Strength training is beneficial for everyone. Burn more calories with increased muscle mass, improve movement mechanics which will reduce fall risk, increase energy and mood courtesy of endorphins. #ncsf_certified

Physical activity dramatically reduces the risk for developing CVD (cardiovascular disease). Several studies have shown that a dose-response gradient exists, further supporting the need for regular physical activity.

Interrupt your clients' day by sending them this mobility video. There is no better way to break up the monotony of sitting at a desk for 8 hours than with a good hip flexor / adductor / glute stretch. Make sure they send you a selfie so you know they completed it.

Every exercise should have a purpose. . . The purpose might be to activate a certain muscle, put a specific muscle through full ROM, or as part of a good tri-set for a total-body workout.

Although personal training should focus on reaching client goals, many other important needs warrant priority in the exercise session. Solely emphasizing hypertrophy training may limit the attainment of more important health pursuits within the program.

All you need is a broomstick and a good eye to perform an overhead squat assessment. . Then all you need is a plan (and time) to fix the issues you identified. . When implementing corrective exercise, a good plan for progressing movements is: Stretch - Move - Load.

First, notice the quotation marks. Why is alcohol such a trigger topic? The statistics from the graphic are all from peer-reviewed scientific research. For reference, moderate consumption is considered 6-15 drinks per week and one standard glass of wine is 150 ml (5oz).

A bilateral variation of the traditional exercise. Bilateral means instead of doing one leg at a time, we are bringing both up together. The wide stance with flexed hips and knees will promote short adductor flexibility and activation of the hip abductors.

Many clients will not have the prerequisite hamstring range of motion to obtain the bottom position and maintain a neutral spine and pelvis during the conventional deadlift. Obtaining a wider stance will alleviate some of the tension on the hamstrings.

Different sports have varied needs for lean mass - which explains why hypertrophy training may vary in its emphasis. A team that is refined to ideal anthropometrics may bypass the hypertrophy phase all-together and blend anaerobic endurance into strength-power.

Hypertrophy training is used to increase the mass of a muscle for any number of reasons. Many exercisers fail to see the results they desire from hypertrophy training because 1) the rest intervals are too long or 2) the resistance is either too light, or too heavy.

The bodyweight squat is an excellent lower body exercise. The traditional variations, whether you are adding external load (back squat, front squat etc) or making it ballistic (jump squat), also target the lower body while adding benefit in the form of trunk stability or power.
