Vancouver personal training for everyone. Get fit with one-on-one core training based in Kitsilano, Vancouver.
Are you incorporating power training into your fitness routine? If not, I highly recommend you start. Power training can elevate your workout, offering numerous benefits that extend beyond traditional strength training.
In this blog post, we will explore what power training is, why it is beneficial, and how to safely incorporate it into your exercise regimen.
As we age, our body naturally becomes stiffer, which can increase the risk of falls. Maintaining good mobility, particularly in the ankles, is a key aspect of fall prevention.
In this post, we’ll focus on how improving ankle mobility can enhance stability and keep you moving confidently.
Maintaining strength and fitness is crucial at every stage of life, especially as you age. For individuals in their 50s, understanding key strength benchmarks can help you gauge your overall health and performance.
In Part 1, we introduced Upper Cross Syndrome and its postural effects. Here, we’ll examine how strength and endurance training affect posture correction, and why endurance-based exercises are better suited for addressing UCS.
Falls are a significant concern as we age, often resulting in injuries that can impact independence and quality of life. Preventing falls starts with understanding how our body maintains balance and incorporating effective exercises into our routine.
In this post, we’ll explore the importance of building strength—specifically in the gluteus maximus—and how it plays a crucial role in balance and fall prevention.
Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS) is a common postural condition caused by an imbalance between tight and elongated muscles in the upper body. Often leading to a kyphotic (rounded upper back) posture, UCS can result in discomfort and mobility issues if left unaddressed. Correcting this condition requires a thoughtful approach to training.
In this two-part series, we’ll explore the importance of understanding UCS and how endurance-based training can effectively improve posture.
As sedentary lifestyles become increasingly common, the need for simple and effective exercise interventions has never been greater.
This blog post explores the findings of a study that compares the effects of different sit-to-stand training programs on muscle architecture and function in sedentary adults. Additionally, we delve into the technique of the squat sit-to-stand exercise, highlighting its benefits and necessary precautions.
Rotational movements are essential for core strength and overall functionality, but they must be performed with care to avoid undue stress on the lumbar spine.
In this post, we’ll discuss five rotational exercises that prioritize spinal health while building strength and stability.
