It takes a force couple of 3 muscles to lift your arm overhead properly. So, let’s wake them up! These touchdowns work a couple muscles that tend to get weak on us. Ps: These are hard— You can do them without the resistance band too!

For my golfers and my friends that sit all day! We know hip and mid back stiffness affect the golf swing. We also know it can contribute to regular ‘ole low back pain . This is another awesome exercise to get everything moving while also turning on the glutes and core! Try as many as you like!

Kettlebell vs dumbbell? In addition to providing weight for resistance, kettlebells are made with unevenly distributed weight throughout. Why is this awesome? This causes the body to work extra hard to counterbalance the weight and stabilize, engaging more core and activating balance systems than you probably would with just a dumbbell! 

Who: Just about anyone. Pre or post-surgery, chronic pain + weakness, athletes, tendinopathies, etc.
What: Intermittent occlusion of blood flow using a tourniquet. This creates gains in muscle strength + size with low intensity exercise.
When: 1-3 times/week
Why: Create strength gains without stressing joints or soft tissue structures. 
How: 20-30 minutes of exercise with tourniquet cuffs on.
