Getting stronger requires you to consistently push yourself with your workouts while also staying safe and injury-free.
Many people often sacrifice one of these two for the other–they either push themselves really hard and completely disregard how well their body is recovering or they lean so far towards staying safe that they never challenge themselves.
While we have spent many episodes talking about how to avoid the former pitfall, there is something we haven't ever discussed about avoiding the latter that will have a huge influence on how strong you get.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into this topic to unveil one of the easiest and most effective ways you can get stronger.
If you have been putting in the time to hit the gym each week but aren't getting the results you want, this one thing likely is missing from the equation for you.
Once you add it in, though, your strength can take off.

More information is rarely helpful when it comes to building your health and strength.
Instead of falling into the trap of "paralysis by analysis", taking massive action on the basic things that get you 80% of the way to your goal is far more beneficial for most people.
However, there are two groups of people who often do benefit from getting more information.
Why does more information help these two groups but hinders most people?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is exactly what we are discussing.
We lay out why information overload is killing your progress, how to overcome it, and when you may actually benefit from getting more information on your body.
If you have been dragging your feet getting started because you have been waiting for the perfect time or circumstances, listen up!
This episode will be the fire you need to take control of your health and workouts despite not having all the pieces to the puzzle.

With Muscle Activation Techniques®, meeting frequently early on is extremely helpful to build a solid foundation and correct a lot of underlying issues.
However, once that foundation is built and your body is feeling stronger and more mobile, there is something that is more important than meeting frequently to help you maintain these results.
While frequency is a big piece of the puzzle if you want to continue to progress your strength and function, there is something that takes precedence over frequency once you switch to a maintenance plan with your MAT.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are unveiling what this one thing is and explaining why it is so important.
If you have ever wondered if MAT is like many other things where you need to keep getting it done every week for the rest of forever, listen up!
This conversation will answer that question for you once and for all.

One of the most common stories out there is that the pain you feel indicates where your underlying issues are.
Elbow hurts? Elbow issue.
Back is painful? Back issue.
Knee aches? Knee issue.
As easy as this story is to follow, it is largely untrue.
Fortunately, though, there are indicators that are a lot more telling about where your underlying issues actually are.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into the one that, in our opinion, gives the clearest information about what is going on with your body and how to resolve it.
If you have ever been caught on the hamster wheel of, "My symptoms are here so that's where my issues are," listen up!
What we share in this conversation can provide a huge perspective shift to get you going in the right direction.

Does your body feel like it is breaking down?
Maybe your knee feels achy, your back feels tight, or your shoulders are pinchy.
Or maybe it just feels like you are "getting old".
A lot of times, when people feel this way, they are hesitant to exercise intensely–or exercise at all.
But, truth be told, exercising at a low intensity may actually be causing your body to break down faster.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are explaining why this is and how we recommend increasing your exercise intensity while making sure you stay safe.
If you have been resistant to exercising intensely because of how your body feels, this conversation will give you the confidence you need to start ramping up your workouts to build your strength and function without feeling achy, sore, or injured.

Your body has two types of fences that dictate how well it can move.
While some people may be very mobile through their hips and knees, other people may be very mobile in their back and shoulders.
And some people, no matter how hard they try, seem to never be able to improve their mobility, while other people just need a little nudge and their body completely opens up.
Much of these scenarios are determined by the metaphorical fences that we are discussing on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast.
What are these fences and how can you use this information to help your body move better?
This conversation will lay out exactly what you need to know.

There are three things that must be present in order for you to workout consistently.
If you are struggling to consistently workout, one of these three things is guaranteed to be missing.
What are these three "musts" and how can you implement them into your day?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is exactly what we are discussing.
We break down what each "must" is, why it is important, and what changes you need to make in order to have it be part of your routine.
If you know you need to be working out and you want to workout but you aren't doing so on a regular basis, at least one of these "musts" is missing from your life.
This conversation will help you identify which one it is and give you the plan to put it back in.

You don't need a new workout routine to get better results from your workouts.
You just need to switch a couple things about HOW you are doing your workouts.
In fact, you can do the exact same exercises you are currently doing, with the same sets and reps, the same workouts times and times per week, and simply by changing these two things, you will get better results from your workouts.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are detailing out what these two things are and how to use them in your workouts.
If you are already putting in the effort to get your workouts in and want better results without needing to workout harder or more often, listen up!
These two easy things are the pathway to do just that.

Consistently exercising and getting Muscle Activation Techniques® are two of the most important things you can do for your strength and health overall.
While there are many benefits that can be experienced soon after you get started with each, there are some unique benefits that you are more likely to experience once you have been consistent for about 12 months.
And, one of these benefits in particular is often the most impactful on your strength and function.
What is this big benefit and why should it matter to you?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is exactly what we are discussing.
We are diving into what this benefit is, why it takes so long to be experienced, and why it is important to get to the place where you can experience it.
If you have ever wondered why we are so big on maintaining consistency with your MAT and strength training, this conversation unveils a huge piece of the equation.

