How I'm Taking Care of Myself (well, it's really about You)
Mar 31, 2020
Monday March 16th at around 11:00am I received word that the studio was mandated to close indefinitely as of 8:00pm that night. I haven't told many others this but I was thinking of closing us down for 1-2 weeks anyways to help do our part with what was rapidly becoming a real concern in the community.

Targeting Belly Fat
Mar 3, 2020
I often refer to the "abs" as America's favorite muscle group. It seems like that's the part everyone talks about the most and not just for aesthetic reasons. Research indicates that depositing fat around the midsection carries a greater risk of cardiovascular disease than if it deposits in the lower body1. So how can you target the fat around...
What Is The Most Important Movement You Should Master?
Apr 2, 2019
所有的不同主要亩cle movements you can do, which is the most important? What is the one move that is involved in so much of what you do, both in exercise and in life? There are a LOT of options to choose from! My approach to this would involve looking a few different criteria: which movement involves using the largest amount of muscle mass...
The Skinny on 10,000 Steps Per Day
Dec 31, 2018
So your significant other just gave you that Fitbit you wanted and you’re all excited to register it and get started! The device sets a goal of walking 10,000 steps per day; and this seems intuitive because that’s what everyone else talks about right? “Gotta get those 10,000 steps in!” It also helps that the number 10,000 just...
Posture Series #6: Lower Body Compensation
Jul 31, 2018
Everybody compensates to one degree or another. As humans we are essentially wired to be just a little bit stronger on one side, a little more flexible on another, etc. When I see someone who has slight imbalances I am not generally concerned – it’s to be expected and in certain cases (depending on a client’s job, sport, or lifestyle activities)...

As humans we are essentially wired to be just a little bit stronger on one side, a little more flexible on another, etc. When I see someone who has slight imbalances I am not generally concerned – it’s to be expected and in certain cases (depending on a client’s job, sport, or lifestyle activities)...
Posture Series 4: Let's Do The Twist (Or Not)
Jun 4, 2018
Yes, the title is a Chubby Checker reference. I actually got to meet him way back in my college days when I worked for Borders Books & Music – we managed to have him in for a record signing event and all day we were playing his music over the store stereo. There was one point where one of my co-workers told me to “do the twist” and while I had...

Back pain (more specifically lower back pain, or LBP) is a very debilitating and common condition that many Americans suffer from. It is estimated that over 80% of all Americans will experience a bout of LBP at some point in their lives, and doctors from a variety of disciplines see over 6 million patients a year with chronic back pain. Anyone who has ever thrown...
Posture Series #2: What's Up With An Elevated Hip?
Apr 3, 2018
Yes, the pun in the title was intentional – and if you’re groaning and shaking your head feel free to reach out and complain :D In the meantime, for the benefit of those who may not have seen my first posture series article, here is my copy-and-pasted caveat regarding asymmetries: Everyone is asymmetrical, but not always in the same ways. Let’s...
Do You Have Tilted Shoulders?
Mar 6, 2018
Before I get into helping you answer that question, I want to preface this article by saying that everyone is asymmetrical, but not always in the same ways.
