Hey 👋🏼 I Have Some News You Should Read About Right Meow 👇🏻

First, a quick question for you: If you were suffering from heart disease, would you put your trust in your general practitioner or a cardiologist?

Since your life is on the line, I’m going to bet you chose the doctor who has dedicated they’re career to hearts and nothing else. The one who is the expert in all things tickers ❤️

In all aspects of life, you want to go with the expert. They’ve dedicated themselves to their area of knowledge, so you can trust you’re in good hands. Same goes for fitness, even though what you see most is “I’ll help you lose weight!” and nothing more. Does that scream expert? Not quite.

So, if I’m not going to be helping you lose weight, what the hell am I doing?

I Help Retirees Feel 10 (or more) Years Younger By Doubling Their Strength and Flexibility.

As a business owner you’ll often hear you should have a niche. Or, you should be the expert in a specific area. Helping retired - or nearing retirement- folks live their life to the fullest without physical limitations is my expertise 💪🏼

Why the change?

I’ve struggled to narrow down my niche for longer than I care to admit. I’ve always loved working with people who have a bum knee, achy back or who are timid and brand new to strength training, and finding ways to increase their fitness while working around these limitations.

But, saying I work with this ONE type of person is scary as hell. It’s like I’m shutting my doors to others I can help. So, I held off.

This is why I’m so inconsistent with providing information on here; I didn’t know WHO I was talking to. Now, that’s going to change.

Why retirees?

Because anyone can slap a workout together and tell a client to eat less. Getting someone stronger who’s struggled with back pain for years or had a knee surgery is another story. It takes more than your average Joe blow (😂 get it?) can provide.

Our society is awful in the sense it makes retirement the finish line in life where you can relax. What happens when you relax? You become physically incapable of…well, life. Screw that noise. Become stronger in your 50’s, 60’s and 70’s than you were in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s.

Wrapping this saga up, from here on out, I’ll be your source of getting stronger, more flexible and looking better (everyone wants to look better, regardless of age, let’s be real) for those in the retirement years 💪🏼💪🏼

Do you want to feel 10 years (or more) younger? Do you want to double your strength and flexibility? Comment with ‘tell me more’ below and I’ll reach out about my 30 Day Test Drive.

Please share this so others who want to feel 10 years younger can get started!

Have a strong finish to your week, folks!

💪🏼 Exercise of the Day - Alternating Dumbbell Floor Press 💪🏼

This has become a staple upper body exercise for all of my clients. I wouldn’t say there many exercises where I’d give to EVERYONE, regardless of goal and limitations, but this is one of the few.

What it does:

✅ Builds muscle and strength in the shoulders, chest and triceps

✅ Gives some mobility in the upper body to make you feel like Gumby

Being on the ground and the shoulder range of motion being limited, even those with back and shoulder aches can perform it.

Key Points:

🔑 Reach the hand which stays in the air toward the ceiling. You should slightly roll away from this side.

🔑 Don’t crush your elbow into the ground 🤦🏻‍♂️

🔑 Keep heels and low back heavy in the ground. This will give you some abs. Everyone loves some abs.

What’s your go to upper body exercise? Drop a comment below to let me know (that rhymed 😎).

Exercise of the Day 💪🏼

I had a Facebook memory pop up from five years ago (holy s**t time flew) when I used to do an exercise of the day. It gave me the urge to get it going again, since I’m five years less dumb now…

💥 Squatting Bar Reach 💥

I often give this to folks who need a little help with balance or who are brand new to dropping it like it’s hot. It gives you a chance to feel what the right position of a squat is without thinking as much.

Here’s how to do it:

- Stand roughly arms length from the bar, which will be at belt line height. Your arms should be slightly bent when standing but outreached in the bottom of the squat.

- Unlock knees, then slide knees forward to initiate movement. Drop hips straight down as if you’re trying to put your back pockets on your heels. No back pockets? I hope you have pants on, at least.

- Once you hit a comfortable depth, push the Earth away from you to stand back up.

This guy can smoke the legs and improve your flexibility better than the Tin Man’s oil can. If you have squatting down pretty well and want your quads to hate you, slap on a backpack with weight and go to town. Bridges the gap between a true squat and a machine.

Give it a try and let me know how much you hate me for the idea 🤬 or if you have any questions!

A nice way to hate life 😁 🃏

I’ve had my clients do this on the assault bike, but plenty of exercises can be used. Super simple instructions:

- Pull up a random card generator on your phone

- Click to reveal the first card

- Whatever number is revealed, do that many calories or reps

- Reat 15-30 seconds and do it again

I’ve had people do 5-8 rounds at the end of a workout. You can set a clock for a specific time and do as many rounds as possible. If you’re feeling like Lance Armstrong, do the entire deck 🃏 ☠️ I’ll eventually give this one a try. Hopefully I survive to tell the tale.

Sometimes we do dumb crap 💩

Myself is absolutely included in that. When you’re working on becoming a stronger, fitter and better functioning human, you can use a handful of exercises to accomplish those things.

For the ole sticks which connect you to the ground, in my gym, you’ll see a small variety of trapbar deadlifts, squats, lunges and split squats. All great and dandy, but what happens when you get into bit of a weird position?

Maybe nothing. Maybe you get hurt. Maybe you get stuck 😬 I didn’t get stuck, but I felt pretty unstable during when I was in similar positions as the 45 degree and lateral lunges, as shown in the video.

What do ya know? After doing a couple sets of these I felt a little more athletic. Noice.

You don’t need to do circus exercises you’ve seen on the Internet. Get more comfortable and stronger in all positions of a compass. Not only at 90 degrees. Go freshman year geometry.

You can’t do what you don’t do. Duh.

On Saturday evening, I attended a friend’s birthday party where we played laser tag. Real looking gun and everything. It’s badass. Also, I’m glad I was on my wife’s team. She’s a good shot, ultra competitive and absolutely ruthless ☠️ Scared the 💩 out of me.

Anywho, I definitely did some moving in ways I’m not used to. Sore and stiff is an understatement.

On Sunday, we had two volleyball games. Now, I’m super duper sore and stiff.

Why am I sore and stiff? Doing stuff I haven’t done in awhile and A LOT more than I’m used to. The brain does not know what in the hell is going on, so it puts the brakes on for a bit. It sensed a threat, so it slowed your roll.

Similar idea when you hurt yourself doing a mundane task. Picking up a basket of clothes and your hip pops or you’re cruising into second base during beer league softball and your back goes out. No bueno.

If you’re never in a position, then get into said position without conscious intention, s**t can go haywire.

Get strong in all areas, folks 💪🏼

Peyton and Oakley being adorable for your viewing pleasure.

Science Fact 🧪

The more muscle you have, the more cuddlier you are. Like a life size teddy bear…or gorilla…I think they’re cuddly 🤔

175 for 8 in this video on reverse lunges. Rolling toward an eventual 225 for 6-8.

Sadly, I can’t take credit for making this up. Totally stole it off a church’s electronic sign after dropping Brynley off at school.

Thanks for the help in making this post, Jesus. You da man 🙌🏻

The sign was referring to the idea of self-awareness.

This is talked about in the gym every few days.

You can’t improve what you don’t know needs improving.

You can’t reduce your calorie intake to lose weight if you don’t know how much you’re currently eating.

You won’t know if an exercise is appropriate for you if you don’t stop and think about what muscles you’re feeling working.

👆🏻 Unlsss you’re on the Assault Bike. Don’t slow down. That feeling is your soul dying. No big deal ☠️

More self-reflection will equal greater results, guaran-damn-teed.
