Everyone needs to be held accountable. Especially in a team setting. Make it your purpose this #MotivationMonday to hold your teammates accountable.

The key to making a filling and nutritionally balanced smoothie is to include all of the food groups and some extra flavor to top it off. What's your favorite smoothie combo?

Have you ever paired up a mobility exercise with a band? Depending on the line of pull, it can help aid the effectiveness of the mobility exercise. A banded lateral distraction to a pigeon stretch will give you the extra stretch you have been looking for.

Here's one of our athletes working on a Band Reach Lateral Lunge. This is a great foundational exercise to teach the correct position in a lateral lunge that can translate to lateral strength and power!

Why be just average? Here at Impact we train athletes of all different levels, but push you to be great no matter what. If our athletes put in the maximum effort, they will be great #Motivation

We have been through some unprecedented times this past year. Although the training atmosphere has slightly changed, we have learned to accept it and embrace it! #MotivationalMonday

Let's talk about #injuryprevention. Our athletes are doing a trap smash here. This is a self-massaging technique that helps maintain soft tissue mobility.

Magnesium, just like sodium and potassium is lost through sweat during exercise. Magnesium helps you to exercise and build muscle more effectively, so it's important to consume enough magnesium rich foods daily. The recommendation dietary allowance (RDA) is 350-400mg daily, but athletes likely require more. Good food sources include veggies, legumes, fish, nuts, chocolate and whole grains.
