What’s your WHY? Your WHY needs to be so important that nothing will stop you in achieving your goal. Your WHY needs to be deep, meaningful, and stronger than any desire to stop. Have you seen the new Christmas commercial with the old man lifting a kettlebell? If you haven’t, go checkout our stories. His is a real WHY. Losing weight, gaining muscle, exercising 5 days a week, cutting out alcohol... those are small little goals that are good, but may not be strong enough when you’re tired, surrounded by sweets, or looking to skip a day at the gym. Dig deep and think about why that goal is important to you. That’s when you’ll truly commit.

We are so glad that you love our gym as much as we do! Thanks, Greg, for your kind words.

Surgeons love to cut. There is a time and a place where surgery is necessary, and a time and a place where it is the best option. But it is FAR less often than we think or are told. Surgeons love to cut, and they are going to recommend surgery over anything else. Your second and third opinion should be from someone that isn't a surgeon. Healthcare professionals often call the alternative to surgery "conservative care". We don't like calling what we... do conservative. Yes, we are not cutting you open, but we are taking an aggressive approach to your health. We are going to assess your joints, look at your movement, evaluate your unilateral strength, test your strength balance, determine your work load and capacity, and there is nothing conservative about it. We are going to address your pain from a global perspective, not a local one. We are going to look at how you move your entire body, how you eat, how you sleep, and how you are feeling on a day to day basis. We are aggressive in our approach to get you out of pain, and it works. Schedule a FREE INTRO today. See more

"Once you pop, the fun don't stop." - Can you name that product? They literally tell you, in their slogan, that you won't be able to stop eating them once you start! Fast foods have been engineered to trigger your pleasure centers, so they trick your brain into overeating even promoting food addiction in some people. They’re usually low in fiber, protein, and micronutrients but high in unhealthy ingredients like added sugar and refined grains. This is why, even after a... full meal, you may feel hungry shortly afterward. Instead, focus on eating whole foods. Often times, you can still find them at convenience stores. Look for cheese, hard-boiled eggs, cut veggies, yogurt, and fruit cups. See more

If you scroll through social media, you are bound to see hundreds or even thousands of posts about FAD diets marketed to promote rapid weight loss. A FAD Diet becomes popular for a time by promising to solve all your weight loss problems. They might even CLAIM to be a "lifestyle change," when in reality it's still a quick fix. Here are 3 Signs you're following a FAD Diet:... 1. It is very restrictive. Maybe you're cutting out carbs or fats. Maybe you've eliminated sugar or dairy or gluten. Spoiler: Unless you are medically unable to eat something, it's not realistic to cut something out of your diet forever, and you probably won't. 2. You're replacing whole foods with supplements. There's no such thing as a superfood shake. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my chocolate protein powder. It's delicious, it makes me feel good because it's sweet, and I enjoy it after a workout, but it's not magic. If you're replacing whole foods with vitamins, juices, shakes, or bars, you're following a FAD diet. 3. You're promised a quick fix. 15 pounds in 3 weeks? Sure, it might be possible. But it's probably water weight and/or muscle mass. A more realistic goal is 1% body fat in 4 weeks.

Snow shoveling is pretty tough on many people's bodies and lower back because it involves a combination of heavy lifting and rotating unilaterally for high reps! Hit this routine 1-3x before heading out today! https://onelifestrong.com/daily-lower-back-routine-warmup/

What the diet culture says works versus what actually works. The diet industry can be so prevalent that millions of people fall prey to fad diets and bogus weight-loss products. But the truth is that there are no foods or pills that magically burn fat, and no products will miraculously melt the fat away.... You need to stick with the basics. Eating whole foods, being mindful of portion sizes, getting adequate sleep, stress management, consistency, and daily movement aren’t flashy but they work!

Let’s break some beliefs together... . You have a rotator cuff tear, that’s why your shoulder hurts: . It may surprise you to learn that many of your friends who do not have shoulder pain, probably have rotator cuff tears too. It’s often not the tear that hurts but the compensation you develop to deal with the weakness when the tear originally occurred.... . How to fix it: Stop trying to strengthen a muscle that you think is weak, and identify patterns of weakness, strengthen those, the pain takes care of itself. . You have biceps tendinitis, that’s why it hurts: . We call this a garbage can diagnosis. It catches everything, gives you something to tell people to justify, and isn’t true. Many muscles insert where your biceps tendon is, they are often the culprit, the biceps gets the blame. . What to do: Tempo Tempo Tempo. Tendons (whichever they are) love tempo. 3:0:4:0. RPE8, 15 reps, 3 sets, 2x/week. Pain must not exceed 5/10. . Arthritis dude. . Usually this indicates a change in the shape of your joint. It hurts to move through various positions. You don’t have to be in pain. . What to do: Identify ranges of motion you have. Strengthen them. Identify ranges of motion you don’t have, spend time, uncomfortable, in your end range (10 minutes/day). . credit: activeliferx . Was this helpful?
