Farmers carry is one of the most functional exercises we can perform. We are always picking things up, carrying and placing them down. We train these to help with real life tasks such as groceries, babies, yard work, etc.
It’s important to train fundamental movements that mimic daily activities!

We want to give a big shoutout to Coach Dylan for obtaining his Level 2 strength and conditioning certification and Coach Tyler obtaining his Level 1 strength and conditioning certification! They are both very excited to apply what they have learned through this continued education to better coach you all!

BRACE YOURSELF because I’m about to make your life so much better!!!
I found a DRY spaghetti squash with spaghetti squash as the ONE ingredient! It cooks in about 5 minutes. I came across this by accident scrolling through Walmart app. I was looking for frozen spaghetti squash and then THIS came up and I decided to give it a go!
It’s so good, the consistency is normal and even better than the frozen version.
I’m a busy person and lazy when it comes to cooking. I like to be prepped as quickly as I can, so there is NO chance I’m cooking an actual spaghetti squash and scraping out the noddles. No, no, and NO thanks!
I added some marinara sauce and chopped up some Shady Brook Farm turkey sausage. This meal was delish! 10/10 recommend. Let me know if you try it and thank me later!

Arms straight is beneficial for acceleration simply due to the bigger stride length.
Arms bent gives you better leverage from a more tight, compact position allowing you to push heavier loads due to a shorter stride/range of motion, giving you a mechanical advantage.
Yes it’s possible to push heavy loads with arms straight, but the key is to maintain a neutral spine, most people end up dropping their neck and rounding their back to use their bodyweight as an advantage to push.
Key Takeaways:
Check out this note we got from one of our ten year clients! This guy is SUPER active. His extracurriculars include skiing, biking and adventuring with his two active dogs.
This client is retired and has been for many years, but through many working years and now through retirement he has stayed consistent in his strength training.
This client trained with us leading up to each one of these surgeries and strength training was an essential part of his post rehab recovery.

Kids are back in school and now that means..
Just all became really overwhelming.
I am living it with you! This month I had a TON of clients talk to me about how overwhelmed they are with all of it and I am here to talk you off the ledge and hopefully share some tips and tricks to make it a little less chaotic.
I am a single mom with three kids in two different schools and two different sports on the same days in two different locations. When I tell you I know, trust me....I know. I get it and the key to it all is always PLANNING, but hear me out...
First step..
Chances are, you have a phone calendar that you use. Having it in front of you and everyone else will create more conversation and reminders, thus helping you PLAN better for the upcoming days.
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
This does not apply to parents with older kids, but last week I had A LOT of conversations with parents who were feeling overwhelmed. Systems are EVERYTHING, organization and planning are key components to getting your feed underneath you and feeling successful and stress free.
If you have a partner to help you with these things then normalize talking about it! Use a different color marker on your marker board to customize who is responsible for what or bringing who where.
Check out the video below to see it all in action to include what I eat in a day and how this all plays out in real time.
