If Dillon, ActivEdge’s Athletic Trainer, could only do four exercises for the rest of his life, he’d choose:
• Sprinting
• Split Squats
• Pull-Ups
• Push-Ups
Why these four?
Sprinting develops power, speed, conditioning, and athleticism.
Split squats build single-leg strength, balance, stability, and resilient lower bodies.
Pull-ups are one of the best measures of upper-body strength and help build a strong back, shoulders, and grip.
Push-ups train functional pushing strength, core stability, and can be scaled for nearly any fitness level.
Together, these movements check almost every box: strength, power, mobility, endurance, coordination, and longevity.
If you had to choose just four exercises forever, what would make your list? 👇

If Dillon is asking you to do it, chances are he’s already tried it himself. From sports performance training to general fitness and strength conditioning, every program is customized to meet your unique goals, abilities, and needs.
Simply put: At ActivEdge, we make the workout work for you.
Aging well isn’t just about muscular strength—it’s also about staying powerful, balanced, and resilient 💥
Jumping helps maintain bone density, balance, coordination, muscle power, and confidence as we age. Even incorporating low-grade plyometrics, like small hops, skips, and controlled jumping drills, into our daily activities allow us to keep moving well for life.
And training your body to absorb and produce force safely can improve everyday movement, reduce fall risk, and keep you feeling athletic and agile at every age.
Ready to feel stronger and more capable? ActivEdge helps from the ground up, with personal and sports performance training built just for you.

Upright Athlete: Pete Morano 🧤⚽️
📩🗣️"I have found a second home at ActivEdge. It’s a place where I can be myself and enjoy my time, all while keeping the goal of becoming a better athlete in mind. The entire staff has had my back through injuries and obstacles and without them I wouldn’t have the privilege of participating in the opportunity of collegiate sports. Thank you to Brian and the entirety of the ActivEdge and Upright Athlete staff!!"
Thanks Pete for the kind words, and best of luck as you move on to the next step: college soccer at High Point University!