How soon after your Muscle Activation Techniques® session can you exercise?
Many clients want to keep up their regular workout routine while getting their muscles tuned up with MAT, but how long after a session should you wait to workout again?
While working out–and strength training in particular–are certainly an important part of maintaining healthy, strong muscles, exercising too soon after your MAT session can actually prevent you from getting the results you want with MAT.
So how soon is too soon?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is the exact question we are answering.
If you have ever tried to figure out the timing between your MAT dsessions and your workouts and want to know how long between each you should wait, this conversation will clear that up for you.

What determines how successful you are at getting the results you want from your workouts?
While a lot of people push different workout strategies, nutrition plans, and recovery routines to get results, we have found that there is one thing above all else that has the biggest influence on your results.

If you feel like you have not been getting the results you want from your workouts, it is highly likely that you are missing this one variable.
This conversation will change that for you.

What do you do when your body feels off?
Maybe you have a nagging pain that just isn't going away.
Or maybe you woke up feeling like you, once again, "slept wrong".
Or maybe you just feel like your entire body is wading through thick mud today–heavy, lethargic, fatigued…
What do you do when you have a day–or a week or a month–like this?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are discussing what we recommend almost everybody default to doing when they are feeling off in these ways.
While there are many promoted remedies and plans for fixes, we have seen time and again that skipping past the information overwhelm and instead taking this one action makes a huge difference in the right direction for most people.

It is rare for us to speak in absolutes. Typically, we try to leave room for nuance and individual considerations.
But, there is one stance that we feel 100% certain about…
Stronger is always better.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into what we mean by this; why we believe this to be true 100% of the time; and what this means for you, your workouts, and your body.
If you have ever thought to yourself, "I don't know if I should be exercising right now because I have _____ issue going on," listen up!
We lay it out for you as simply as we can as to why you absolutely need to still be strengthening.

What happens when you stop strength training?
Many people who are active in their teens and twenties slow down their strength training by the time they hit their thirties, but what does this mean for their body?
How long can you expect to hold onto the strength you have built and how quickly will your body regress once it starts to lose strength?
And, once you are on the downward slope of losing strength, is there a way to get back to the strength levels you were at before?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are answering all of these questions and more.
If you have taken some time away from strength training, this conversation can be a look into the crystal ball of what you can expect to happen to your body in the years to come as well as provide a practical plan to flatten out the downward slope as much as possible.

How strong your muscles are is distinctly different from how connected your muscles are, and both are absolutely essential to living an active life in a body that feels good.
While most people may only be focusing on one aspect or the other, we see time and again that when clients start focusing on BOTH, their ability to live life on their terms improves dramatically.
But what exactly is the difference between muscle strength and muscle connection and why is each so necessary to your overall wellbeing?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, that is exactly what we are discussing.
We are diving into what we mean by muscle strength and muscle connection, why you need to be focusing on both throughout your week, and practical steps you can take to improve each.

Some of the biggest fans of Muscle Activation Techniques® are people who had such a dramatic change after one session that they are convinced that is all it takes.
While these types of sessions do happen, the truth is that it is mostly dumb luck when they do.
Unfortunately, believing the hype that you only need one session for MAT to fix everything leaves a lot of people frustrated with MAT when they don't have that same experience.
Instead, there is one thing we have seen time and again have a huge influence on how successful somebody is with MAT.
And, when you know what this one thing is before you start MAT, you can dramatically improve the likelihood of getting the successful outcome you want.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are discussing what this one thing is and why it is so important to understand if you are getting MAT.
If you started doing MAT because somebody told you it only took them one session to have everything fixed, listen up!
There is a crucial part of this story you need to know in order to give you the best chance of success with MAT.

Stretching is the most common way to loosen up tight muscles, but there's a big problem–it doesn't help you STAY loose.
Sure, stretching can create a short-term feeling of looseness, but it doesn't actually keep the tightness away.
In fact, the tightness often comes back more intense than before, which traps many people in a cycle of feeling tight, stretching, creating short-term relief, and then feeling tight all over again.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into why this is and what needs to be done instead.
If you have ever found yourself on the "tight/loose rollercoaster" of stretching, listen up!
There is something that stretching misses that will keep you feeling that way indefinitely unless you change your actions.

Total body strength training is something we recommend to almost all of our clients.
Time and again we have seen this to be an effective and efficient way to build strength, but how total body strength training is portrayed by mainstream fitness gives the absolute wrong impression of what actually needs to be done.
In fact, what we recommend for total body strength training is a complete 180 to what is commonly thought of as total body strength training.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into what we mean by total body strength training, why it is so effective compared to what the mainstream fitness industry promotes as total body, and how to easily implement it into your workout routine.
If you are looking for a simple way to strengthen your muscles, total body strength training is a must.
We explain exactly what this is and how to do it in this conversation.

