Do you have pain with overhead pressing? Follow @anchor.georgina for everything health, fitness & rehab Pain with overhead pressing is a very common complaint among active individuals.... There are many possible causes of pain, but often it is due to a lack of mobility in the upper body and shoulder, restricting the shoulder blade from moving freely and causing a pinch in the shoulder The Solution (Swipe for video demo) The single arm landmine press is a great compromise for training pain free and still getting the benefits of overhead pressing because it trains the same motion without putting the lifter into a full overhead position! The set up: place a barbell into a fixed corner (one that you aren’t worried about scratching, or place a matt under it) setup either kneeling (more difficult) or standing (less difficult), with the hand just in front of the shoulder keeping your bum and core engaged, press the weight overhead, leaning slightly forward with the weight Shoulder pain not going away on its own?

Feeling a little extra stressed this week? You might be holding tension in areas you never thought of before. In a 2001 study, researchers examined the bodys response to stress by looking at the pelvic floor and upper trapezius (those achy muscles on the tops of your shoulders) and found that the pelvic floor muscles actually contracted BEFORE the trapezius when women watched scary movies. The more your pelvic floor contracts and holds tension, the more likely you are to exp...erience back pain, pelvic pain, incontinence, and more. Our bellies need room to breathe and relax.

The face you make when coach says go again! . Devin has been training at ANCHOR for over a year (time flies when youre heckling having fun) We recently asked her how she got started and heres what she said:... . Well, at the beginning of 2019, I found myself very unmotivated to get my toosh into gear and to try to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Then, one chilly day in February, at a wedding, I saw my good friend, Mrs. Jennifer MacRae, and oh my goodness - she strutted through the lobby just like she owned the place. Not only did she look fantastic, but her confidence was just booming. So, I asked her "how?!" and her response was "come to ANCHOR". I decided to start. Ever since I stepped foot in the doors of ANCHOR, the coaches and staff have been so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It has now been just over a year since I joined this home of health and I'm loving every minute of it, even when I'm lying on the floor drenched in sweat trying to recover from a WOD.

Fitness is essential even if gyms are not. You dont need to stop working out, or hit pause on your goals. The truth is, the magic of ANCHOR has never been in the equipment its always been in the accountability, motivation and coaching.... and you can still get all of that ONLINE. DM if you want to do a one week trial of our ANCHOR ONLINE membership www.anchorhere.ca

Our first instalment: MindFit Wednesday, April 15 8-9:30pm Whats going to happen to me? Is a question on everyones minds. There is concern for your familys health, the health of the world, your income, your job security, your business. The fact that NO ONE knows the answer to this question is especially unnerving. The state of our collective mental health is being challenged daily. Ive asked Chris Cowan to lead a complimentary mindset sessions for us all next Wednesday, April 15. If it speaks to you, hell be leading a 4-part weekly series in a pay-what-you-can format. The reality is your mindset can victimize or empower you. It needs attention, training and even a coach just like your physical body. I hope youll join me tomorrow. - Alli Register: https://anchorhere.pushpress.com//event/cal_8b3e2d3083f305

63% of gym memberships go completely unused. 82% of gym members go to the gym less than once per week. Let that sink in.... Gyms arent cheap. Investing in your health rarely involves cutting corners. For the money you spend, you deserve to be welcomed into a space where everyone knows your name. A space where you were missed when you went away on vacation. Where you feel supported when your child is sick. Where, even when you cant attend a workout due to unforeseen circumstances, your trainers show up for you in any and every way possible. The kind of home away from home that keeps you accountable to showing up because you dont want to miss a single moment. You deserve to COME HOME. At ANCHOR, you have a whole team of people rooting for you and holding you accountable to showing up for yourself. We may be hitting the pause button on the in-person experience right now, but its only temporary. DM us to let us know how we can support you from afar.

Movement teaches us so many lessons in life. Have you ever noticed that some of the best moments spent with family involve the kind of movement that comes naturally? Were talking about laughter-filled chases around the house or spontaneous kitchen dance parties. The best part is: you dont even need to leave the house to benefit.... This is your daily reminder that movement doesnt have to be organized. It doesnt have to involve a sport or a workout. Sometimes what our bodies crave the most is connection with the ones we love. How are you encouraging movement with your family during March break? Share your ideas in the comments!

https://www.anchorhere.ca//3-ways-to-get-30g-of-protein-in] Whos joining us for your virtual workouts this week in our members group? Dont forget to fuel up! ... The connection between your brain and your stomach is one of the most powerful tools in an athletes tool belt. A breakfast packed with 30 grams of protein will optimize your brain's ability to send messages to the rest of your body, helping wake you up and increasing the release of satiety hormones to help you feel fuller for longer. If youre heading to the gym later in the day, front-loading your protein intake will also prevent your body from tapping into protein stores designed to help you recover. Plus, its a great excuse to make our famous protein pancakes. Check out our blog post for the recipe! What is your favourite way to get your protein in the morning?

Hi ANCHOR family, While the risk to York Region residents of COVID-19 remains low, we have recently seen major steps taken by the federal and provincial government, along with the town of Georgina to curb the spread of the virus. It is clear that measures like social distancing are necessary in an attempt to avoid consequences later on. As health and fitness professionals, we have a responsibility to lead by example and support the health of our community.... As such, we have decided to close the doors to the gym and studio effective tomorrow March 15, and reevaluate March 31. We will keep you updated as things evolve. . Housekeeping items: * All memberships will go on a temporary pause * We will be posting daily at home workouts * We will live stream some workouts! * If you have anything you need to pick up from the gym let us know and we can open up for you tomorrow. If you have questions, we are here to answer them. We will miss you so much over the next few weeks! Thank you so much for your support in this decision. Alli, Jordan & the ANCHOR team
