Happy New Year!

The hardest part about learning the hinge movement pattern, is to better understand what it feels like to move through the hips instead of moving through the spine.

This is an exercise that I use with my clients to get them better moving through the hips!

GET RID OF THE BOSU BALL.

Stability is learning how to manage changes in the forces acting on our body so that we can maintain a position. It also acts as a rate limiter to a higher force output.

We can train stability in a lot of different ways. The most common, is to move from a two legged stance, to a single leg stance.

The surface that we use to do our balance and stability work on makes a huge difference. Most of us struggle to stand on one foot as it is. Adding a BOSU ball to the equation just makes for an unnecessarily hard environment. It will also make the exercise extremely difficult to load, therefore decreasing the effectiveness of loading the tissue you are targeting.

Think about the surfaces that you most commonly interact with. Flat ground is the most common. When do you interact with the surface of a BOSU ball?

Prioritize getting good at standing on one leg on a flat surface first. You’ll see a larger effect on your training, than doing BOSU Squats.

Food is energy. Energy fuels performance.

Make sure you are providing your body with enough energy to fuel your workouts. More energy = better environment to get stronger.

Stop starving yourself to lose weight.

Client Win This Week 🔥

I’ve been working with this client since July.

When they first came in, they were a surgery candidate with significant shoulder degeneration and could barely lift their arm to shoulder height without pain.

We decided to focus on exercises that didn’t hurt - horizontal and high-incline rowing variations.

Fast forward to yesterday, while doing a BOSU Ball abdominal crunch, they brought both arms overhead to help create more rib flare for the movement. After a few reps, we both realized what had just happened - they got the arm overhead completely pain free.

No special rehab drills.
No fancy mobility routines.
No magic exercises.

Just finding tolerable movements, loading them, and consistently working hard each week.

Resistance training builds capacity, confidence and sometimes, it brings back ranges of motion people thought they’d lost forever.

Bitcoin: The people who win are the ones who hold through the boring years, not the ones chasing pumps.

Fitness: The people who win are the ones who train through the boring months, not the ones chasing 6-week challenges or “detoxes.”

Both reward patience, discipline, and time in the system.