There is a lot of information out there about what it takes to get stronger and this is something we have spoken about often, as well.
What isn't talked about too much, though, is what the actual process of getting stronger looks like how quickly you should expect to see strength gains, how long those strength gains will go on for, etc.
Unfortunately, there is one big misconception about the process of increasing your muscle strength that deters a lot of people from continuing to try even when they are making progress.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into this misconception and unveiling the truth about what actually happens during the strengthening process.
If you have ever felt discouraged that you weren't doing the right things because of seeing your numbers in the weight room fluctuate, listen up!
There is something you aren't being told by the mainstream fitness industry that will clear all of this up for you.

Muscle strength is often measured by the amount of weight that you can lift, but did you know there is actually an earlier indication that your muscles are getting stronger?
This early marker is one of the first things we see improve with many of our clients, and without realizing how important of a sign it is, it is really easy to overlook.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health podcast, we are diving into what this early marker is, why it is so important, and how to recognize it within yourself.
If you have ever wondered if making strength gains means more than just seeing your weight room numbers increase, listen up!
What we share in this conversation will give you confidence that you are making progress much sooner than expected.

Muscle Activation Techniques® (MAT) is one of the most effective ways to calm down muscle- and joint-related symptoms, but its power doesn't end there.
Once your symptoms are addressed and you are feeling well, it is time to move to the next stage of MAT, and this is where things get taken to a whole new level.
And, when you make that jump with MAT to level up your body, the progress from one session to the next can look different than when you were simply having symptoms addressed.
While this progression catches a lot of people off guard, it is actually a really good sign from your body, and on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into why this is and what is happening with your body at these new levels.
If you have ever wondered if MAT is only useful for addressing symptoms, listen up!
There is a whole world of possibilities that you get access to when you start to level up your MAT, and that's exactly what we are telling you about in this conversation.

Challenging your body is a non-negotiable if you want to build strength and get results with your workouts.
Often, increasing the challenge means increasing the amount of weight you use when you strength train.
However, many people are hesitant to increase their weights and lift heavier out of fear of injuring themselves.
So, how can you actually lift as heavy as you need to in order to get the results you want while still staying safe during your workouts?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are doing a deep dive on what needs to happen during your workouts to toe this line of "lift as heavy as you can while maintaining as low of a risk for injury as possible".
If you know you need to start challenging yourself more during your workouts but aren't sure how to do so without hurting yourself, listen up!
What we share in this conversation is must-know information.

Your body is constantly talking to you when you workout, and how you interpret what it is saying will have a big impact on the results you get from your workouts.
Oftentimes, when somebody's body tells them they don't like a specific exercise through aches or pains, that can be justification to not do the exercise, but this can be a huge mistake!
Avoiding an exercise entirely because of an ache or pain can be a surefire way to limit your strength and mobility, so how do you make sure you are respecting what your body is saying while still helping it get stronger and more mobile?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing a framework that we teach our clients to help determine whether what they are feeling means we need to stop an exercise or whether we can keep going forward.
This "red flags" framework will help you navigate all the signals your body sends you when you workout to decide whether you are going in the right direction or you need to change course so you don't get injured.
If you have ever felt frustrated because it seems like every exercise you do hurts so you just avoid them altogether, listen up!
This conversation can change how you use that "hurting" information during your workouts to make better decisions for your body so you can keep getting stronger without injury.

Do you find yourself on the tight/loose rollercoaster with stretching?

Are you working out consistently but find that your body keeps feeling achier and more beat up?
If exercise is supposed to leave us feeling healthier and stronger, why does it often seem to have the opposite effect?
Truth be told, there are two distinct types of exercise, and if you are only doing one of them, the results can take a compounding toll on your body.
However, once you start to implement the other type of exercise, all of that can quickly change.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing what these two types of exercise are, what the difference is between them, and how to know if you are doing one versus the other.
If you want to use your workouts to set you up for living a long life in a body that feels healthy and strong, listen up!
What we share in the conversation is a huge piece of the puzzle to doing exactly that.

“Functional training” is a term often used by the fitness industry to describe ways of exercising that look like they improve people’s ability to perform everyday activities.
Key phrase… “that look like”.
Because when it comes down to it, most forms of “functional training” actually do the exact opposite.
But that does not mean that all ways of exercising will diminish your ability to do everyday activities.
So how can you determine if an exercise is helpful or hurtful to your efforts to keep doing the things you enjoy most and what should you be focusing on with your workouts to give you the best chance possible of staying active and independent long-term?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are diving into.
We tell you what you need to know to sift through the nonsense of the mainstream fitness industry and spend your time and energy doing the exercises that will actually move the needle for you.
If you have found yourself caught in the “functional training” craze only to find that your progress has been minimal, listen up!
What we share in this discussion can change that for you once and for all.

