for the eccentric/down phase of the step up (you can see how much my leg shakes when I get there). I did need to address hamstring imbalances and atrophy, so I kept the weight for the eccentric portion of the hinge and then totally deloaded at the bottom by setting the weight down
.
4️⃣These could have been separated into two or three different exercises, but when looking at my resources (time, workload, intensity) I felt best to combine. Coming back from an injury is walking the fine line of pushing/progressing and healing, which can only happen with proper recovery

Took a spin with a 2RM today (with some left in the tank 😉). Maxes aren’t always necessary, but they can be a useful tool for strength adaptations, assessing progress, and feeling strong AF, because you are

Prior to late last year, Charlotte hadn’t lifted weights before. Now she can pull a double at more than her bodyweight. VERY COOL. @charlotteschiff .

1. Single leg strength
2. Hip stability
3. Ankle mobility AND stiffness
4. Sound joint health/movement

For many years I was that person who exercised eve

For many years I was that person who exercised everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. I didn’t eat butter, sour cream, or cheese. FOR LITERAL YEARS. I didn’t even have a specific goal. The goal was “be good, be healthy.” I was walking around as a superficial facade of “health.” The reality was that I was riddled with guilt, uncertainty (why did I do the things I did? What did I want to accomplish?), a damaging mindset, and ignorance about what real, substantial
health looked like.
As I continue my journey as an athlete and more importantly, as a coach, I am finding out every day that, just like other areas of life, the truth lies somewhere in between. Be kind to yourself 💚. #anywhichwaybutdown #runstrongcincy #strengthforeveryone #persist #persistfitness #cincinnatipersontrainer #goals #moderation

This is fun and brings a sense of success and bada

This is fun and brings a sense of success and badassery. I’m proud of Elly- she comes in after a long day at school and practice, she listens and voila! SHE GETS BETTER!! We started by learning how to land (IMO the most important part of leaving the ground), then lower boxes combined with bilateral traditional strength movements and some banded work for overload eccentrics. About a month into training she was more than qualified for this jump
.
Elly is transitioning from basketball to track (sprinter/mid-distance), so even though high jumps are pretty cool, now that I feel confident in her bilateral movement, we will shift to lower height, single leg, lateral and bounding movements- all done prior to our strength program
.
But jumping high is fun (done safely) and we should be having fun. @elizabeth_koterba

You have things you want to do. Places you want to go, tasks to complete, goals to CRUSH. Weight to lose, weight to lift. Miles to run and poses to master
.
Q:How do we get from point A to point “I DID IT!” A: One choice at a time. Slowly, often with little perceivable progress. During times of great happiness and ease. Then, during the tougher moments, you keep moving, one choice at a time. Train and eat for the life you want; don’t compromise the wonderful life you have while getting there

STRENGTH IS A PREREQUISITE FOR ALL OTHER PHYSICAL DEMANDS. .
Loretta and Adrienne are both runners, half marathon and marathoners. We build them to be resilient, mobile, strong athletes in the gym (by deadlifting, squatting, pushing, pulling, and carrying weight) and then they can crush it on the race course
.
Lifting is not just a recommendation for runners- it is a requirement to be prepared for the physical demands of the sport 💪🏻Let’s have a SAFE and FUN @runflyingpig training season!! @fitbuckcincy @pt_plus_ #peristfitness @persistfitnesstraining #anywhichwaybutdown #ptplus #runstrongcincy #cincinnatipersonaltraining #flyingpigcincinnati #flyingpigtraining #marathon #halfmarathon #strengthforrunners

One of my ♥️favorite ♥️ things of 2019 is getting the opportunity to work with this mother/daughter dynamic duo. @carolinebieser came in first, wanting to get stronger, leaner and improve shoulder mobility/decrease pain. ✅✅✅, AND the c o o l e s t thing is that her high school daughter @charlotteschiff got curious and wanted to learn about lifting weights!! They started to feel better and stronger. They both started making food choices that aligned with their goals and training. GUYS- this is the “magic” of movement. It doesn’t save lives- IT EMPOWERS US TO SAVE OURSELVES
.
Thank you Charlotte and Caroline for including me on this journey. CANNOT wait for what’s to come!
