If we are >60% water, then why do we start and end the day dehydrated? If we filled a pool to 60% capacity, patrons would be pissed off. Right? Why aren't we focused on this?

There is a misconception out there, that to get stronger, we need to lift heavier. Strength is the result of repeated challenge, consistency and hard work over time. If the muscles you target are feeling an extra stimulus via added repetitions, added weight, or a manipulation of leverage, then there is potential for change, ie strength increases. Matt discusses how you can use the same weights to get stronger, or take a couple steps in a different direction, to arrive at the same goal. Single-arm/leg vs. Both arms/legs exercise all can be used strategically, to prompt the body to change. Here’s how and why! Download, listen enjoy and please share!

Why are they widely used? How should they be done properly? Please jump into this episode full-on! Download, listen, enjoy and please share!

When targeting a goal, it helps to be a specific as you can in the planning. What is the goal, or the event you are training for? What is going to be required of you? What movements are involved? What type of training is needed? Cardio, weights, or both? Let’s explore the area of specificity, to discover it’s application in your life. Matt explains how this subject can be used, to help give you the edge. Get the edge, listen and enjoy!
The Pandemic has not helped our posture, by any stretch of the imagination…pun intended. There has been an increase, in the differential, between our flexors and extensors around both the trunk and torso. How do we reset these? Can we re-balance these areas? Yes! Let’s battle the workday’s effects, by having a more thoughtful plan for our exercise each week. Matt addresses the importance of posture in this episode. Come along for the mental ride that is Personal Training Unlocked! What questions come up in your mind? Progress starts with accepting an issue for what it is, and developing a battle-plan for success. Let’s get going!
We sit for too many hours a week. Matt discusses what happens with the muscles of the body, and why movement and exercise is so necessary. The body sees more flexion on a daily basis, than it does extension. How do we combat this? Controlled extension movements need to be focused on within our workouts. This “work-life” situation must be addressed, in order to elicit change. Get up, and get moving toward a balanced you.
How often do we all sit each day? How often do we challenge ourselves each day? Most people sit more than they are challenged. If we sit at home, at work, in the car, then why are we also sitting at the gym to exercise? Working out needs to, if nothing else, combat and undo positions, stress and tension that are created during that day. Machines are a safety net, but better than nothing. However, challenging the body, side vs side, top vs bottom, and using free weights will shock the body into a heightened mind-muscle connectedness. We want our bodies and muscles to be problem solving throughout everyday, not complacent and under utilized! Hitch a ride with Matt on this mental journey, and apply what you can to your routine.

Working out should be fun, but also strategic. We all have certain areas we enjoy exercising, and others, usually weaker spots, that we try to avoid. The Indirect and Direct training model that Matt discusses here, maps out how to challenge this paradigm. Having a "control" position and a "focused" movement, enables you to work a preferred area, while sneaking work into a weaker body section. Come along for the ride and use the theater of your mind to tackle this episode!