Muscle Activation Techniques®, or MAT, is extremely helpful at helping people recover from a number of tweaks, twinges, and injuries.
But, there is an aspect of the recovery process with MAT that is often overlooked, and this can have a HUGE influence on how fast the recovery process goes.
Over the last 14 years, we have seen that when this aspect of recovery is accounted for, the recovery process can easily be up to 20 times faster than when it is disregarded.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are unveiling what this aspect of recovery is, why it is so impactful, and what you need to know to use it to your advantage.
There is something very straightforward you can do to help your body recover faster with MAT, and this discussion brings it all to light.

If you have been trying to make progress with your strength and fitness, there have likely been some roadblocks you have hit along the way.
While we would all love progress to be a linear trajectory from the moment we start working out until the moment we stop, the truth is that progress is anything but linear.
In fact, there are three distinct stages of progress that, if you don’t realize it, can completely stop you from achieving the goals you are after with your workouts.
However, once you know what these stages are, you can better understand how to navigate each stage and see more clearly when you need to push hard and when you need to back off or change direction.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring these three distinct stages of progress and laying out what you need to know as you go through each to successfully reach your goals.
If you feel stuck with your workouts or believe that what you are doing isn’t working, listen up!
You may be getting caught in one of these three stages and metaphorically turning left when you should turn right.
This conversation will teach you exactly what you need to do to keep moving forward.

Muscle Activation Techniques®, or MAT, is the most powerful process we have come across for helping people increase their strength and mobility while reducing pain and tightness.
But, while the effects of MAT are profound, explaining it to somebody can be challenging.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are breaking down these key concepts to present MAT in a simple, straightforward way that is easy to understand.
If you have heard us speak about MAT before but aren’t completely sure what it is or how you would explain it to somebody else, listen up!
This conversation will clear that up for you once and for all.

What’s the difference between people who continue to feel strong and move well after their mid 30s and those who do not?
While everybody has hit their natural physical peak by this stage in life, there are some people who continue to progress while others start their physical decline.
For nearly a decade and a half we have seen a common trait among those who continue to thrive after the age of 35 that has become so obvious to us, but is hidden from most people.

We break down what this common trait is, what it means for you, and how you can easily integrate it into your weekly routine.

How do you know if your body needs Muscle Activation Techniques®?
While there are common signs that your muscles are not functioning well–such as certain muscles always feeling tight, flexibility being limited, joints aching, and muscles feeling weak–there are some more uncommon signs that also indicate your body needs MAT.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are highlighting three of the more unusual telltale signs that your muscles are in need of getting tuned up.
While these telltale signs don’t jump out as obvious muscle issues, the truth is that each of them is highly influenced by the strength and function of your muscles.
And, the better your muscles are functioning, the less likely you are to experience these three telltale signs.

Does your Achilles tendon ever feel tight or sore?
Too often, the attempted remedies for Achilles issues focus only on the Achilles itself, leaving much to be desired in terms of pain and symptom relief.
But, what if we told you that the symptoms in your Achilles aren’t actually indicative of an Achilles issue?
Instead, almost every single Achilles issue is actually indicative of a muscle issue.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring why this is, where the muscle issues may be stemming from, and what you can do about them.
If you have ever had an Achilles issue that took longer than you wanted to resolve, this conversation is for you!
There are simple things you can implement immediately to start getting to the root of any muscle issues that are creating your Achilles symptoms.

Do your shoulders round forward?
It is often said that forward shoulders are a result of weakness in a specific muscle group called the rhomboids, but that’s actually not true.
While the rhomboids can help to pull your shoulders back, it is extremely unlikely that them being weak will cause your shoulders to round forward.
So unlikely in fact, that we have never seen that to be the case in over 14 years of working with people who have forward shoulders.
However, we have consistently seen a number of other issues be huge contributors to forward shoulders.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what these other issues are and what you can do about them.
If you have been trying to get your shoulders to pull back and your posture to improve by strengthening your rhomboids, listen up!
There are a number of potential reasons why this approach may not be getting you the results you want.

When you lift weights, should all of the weights you use for specific areas of the body be the same?
Should you use the same amount of weight when you do leg extensions as when you do leg curls?
Or rows and chest presses?
Or squats and deadlifts?
This is a question that we get a lot, and on this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are addressing it directly.
Not only do we answer the question how it is often intended, but we answer another potential variation of it that actually has bigger implications for your strength and function overall.
If you have ever wondered if you should be using the same weights for different exercises, listen up!
This discussion will clear it up for you once and for all.

Forearm pain can be one of the most nagging, long-lasting issues you experience.
While many remedies focus strictly on the forearms themselves, there are often things that are completely overlooked with these types of approaches.
However, taking an approach that doesn’t solely focus on the forearms can actually create faster and longer-lasting relief.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring three considerations that we have found to be helpful when working through forearm pain.
If you are tired of the traditional approaches to addressing forearm pain, or if you’d like to learn what they may be missing, this conversation is for you.

