Perhaps
Tasha Louie Perhaps you don’t lack mobility. Perhaps you aren’t weak. Perhaps, there’s nothing wrong with you or how you move. Perhaps, you haven’t trained, used, or practiced your mobility/strength/coordination like you did when you were younger. Perhaps, you’ve out trained, used, or practiced other aspects of your physical ability than your mobility/strength/coordination as […]

For example, someone might argue, “Compared to a knee extension machine, squatting is sport-specific [literally, pick any sport] because it involves multiple leg joints and the sport involves multiple leg joints.” If […]

Calisthenics Strength Training Principles
Fanny Tulloch What is this thing you call “Calisthenics Strength training”? The definition of the word Calisthenics varies greatly. If you ask Wikipedia it says the words Kallos and Sthenos comes from the Greek and means Beauty and Strength (great mental strength, courage, strength, determination). “It is the art of using one’s body weight as resistance in order to develop physique”. Further on it […]

Margot Ciccarelli View this post on Instagram Building a solo practice was not something that originated in quarantine for me.

A Life No Longer Your Own
Sevinc Gurmen View this post on Instagram I just love this photo @e.t.bewild took today while I was lifting.

Swings, Techniques, and Design
Austin Einhorn THIS ARTICLE IS ONLY ABOUT TWO THINGS, REALLY. IT’S ABOUT HOW THE HUMAN ORGANISM IS DESIGNED AND HOW IT LEARNS. Since sports require skills, improving them is perhaps the one thing coaches are responsible for, by the current definition of the role. However, most coaches know almost nothing about the topic. A […]

On Parenting & Fitness
Andre Miller I was three years into my career as a personal trainer when I first seriously started considering the impact of parenting on fitness. A middle aged couple I was training made an offhand comment chatting after a workout, “People that are our age who don’t have kids are weird.” I took the […]
