Throughout the fitness journey many people will encounter time constraints, missed workouts, extra recovery, program changes and it’s all expected because its inevitable. Well one way that I help keep myself accountable is by using the amount of time I have to determine the amount of exercises.

Stress, the physical or mental response to external causes like overwhelming work assignments or difficult life moments, can add unnecessary pressure to your day to day.

When it comes to your circulatory and cardiovascular system there is one muscle group that is heavily overlooked and unproperly trained, the calf muscle. Your heart gets assistance from the calf muscle by helping pump blood back up the body in order to help get it recycled. Which always means that even with simple walking you can drastically improve your health. However some people still aren’t getting enough oxygen. I have an easy and effective solution.

A walk is not just good for your body, it’s also good for your soul. Physical activity, like walking, is one of the best ways to reduce stress and boost your mood. However, reports show walking rates are declining steadily in the United States.

No matter what your goal, having stronger hips and core will always be foundational throughout your life. Inactivity, for example, can cause a wide variety of issues in the hips. Over activity without quality recovery can to lead to the same issue. Having a quality sense of balance is important but also requires good foundational movement patterns.

Everyone wants to have a stronger core, but no one is doing enough mobility. I’ve mentioned before that primal core strength yields distal joint strength, so to help your joints you absolutely need a better core.