One of the most important areas of your body to keep strong as you age is your hands. Your hands are something you use for almost every task throughout your day, so maintaining their strength and function as the years go by is key to being able to keep doing your daily tasks independently.
However, there are very few things that challenge most peoples’ hands during their average day, which means that their hands are getting weaker with every passing year.
So, how can you make sure to keep your hands strong and possibly build back their strength if anything has been lost?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out a plan to help you do just that.
If your hands have been feeling like they are getting weaker but you aren’t sure how to change that, listen up!
The plan we lay out can guide you through exactly what you need to do.

Do your tight IT bands keep you from working out on a regular basis?
Tight IT bands are one of the most common complaints among people who try to exercise consistently, especially when doing running and other forms of endurance exercise. They can also be one of the most debilitating, as well, stopping many otherwise active people from working out for months on end.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out specific principles for you to follow with your workouts if you have tight IT bands.
Not only will these principles help keep you active despite the IT band tightness, they can also help you get to the root of what is causing this issue.
If you feel like tight IT bands are keeping you from exercising how you want, listen up!
What we share in this discussion can finally change that for you.

Do you know the difference between rest and active recovery?
While rest is often what is thought to be needed to help your body recover and feel better, that may not always be the case.
In fact, there are many situations where active recovery is more effective than rest at getting your body back to feeling 100%.
But what exactly is active recovery, how is it different from rest, and when should you aim to use one versus the other?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, this is exactly what we are diving into.
Not only do we lay out what you need to know about both rest and active recovery, but we give you guidelines to follow to know which you should be doing.
If you have ever wondered if you should focus more on taking days completely off versus getting some light activity in to help you recover from your workouts, listen up!
This discussion has all the information you need.

Professional athletes may be known for their speed, strength, and athleticism, but there is one thing that they do differently than most non-athletes that allows them to compete and perform at their highest level year after year.
While you can look at their physical size, their young age, and their genetic gifts and think, “There’s nothing that they do that is applicable to me,” the truth is that there is a key component of their athletic success that they abide by religiously that you can 100% apply to your own life.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are unveiling what this key component is and how it applies to you.
We lay out a framework for you to follow to make sure you are able to implement this key into your own life so you can continue to perform at your highest level every single day.
If you want to feel like your body is on your side and is fully able to help you live your life, listen up!
This discussion has the information you need to implement.

Have you ever woken up with your neck feeling super stiff?Sch
This is an issue that many people experience, and while the temptation often is to massage it or stretch it out, there are some steps that you can take that we’ve found to be far more effective and impactful.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out three things you can do today if you woke up with your neck feeling stiff and achy.
Fortunately, more times than not, waking up with a stiff neck does not necessarily mean you injured yourself, but it is indicative of another issue that is likely going on.
This conversation will identify what that issue is and exactly what you can do about it.

Have you been told you have a tight psoas?
Maybe you’ve been to some type of therapist who told you you have a tight psoas. Or maybe you have done some internet searches and landed on a tight psoas as the self-diagnosed cause of your issues.
While your psoas may feel tight, the truth is that it actually isn’t the thing that is causing your symptoms, whether they be in your back, hips, knees, or elsewhere.
So what is the real issue if a tight psoas isn’t to blame?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are exploring.
We lay out all the different reasons why your psoas may be tight and why only focusing on the psoas won’t get you the long-term changes you desire, even if your symptoms change temporarily.
If you have ever been led to believe that a tight psoas was the underlying cause of your symptoms, listen up!
This discussion sheds light on information you need to implement to make changes that last.

Are your hamstrings chronically tight?
Much of the fitness and therapy worlds would lead you to believe that you need to focus more on stretching muscles, relaxing muscles, mobilizing joints, and releasing tissues; but if you have listened to our podcast for any period of time, you know that is not our take on the situation.
Too often, we have seen the former approaches creating only short-term sensation changes with minimal positive long-term effects.
So how can you get out of the never-ending cycle of stretching your hamstrings only to have them tighten up again?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the steps that we have seen be most effective over the last 14 years at helping people relieve their hamstring tightness once and for all.
If you constantly find yourself trying to loosen up your hamstrings, listen up!
What we discuss can help you change that once and for all.

Does your Achilles tendon ever bother you?
From high-level athletes in their 20s to sedentary people in their 80s and everywhere in between, Achilles issues are extremely common.
While the primary issue would appear to be the Achilles itself, there are a lot of other factors that are often overlooked with traditional therapies and strength training programs.
Unfortunately, by neglecting these other factors, people are setting themselves up to cycle through an on again, off again relationship with their Achilles issues.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the three biggest factors to consider when trying to troubleshoot Achilles issues that go beyond the feet and ankles.
If you have ever struggled with an Achilles that just would not feel well and stay well no matter what you tried, listen up.
The missing pieces we share in this discussion can take you over that hurdle and onto doing all the things you love while feeling great.

