20 min workout!

Wanting to mix up your cardio? Try this 20 workout.

Make sure you are good and warmed up. This doesn’t mean you did two arm circles and a few hip rotations.  Get a good sweat going.

Run (as fast as you can) for 2 min

Jump Rope for 1 min

Kettle Bell swings (see below) 1 min

Sit-ups for 1 min.

Do this 4 time. Make sure you are giving an all-out effort.

Enjoy Life - Workout!

Back Pain?

Client: My back hurts.

Me: Stretch your hamstrings.

Client: You are obviously not listening.

Actually I am. Remember that everything is connected. Tight hamstrings cause the hip and pelvis to rotate back, which flattens the back and causes pain. This will also have an obvious impact on your posture.

The easiest fix is to focus on stretching out your hamstrings on a regular basis. Both dynamic stretching (Yoga, walking lunges, leg swings) and static stretching (sit and reach) with improve flexibility.

Here are a couple examples that I feel work the best.

Try both of these every day for two weeks and see if your back feels better!
