Your feet are POWERFUL

Today we are talking about YOUR FEET! If you have ever been coached by me then you’ve probably heard me say

“Push through your feet”

“Push the ground away”

“Tree frog feet, grip the ground with your toes”

Let me show you what I mean! In this video I’m demonstrating what it looks like when you roll onto the sides of your feet or take the weight off your heels. You lose SO much strength and power when you don’t start with locking your feet in.

This is no different for many upper body lifts. Create a strong stable base and watch how much stronger your lifts feel. Let me know if this helps!

Payson Center for Cancer Care Charity Training

We are so excited to partner with the Payson Center for Cancer Care and put on an insane event to raise money for one of the most respected organizations in NH. I guarantee every single one of you knows someone who has spent time in their care.

This event has a bit of a twist!

The cost of this event is $10 and 100% of your donations will go straight to the Payson Center. Get Fit NH is not participating in the Rock N Race this year so INSTEAD, we are going to donate $500 to the most represented team in attendance on Saturday, April 15th!

The Rock n Race is a HUGE community event put together by the Payson Center to raise money.

We will also have a surprise donation opportunity the day of the event for everyone in attendance. We want to FILL the gym with excitement!

Let us know you're coming by responding this event and commenting the name of your team!

Get Fit NH Sculpting Results

For the last 5 years Sarah has been one of my best friends, my office manager at Get Fit NH and she is now joining me in my pursuit to grow the Sculpting side of Get Fit NH.

This adventure took off WAY hotter than I expected and there was no way I’d be able to sustain the demand so Sarah is now fully certified and ready to rock!

We are only taking on SIX new clients (each) for the next 6 weeks! Once those spots are full we will add a waitlist for the next round. This is to be sure we have enough openings for everyone who in treatment. This means full results just in time for SUMMER👏

3 Must Try Core Exercises

Who doesn't love a good core challenge?

 Here are 3 of my favorite core exercises to add to the end of my workout

 * Medball Hollow Body Tosses x 10 reps

* Medball V Ups x10

* Medball leg lifts x10

 **Bonus if you can transition one to the next with no break**

 Repeat x3 

The best exercise to protect your back when lifting

The number one concern when clients start lifting is keeping their back safe! Good news, that is also OUR main concern. That's why we do exercises that teach you how to engage your core. That translates into major lifts like deadlifts, squats, and even push-ups and pull-ups! 


Coach Chloe helps me demonstrate how to set up and brace in a deadbug. The video below is a super cute video, but let me make sure I get my point across here. 

 When you set up in a deadbug:

 *Your entire body is locked in. Like if I walked by and pushed you in one direction or the other your body would tip over together

 *If I pulled on your leg or arm, I shouldn’t be able to move it freely

 * Your ribs are tucked so hard that if I came and pushed on your abdomen it would be rock solid

 It’s easy to be passive through a deadbug, but they are probably one of the best exercises to teach you how to brace and engage which carries over to all major lifts. If you want to keep your back safe when you lift, then you better take deadbugs seriously! Check out the video below 

Muscle Soreness Does Not Equal Results

Have you ever had one of those workouts that left you feeling drenched in sweat, slightly nauseous, and oddly accomplished?

Yeah me too. They suck while you’re doing them, but they give you this odd sense of accomplishment when it’s over. Often times your body feels a little beat up or extra sore the next few days and that validates a job well done and results, right?

Well, not quite. Don’t get me wrong, those workouts have their place. They are fine to do sometimes, but our goal at Get Fit NH is to give you great training that you can recover from.

Why is that?

Let’s break it down to really understand the results.  The 80-10-10 rule…

10% of the time you come in and you annihilate the training. You hit a PR, the weights feel light, and you’re just on fire

10% of the time you are massively dragging. Like you totally bribed yourself to get to the gym, you slug through, every weight feels like a cinder block and quite frankly, you’re just going through the motions…but you did it.

80% of the time though…this is where results live. 80% of the time you come in, you put your best foot forward, you leave and you come back recovered so you can do it again. Consistency wins results.

Do you think if you have training after training of PRs or barely being able to walk or laying on the floor trying not to puke you would come back feeling recovered and ready to hit another training? I’ll give a hard no on that one. It feels good to get a tough training in every now and then and see how your consistent effort is paying off, but it’s not sustainable in the long-term game.

On the flip side, make the most out of the time you are here. Understanding that not all days will be your best and some days you may be low energy, but those shouldn’t be most days. If it is most days then make sure you grab a coach so we can talk about external factors that may be affecting your performance. Nutrition, sleep, and stress management all play a role in results.
