Got knee pain?

There are ways to load and work the quads without squats and split squats

Avoiding knee dominant exercise for life because your knees hurt is not going to help you in the long run. You need those babies to support you as you age and if we don’t load your quads then how are you going to have the strength to do stairs? How are you going to get up off the toilet? How are you going to kneel down or get on the ground to play your grandchildren?

No one wants to work through pain and that’s certainly not what we are about here Get Fit NH. We are about keeping you from becoming deconditioned and finding ways to stay strong.

These are just few examples of what we could do. The list goes on and on.

If you have arthritis, you should be strength training

If you have constant pain, you should be strength training to you current capability.

If you have inexplicable pain and you’ve just chalked up to “being old” then I challenge you to see Fit for Life Physical Therapy, LLC or Back in Action Chiropractors NH, LLC

Skaters are an incredible exercise that is often eye-rolled as a throwaway exercise. 

 They have important benefits like

• Balance
• Speed
• Power
• Coordination

The intensity of how we perform skaters matters immensely. Check out this quick video to show you how to get the most out of your skaters

Ever seen the people doing front planks for several hours?

#1 I bet they’re not fully engaged and getting the most out of the exercise

#2 Who the heck has time for that?

Check out a few ways to make your front plank more challenging and effective without spending 4 hours in position.

Have you ever heard of a rib tuck or a hip tuck? 

If you have trained with us for a while then you have probably heard us say that a bunch, but what does it mean and why does it matter?

Get your ribs and your hips in a neutral and strong position translates to every lift and teaches you how to brace your core. 

In this video, I am demonstrating in a palloff press, but it is just as important in exercises like a hammer curl and shoulder press. 

Learning and PRACTICING bracing your core translates into major lifts and life in general!

Today I’m clearing the air!

We hear clients, social media peeps and just people in general talk about exercises being “right” or “wrong”

I am not on board with this in most cases. There are SO MANY different ways to do THE SAME exercise. In this video, I’m showing an example with the single leg deadlift. This is just one example, but the same goes for plenty of different exercises.

Changing the position or the load distribution can make for different engagement, but it doesn’t make it right or wrong.

Often times when we coach a client or if we show a different way to do something they say, “I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time.”

FALSE!

There are definitely ways to perform an exercise unsafe and that’s where your coaches come in to save the day. But small tweaks or changing position doesn’t mean you were doing it wrong. It just means we can make it a little better AND just because we give you a small tweak today doesn’t mean that last week it wasn’t spot on! Training variables are endless

Keep going

Seasons change, and roles change, but the passion remains…

I was feeling nostalgic as Get Fit NH turned 15 years old on Monday. I walked through the door 11 years ago knowing NOTHING. Nothing about business and no idea how to coach another human. I just knew that there was a fire inside of me and I wanted other people to feel better, move better and live a healthier, more independent lifestyle.

11 years ago, Dean Carlson took a chance on me. He wasn’t hiring and he didn’t need me, but he hired me anyway working only 6-8 hours per week. That 6-8 hours turned into 20 and 20 turned into 40 and 40 turned into ownership which any entrepreneur will tell you is 24/7. But it’s ok because it doesn’t feel like work.

Nostalgia also brought guilt. Let me explain…

11 years ago I was 22 years old. No kids. Life was very different. I was coaching as much as possible and I was even here when I didn’t need to be. I wanted to. Then I had 3 babies in a matter of 4 years which really changed my flexibility and availability, but I was still coaching 3-4 days per week. Then I became a single mom to 3 children 6 and under. I was buried trying to coach, run the business, navigate through Covid, be a mom, and also be a decent human. I couldn’t do it all and so my days on the floor scaled way back. Luckily, we have a team of incredible coaches who make it so I don’t have the think twice about how they’re being treated, but for ME it is hard to be on the bench.

But this is just a season. We all go through seasons of life and changes in roles and needs. Just know that even though my role is mainly from the coaching sidelines, I’m still unbelievably grateful, proud, and passionate. I can’t imagine doing anything else.

This is life for everyone. Your day-to-day may look different in a new role or season, but find something that fulfills you and makes you proud.

This 45 second video explains it all!

Farmer Carries, total love/hate relationship.

So many benefits

*Excellent core exercise ESPECIALLY unilateral variations where anti flexion is involved. When a heavy weight is pulling you down, what muscles have to work hard to remain upright???

* Fabulous for improving grip strength which translates into heavier deadlifts and stronger pull ups

*Incredible exercise to improve posture Those are some of the less obvious benefits, but truly, farmer carries are a full body exercise. There are a TON of variations. Check it out…