Do you have difficulty feeling your muscles squeeze when you workout?
If you have listened to our podcast at all, you likely have heard us talk about our four Exercise For Life Principles, the last of which is to focus on squeezing your muscles when you exercise.
But what if you aren’t able to do this?
What if, when you try to focus on the squeeze, you aren’t feeling any specific sensation in the muscles you are working? How can you troubleshoot this?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying why this may be happening and lay out a plan you can follow to start to sense the squeeze.
If you have ever worked out and felt just a general sensation of fatigue instead of very specific sensations of your muscles squeezing despite your best efforts, listen up!
What we share in this discussion can change that for you once and for all.

Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling like your body has gotten noticeably older?
Maybe you have some aches and pains that weren’t always there. Or maybe your strength and fitness feel like they are on the decline. Or perhaps tasks that once felt simple now feel taxing.
While most people want to chalk this up to old age and put in the bucket of “there’s nothing I can do about it”, there’s actually an underlying reason why your body is feeling this way that isn’t related to your biological age.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying what this underlying reason is and laying out what you can do about it.
If you feel like your body is feeling older with each passing day no matter what you do, listen up! What we share in this discussion can completely change that for you.

Do you have a history of hamstring injuries?
Oftentimes, the recommended step to prevent future injuries is to strengthen the hamstring.
While having hamstrings that are strong enough is part of the equation, this recommendation overlooks many of the other variables that need to be considered with hamstring injuries.
Worse yet, following this recommendation can actually set you up for an increased chance of reinjuring your hamstring.
So what else needs to be considered and what should you do about it?
That’s exactly what we are discussing on this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast.
We lay out what you need to know and the steps to implement to make it happen.

Did you know that your feet are one of the most complex and influential structures in your body?
With 28 bones, over 30 joints, and 50 muscles in each foot, there is a lot going on down there!
Unfortunately, most people don’t realize how important it is that all the joints of their feet move well and all the muscles of their feet are strong.

But this carries a whole slew of potential problems with it!
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into the feet to discuss why it is so important that your feet move well.
If you have ever had any inkling of a foot issue, this conversation has information you need to hear.

Have you ever had a frozen shoulder?
This is one of the most common shoulder issues that people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s experience, and it can be one of the most complex, as well.
While many ways of improving frozen shoulder focus on improving the joint’s mobility, there is a huge role that your muscles can play in both relieving frozen shoulder and making sure it doesn’t come back.
But, the muscles that may be the key to it all may not even be in the shoulder…
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what the roles of your muscles are when it comes to frozen shoulder and how you can think about implementing these ideas to help your shoulders feel and function better.
If you have ever had a frozen shoulder, listen up!
This conversation will give you insights you likely haven’t heard before.

Have you ever had an IT band issue?
Maybe your IT bands are chronically tight. Or maybe you have even been told you have IT band syndrome. Or maybe you have had some pains down the side of your legs towards your knees…
Despite how your IT bands may be feeling, what you have been told about it, or how many other people want to blame your IT bands for any physical issues you have, the truth is, it is not your IT bands’ fault.
There are some very specific reasons why your IT bands may be feeling how they are, and on this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are diving into.
We are pulling back the curtain on what may be causing your IT bands to feel tight or painful and laying out specific steps you can take to help.
If you have ever had an IT band issue, listen up! This is not the common advice you are going to hear from a traditional therapist.

While these types of exercises are popular in many circles within the fitness industry as well as with different types of therapists, there are some big mistakes we see people commonly making with these exercises.

If you are trying to get better posture but feel like your efforts are leading you nowhere, this episode is for you.

Do you have hip pain that started in one part of your hip but has since moved around?
Maybe it started near the front but now it wraps around the side and goes to the back.
Or maybe it was near the top of your hip but has traveled down.
This type of traveling pain can be extremely frustrating to deal with because the sensation and location can be constantly changing.
But there is one aspect of your body that can change as quickly as this kind of pain changes location and most ways of dealing with pain completely neglect it.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving to what this aspect is and what you can do during and between your workouts to take advantage of it.

Has it been three months, six months, or longer since you last worked out?
You may be wondering, “Have I lost all of the benefits I used to have from working out?”
While on the surface, it may seem like the answer is, “definitely,” the truth is a lot more nuanced than that.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing what happens to your body when you stop exercising for an extended period of time, including how long it will take for you to start noticing changes in your strength and conditioning.
We also lay out a plan to highlight the key things you need to keep in mind when you return to exercise to make sure you don’t ramp up too quickly and can progress back to your former strength and fitness levels as efficiently as possible.

How much time do you spend planning your warm up for your workouts?
Most people fall into one of two camps: 1. Absolutely none; or 2. A ton.
Unfortunately, if you are trying to figure out what to do on your own, the information around warming up can be as confusing as it is conflicting…
Do you stretch or not? Foam roll or not? Inhibit then activate? Or activate then inhibit? What about cardio?... the list goes on.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are cutting through all of that noise to lay out a simple three-phase formula you can use to get a great warm up in every time you workout.
We tell you exactly what you need to do, what you can cut out, what you can leave in if you want, and what you need to make sure you do every single time.
If you have ever felt overwhelmed by the warm up process, the conversation we have is for you!

