Ignite Your Fitness by Naky Case

Fitness should feel good. Find what you love, laugh a little, sweat a lot, and keep showing up for yourself.

•Stacy doesn’t dilly dally! 😆 •Sundays at 10:30 brings the burn with my favorite crew. •Big changes ahead, but I’ll always be cheering this crew on. 🫶

Sharing what I’m learning as a PTA student!

Posture is key for keeping your body balanced, and pain-free. Did you know that for every inch your head moves forward (like when going, driving, reading and looking down at your phone) , it increases the weight on your spine by about 10 lbs?

This shifts your center of gravity which puts extra stress on your neck and lower back.

Overtime, this leads to muscle tension, headaches, and even chronic pain. Keeping your head stacked over your shoulders helps reduce strain and improves overall function.

So, stop slouching and pull your head and shoulders back! 😀

I had a great time at the Fall Prevention Expo at the Gordon YMCA today! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat about the importance of balance and strength as we age.

Did you know that strong glutes, feet muscles, and core strength are key to preventing falls?

They help you stabilize you with every step, improving your balance and reducing the risk of injury.

Let’s keep moving and stay strong!

We’re excited to announce that the Mel Korum Family YMCA will reopen at 5am on
Monday, August 26, pending any unforeseen issues over the weekend. We’ll have cider and
coffee at the welcome center.
Thank you for your patience. We look forward to seeing you!

A heartfelt shout-out to my extraordinary client, Angela! Her unwavering dedication, relentless work ethic, and consistent attendance set her apart from day one. Angela isn’t just a client; she’s become a wonderful friend ❤️. Her genuine goodness shines through.

While Angela thanks me for showing up, it’s truly me who should express gratitude for HER and for trusting me as her trainer. Watching her confidence flourish as she ventures out of her comfort zone is immensely rewarding! My goal is for clients like Angela to embrace their workouts confidently, free from intimidation in the gym.

I understand classes may seem scary, but once you try them, you’ll be hooked! Our instructors, especially the amazing Stacy , are supportive and bring the 🔥. This is just the beginning for Angela! 🤩💪

You should definitely check out this great class!

A fun new class is coming your way! Starting in September, join us on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 10:30am for RIPPED. This class will build strength and stamina and exhaust your core in the best way possible. Join Stacy on Tuesdays and Amber on Thursdays and get RIPPED

This class is going to be awesome! The RIP trainer will help you build a strong and stable core 🔥. Plus, Stacy Slover Jones is one of the the instructor’s 🙌. Amber is amazing too! You should definitely check out this class if you can.

This is so true! Oftentimes, we focus on one issue and try to fix ONE part on our body. Through many years of training and my background of corrective exercise, I have found that it doesn’t need to be that complex.

The solution? Just move! Are your hips tight? Just move them and take them through all of the ranges of motions that they are intended to go through.

Pain in your shoulder? Yep, that’s right… just move them more often!

The actions that I see often see get neglected are protraction and retraction of the shoulder blades and internal and external rotation of the hip.

Give this a read and see how easy it is for you to work on getting your mobility back. Once you lose it, it’s hard to get back so start moving!

Anatomical Movements - Tom Morrison Movements usually come in pairs, what goes up must come down after all. Here we’re going to go through some of the most common movements such as Flexion and Extension, and some less common, like Inversion and Eversion.

Time for a workout! Today’s workout had an emphasis on the adductors (inner thigh)muscles. Do you realize that for most of us, especially me, we always seem to emphasize our abductor (glute/booty) muscles when we squat, lunge, bridge or even jump? We always push our knees out and use bands around our knees. What about the adductor muscles? Your leg muscles become unbalanced because your outer muscles always working and your inner thigh muscles are just going along for the ride. Did you know that your muscles need to be balanced so that the they can work together to keep your hips and knees healthy? Your adductor muscles are responsible for pulling your leg toward the midline of your body AND they also can extend and flex the hip. Those adductors are responsible for a lot of actions! 😮 We do those things everyday as we walk, run or just when we move. Adductors are just as important and your Abductor muscles. Moral of the story is to train your adductor muscles too! #adductors #ymcapersonaltrainer #soundfitnessandtraining #soundfitnessandtrainingtrainers #sundayfunday #functionalfitness #compoundmovements #garageworkout #movementgeek #ptastudent
