Summer Solstice & Health.

New blog is live celebrating summer solstice and what it could mean to our health.

Our health isn’t just about our bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.

It’s more than our organ function and muscle development..

More than the way our brain functions within our careers, relationships, and how we feel about ourselves.

It’s not just the sleep we get, diet we intake, or the money we make…

It’s more than the way we move our bodies in our hobbies, athletic pursuits, and in the gym.

Our health CAN be so much more.

24.2! A hinge/hip party (again) Be ready to breath.
_____________
As always, tips are personal. Get with your coach or dm us.

Find your 5k pace or slower than ya think pace on the row and settle in, you can always go faster if you feel good. This is a great spot to rest in the workout with slower pacing instead of wasting time not working during the other movements.

No need to go unbroken on deadlifts, even if you can. Again, you can do that later in the workout if feeling good. Singles will save your posterior chain and effort being completed, they also aren’t much slower if you move fast on them. Go ahead and use a switch/mixed grip, it makes the load feel lighter and moves faster and saves your grip. (We are “competing” for funzies after all, don’t use this often)

Do not redline early! Or do… it could be more fun that way….

This is a great one to put your head down and go. Low skill. Like last week. Find your happy place and just… keep….moving.

Week 2 y’all, give it hell.

This dude!

A few considerations on scoring in the gym (and in life).

The paradox of scoring in the gym (and in life). What is scoring good for? Where might it create potential to get lost down a path of comparison? Let's ponder shall we? Most of us have heard about Roger Bannister, the first to break the sub 4 minute mile right? If not, here is the cliff notes. There was a time where that was thought impossible. Fo...

Bharat has made big life changes!

Today he beat his old self in a workout by 2:57.

He gained muscle mass and lost body fat% over the course of 3 months.

His health markers have improved.

The cooler story…

We haven’t seen many people as committed to the process as him that come through our ROOTS program.

He’s found a lot of enjoyment having a movement practice in his life.

He reported feeling more confident.

His new found will and determination has him waking up every morning 2 hours earlier than he once did with energy. He has a morning routine that dials him in for his day.

He’s made lifestyle changes to his nutrition and daily habits and is motivated to keep going.

Commitments to ourselves can create massive change in our lives and we are sure proud of this dude.

Be like Bharat.

A practice just as important for your health as being in the gym?

Complaining. Complaining culture. What we focus on is often what becomes our reality. We have talked about this before in other ways. Let's talk about complaining. And.... let's be real.... a gym is a great place to complain! I understand that. We all complain at some point, about something, to someone. It feels...

Matthew wrapped up 3 months on our ROOTS program today.

He beat his old self by over 4:05 on his baseline workout, going from 10:43 to 6:38.

He’s mentioned changes in his mindset, mentality, and stress levels to go along with this big fitness improvement he’s had.

Be like Matthew!

What goes on when you think about "the only thing certain is uncertainty?"

Blog for more!

The only thing certain, is uncertainty What goes on when you think of this idea... the only thing certain is uncertainty? We have all probably heard some version of this. Said another way... results are out of our hands. Last week we had a re-test week at the gym. After 10 weeks of hard work, you had the opportunity to get some feedback....

Murali has completed 3 months on our foundation program.

He lost 17lbs.

He beat his old self on a workout by 2:38.

Results being a byproduct of the process.

The process being a commitment to himself with lifestyle changes included his nutrition and training.

Be like Murali.

Why challenge yourself?

Curious?

Why a challenge? Why a challenge? When was the last time you challenged yourself? If you are a student at the gym, you do this often. As humans, we tend to lean heavily on building comfort in our lives. Often, we aren't even aware we are doing it. It's also perfectly ok to desire comfort. and... It could be a recipe...

FREE EVENT!

Come enjoy a challenging hike this Saturday morning led by Ashwini Nayak MD! Ashwini is also a life coach and will be leading a conversation about cultivating strength during uncertain times.

We will also put this to the test during the hike itself and an option to jump in the rivers cold waters at the completion of the hike!
__________
We meet at 7:30am at the trailhead. Apple Maps and the AllTrails app both have the trail “Dirty Harry’s Peak Trail” use either to map it.

The hike we are doing takes roughly 3 hours round trip to complete + about an hour of hangs, river jumping, and conversation.

Plan accordingly!
