The muscle group you’re not working enough
Any guesses what it is?! Your GLUTES, baby. I feel like it’s easy for us to think that we train our glutes a lot, especially if we’re into the fitness game and like to squat and deadlift. But here’s the thing: squatting is not enough. Strong glutes are insanely important for function: they help to support our hips, knees, back, and pelvic floor, and are responsible for abduction, rotation and hip extension. They’re also notoriously weak. … [Read more...]

Injury and energy: Energems
Being injured is a MAJOR bummer. My heart goes out to those with severe injuries or chronic pain.

Even heavy weights on upper body where my abdominals … [Read more...]