How often do you work on strengthening your feet?
While people often think about building stronger legs, a stronger core, and stronger arms, rarely is building stronger feet prioritized.
What this is leading to is people’s feet are often the weakest area of their body, and the most dysfunctional, as well.
However, with some simple strategies, you can start building stronger feet today!
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what these strategies are and how to implement them in your workout routine.
If your feet have ever given you issues like pain, tightness, or fatigue, that is a sign that they likely are not strong enough for what you are wanting to use them for.
But, once you start implementing the steps we teach you, all of that can change.

Have you heard that getting stronger can help you prevent injuries?
It’s true! Consistently strength training throughout your week is one of the best things you can do to help your body stay injury-free.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are unveiling the big thing that is being left out of most strength training routines that actually leaves people more vulnerable to injury.
We walk you through the steps to take with your workouts to make sure they are being designed to help you prevent injury and discuss how to implement each step within your strength training.
If you are trying to build your strength to prevent injuries throughout your life, listen up! This week’s episode will have the info you need to do just that.

Have you ever had a disc issue?
Issues with discs in the spine are extremely common. In fact, it has been reported that 80% of people over the age of 30 have a structural issue with at least one disc.

Fortunately, there are some simple things you can start to do today to help take pressure off your discs and make sure they stay supported whether there is currently a structural issue or not.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what these things are and how to go about implementing them throughout your week.
If you have ever had a disc issue or know of someone who is currently dealing with one, listen up! You are not going to want to miss this action plan that can have your discs better supported than they have ever been.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what the real issue is if you feel like your body is “just getting old” and what you can do about it
If you have ever felt tempted to blame your age for how your body feels, listen up!

Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Help Your Muscles Stay Loose & Strong: http://vagaro.com/muscleactivationschaumburg/services
Are your hamstrings tight?
Tight hamstrings are one of the most common complaints we hear about from prospective clients, and while there are many options out there to help loosen the hamstrings, most ways of resolving the tightness only create short-term changes.
So what can you do about this? Are you destined to have to constantly stretch and roll your hamstrings out for the rest of forever? Or is there a more effective way to address the hamstring tightness that can actually create changes that are long lasting?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are exploring.
We are diving into a simple process you can follow to not only help your hamstrings feel looser, but make sure your body is stronger and functions better overall.

Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Help Your Joints Stay Healthy & Strong: http://services.matschaumburg.com
There is one part of your body that will help your joints stay healthy, strong, mobile, and injury-free, and it is not the joints themselves…
Your muscles!
While many people are under the belief that a joint symptom means there is a joint issue and needs to be a joint solution, our experience has shown us that this is not the case at all.
In fact, over the last 13 years, we have seen 100% of people who have a joint issue also have corresponding muscle issue, and when the muscle issue improves, so does the joint issue.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing why this is and the exact steps to take to make sure your muscles are working as well as they can so your joints stay feeling and functioning great.

Fitness assessments are all the rage at the turn of the year.
New Year’s Resolutions combined with a desire to document where you are starting from to track progress make many people susceptible to the hype of various assessments.
Whether it is as simple as a sit to stand test to as advanced as a VO2 max assessment, people of all fitness levels are looking to figure out how well their body can perform.
But, these fitness assessments may actually be doing more harm than good for your long-term health and consistency with exercise.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we explain why that is and what you need to focus on instead.
If you have any inkling to participate in some type of fitness assessment now or any time throughout the year, this is an episode you need to listen to.
While your motives may be pure, the act of doing the assessment can fundamentally shift how you view your workouts and the exercise choices you make going forward.

Are you active all day long, always on your feet and moving around, rarely sitting or taking time to rest?
While this kind of activity is great, it is not a replacement for more focused and intense workouts.
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are going to break down the difference between being active and exercising, why you need to do both, and how to get both in consistently.
If you have ever thought, “I don’t need to workout today because I have been up and moving all day long,” this episode is for you!
We share how to determine if you are exercising versus just being active (you’ll be surprised to hear this…) and how to make sure you are doing both throughout your week.

Is joint pain keeping you from working out?
Maybe your knee hurts and is stopping you from exercising. Or perhaps your shoulder is aching and saying you should take it easy.
Oftentimes, we see that if there is an ache or pain in one area of the body, it prevents people from doing exercise for the entire rest of their body.
But is taking time off really the best solution?
If you have followed our content for any length of time, you have likely heard us say, “You only get the health benefits of exercise if you do the exercise, and you are only able to keep getting the benefits if you keep exercising.”
So how can you workout even when your joints are aching and painful to not only make sure you stay healthy and strong, but also make sure your workouts don’t make your joint issues worse?
On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are diving into.
If you have ever felt compelled to take time off from working out because of how an area of your body is feeling, this episode is for you!
We lay out the exact steps to follow to make sure you are able to continue to stay strong and healthy without flaring up the areas that are hurting.

