COMBAT THE CALORIES 

The holidays are here!   I’ve heard other trainer talk about using an ice cream scoop to manage servings at Thanksgiving or all kinds of tactics to get through the holiday season.  Being someone from south Louisiana, telling myself I can’t eat what I want during the holidays  just makes me laugh.  I spend the rest of the year with my nutrition constantly on my brain & trying to make the right decisions.  The holidays are the one time I let go and just think I’ll get back on track in the new year.  Instead I take my workouts up a notch to combat the parties and gatherings.  This month I progressed the mobility workout, as well as providing a cable workout for those of you with access to a single cable column to combat all those extra calories.  The cable workout requires an adjustable cable column that most of you won’t have at home, but you can get creative with bands or join a gym for the month to give it a try.  The cable workout is a really good full body weights workout that moves the body in all directions and works the core without being boring like just crunches or sit-ups.  Have fun & happy holidays!  See you all in the new year!

2020 Coming to an End

Here we are in December.  Probably the most welcome close to a year ever.  The hard truth this January may not be the clean slate we all so desperately want, and we may have to find new tactics mentally and physically to survive the trying times.  With us stuck at...

November: Ow, My Neck!

“Why does my neck start to hurt or get a crick in it sometimes when I move this way or that?”  I believe lack of movement causes all parts of our bodies to act up.  When people ask what they should do for exercise, I always recommend to move their bodies in as many...

Shoulder to Shoulder

I presented a few months ago that bad posture leads to numerous shoulder issues.  Shoulder issues are probably one of the most common issues people come to me about, and probably one of the most challenging to correct.  The shoulder is an amazing joint that...
