Pain Is Not Normal
Pain isn’t something to accept with age or with injuries that weren’t properly rehabbed.

Health- What Does It Mean To You?
The health and fitness industry can be overwhelming with all of the information- information that contradicts itself and information that is unpopular from the mainstream.

How To: Exercise
Confession time, I didn’t know how to exercise when I was growing up. The exercise habits I learned on my own, from fitness magazines, athletic coaches, and even other trainers, and exercise programs started ingraining dysfunction on my body and the result was aches and pains… in my early 20’s.

Chase Function
If you don’t have function you don’t have a strong body. Period. Your “strong muscles” eventually won’t be able to muscle through the same exercises you got away with in your youth or with your genetics. The way your body naturally moves will need the appropriate muscles working to facilitate movement or you’ll start allowing […]
Muscle Power
A muscle will produce more force when it is used in integration with the other muscles in its fascially connected chain/sling. To add to that, if you focus solely on “lifting heavy” weights on a limited range of motion exercise like the bench press (as evident by the picture), you’re packing on unfunctional muscle that […]