You may not feel as strong, coordinated, or athletic as you once did, but that does not mean this has to be your story forever.

Do you have a group of muscles that you are struggling to grow or strengthen?
There is so much confusion and misinformation about what actually needs to happen in order to develop bigger and stronger muscles, and while much of the mainstream fitness industry wants you to chase the newest, flashiest, flavor-of-the-day strategy, we find that results consistently come easier when you follow a specific set of principles.
This week, we have the opportunity to sit down with one of our esteemed colleagues to discuss a set of principles that will help you cut through much of the marketing hype and just focus on exactly what you need to do to grow and strengthen your muscles, regardless of your age or fitness level.
Nick Horvath shares his A.I.M. Principle for muscle growth with us, diving into the details of what this principle is and how it will help to take out all of the guesswork with what exercises you should be doing to build bigger and stronger muscles.
If you have ever felt confused by what the mainstream fitness industry promotes as far as effective exercises to get stronger and build muscle, listen up! You are going to want to hear everything Nick has to say.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode!

How long do you need to workout for it to qualify as a "good workout"?
45 minutes? 60 minutes? Longer?
What about 20 minutes?...
Oftentimes, when people think about exercising for 20 minutes, they either disregard it as an option because "it's not long enough to get a good workout"...
Or they try to make up for the shorter duration by cranking the intensity WAY up.
But - does it have to be this way?
Do you either have to workout for longer periods of time or in ways that are really intense and risk injury?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, this is the topic we are exploring.
We lay out the biggest issues with most 20-minute workouts and what you can do differently to make sure you can get stronger, more fit, and healthier without increasing your risk for injury.

Does it feel like your body is too old to get stronger, more fit, or more mobile?
A lot of times, as people get older, they start to develop the belief that because they are "past their prime", they have lost their window of opportunity to build the strength and health they want.
But, this could not be further from the truth!
In fact, you can see improvements in your strength at ANY age; BUT, there are some things that you ARE too old for if you are in your 30s or beyond.
Unfortunately, many of the things that you are too old for are the things that are holding you back from getting the results you want with your workouts.
The good news is with just some simple tweaks, you can avoid these things and streamline building the strength, fitness, mobility, and health you want.
What are these things and how do you avoid them? That is exactly what Julie & Charlie are discussing on this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast.

The summer months can be some of the most enjoyable of the year, but they can also be some of the most challenging on your health and strength.
Between the cookouts, holidays, weekend celebrations, and an overall desire to not be indoors or in a gym, many people find themselves going through summer feeling weaker and weaker.

But does it have to be this way?? Can you still enjoy the summer months without letting your health and fitness be put on the back burner?
And is there anything you can do to maintain the results you have worked so hard to achieve so you can continue to feel strong and capable throughout your life without feeling like you need to completely rebuild your body once September rolls around?
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, Julie and Charlie have three tips for you to help you do just that.
You will learn super simple and practical things you can implement throughout your day to make sure your health and strength remain high even while your time in the gym stays low during the summer months.

Stress management and reduction are big topics these days, whether it is in the office, at home, or just for overall health and wellbeing.
But most ways of reducing stress are additive to what is likely an already jam-packed schedule; in other words, many of the recommendations are along the lines of, "Add in meditation," "Start journaling," or "Do some deep breathing exercises."
While these methods certainly can be effective, is there something you can do within your life that doesn't add more onto your plate but still allows you to reduce your stress?

You often hear that you need to exercise, but do actually know WHY it is so important??
The mainstream fitness industry has distorted the messsage about exercise and fitness to the point that most people have absolutely no idea why it is actually so important for them to be exercising.
On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, Julie and Charlie are releasing the audio from a private presenation they gave to a group of future physicians at a medical school in the western suburbs of Chicago.
This presentation dives deep into the science of why exercise is important as well as what must be focused on with your workouts in order for them to build your health instead of break it down.
Because of the length of the presentation, they broke it into two parts, with Part 2 being scheduled for release in a couple of weeks.

There are a ton of health benenfits to having a well-functioning metabolism. From better weight management to increased energy to more efficient body temperature regualtion, there is definitely a list of pros to having your metabolism firing on all cylinders.
Exercising regularly has been shown to be an effective strategy to increase metabolism. However, while many workout programs tout themselves as "metabolism-boosting", most ways of exercising that are focused on boosting metabolism leave you at greater risk for soreness, achiness, and injury.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, Julie and Charlie discuss the ins and outs of what an effective exercise strategy looks like to not only boost metabolism, but do so in a way that is safe with minimal chance of soreness and injury.
If you are trying to get your metabolism revved up, this episode is for you!
