This is one of the biggest issues we see with the modern fitness industry. They focus on looking good and this will come at the price of your ability to move. The irony is these gyms and programs might get you quick results but could cost you your health in the long run... if you cannot move well it will cost you more than just they way that you look! Looking strong is awesome but what is even better is looking strong and ACTUALLY BEING STRONG!!! Take the guesswork out of y...our training and reach goals beyond what you thought you were capable of!!

Rigid machines create more rigid injury prone bodies. Ditch the machines and come learn how to create true strength ...and mobility.

Success leaves clues!! Trust the process!!! We didn’t do any direct front splits work. No long hours of stretching. Simply utilizing end range strength training to expand range AND strength so that those ranges are usable and resilient. She is getting STRONG!!!! The best part is we didn’t even focus on front splits as a goal but not we will and we’ll show you what we can do with a little focus - time to increase strength and mobility. Keep an eye for the next update will be... full front splits now that we want to get it done WHILE increasing strength! We are going to begin getting more diligent with asking our members for before and afters because it seems like people need MORE proof. All good you asked so we’ll give it to you. Where are the doubters at??? HmmmmMAYBE you should open your mind and come try a class?? #movestrong #movement #strength #strengthtraining #kitchener #waterlooregion #kwawesome #wrawesome #kitchenermuscle #waterloo #dtkitchener #fitness #goals #health #healthybody #mobility #yoga #fitnessmotivation #motivation #getfit #workout #noexcuses #kinstretch #functionalrangeconditioning #frc

Control yourself. Success leaves clues. Imagine the possibilities when you have the freedom to move strong and have control over your body! Are you just mindlessly ‘exercising’ or are you creating a truly strong body? Train with intention. Trust the process. Move Strong.

The reality is that chasing the look most often will cost you the ability to function. Once you’ve lost that ability good luck trying to achieve the look! Looking good should be a reflection of how well you move and how good you feel otherwise what’s the point??? Alsowhy not both??? Come and Move Strong with us and see what you’ve been missing! #successleavesclues

Success leaves clues!!! Do you have balance in your training? Developing strength while learning new skills and challenging the body in ways that stimulate connective tissue, muscle tissue and the mind! Trying new things may be scary but also offer you the ability to surprise yourself. Learning new skills is innately human and leads to a practice that is far more satisfying than mindlessly hammering away at cardio. Oh and it also makes for a really good workout;)... #movestrong #movement #strength #strengthtraining #kitchener #waterlooregion #kwawesome #wrawesome #kitchenermuscle #waterloo #dtkitchener #fitness #goals #health #healthybody #mobility #yoga #fitnessmotivation #motivation #getfit #workout #noexcuses #kinstretch #functionalrangeconditioning #frc

Success leaves clues. "Not only are squats not bad for the knees, every legitimate research study on this subject has shown that squats improve knee stability and therefore help reduce the risk of injuries." ~ Charles Poliquin... #movestrong #movement #strength #strengthtraining #kitchener #waterlooregion #kwawesome #wrawesome #kitchenermuscle #waterloo #dtkitchener #fitness #goals #health #healthybody #mobility #yoga #fitnessmotivation #motivation #getfit #workout #noexcuses #kinstretch #functionalrangeconditioning #frc

If you want to move better you need to move more! Not only movement, but exploring and expanding all ranges. We are blurring the lines between strength and mobility to create real change. Success leaves clues. Stop blindly following and doing what the masses are doing. The current world of fitness is leaving a trail of broken bodies and minds. We are changing the paradigm of fitness. We are changing the way people move and think about their bodies. We are Move Strong!!!

The last word that in my current opinion is the most important in terms of your ability to achieve success in your physical practice is INTENTION. Intention forces you to be present and in the moment. What is your intention for your physical practice that day? What is your intention for each rep and set of the movement you are about to do? Go further what is your intention for the meal you are about to consume, the conversation you are about to have, the work you are about ...to do? I think you are doing yourself a HUGE disservice to just mindlessly go through a movement or workout. The real magic begins when you not only try to understand the intention of a movement, but truly immerse yourself in it. Hitting a certain number of sets or reps is a far second to being intentional with each and every phase of each and every movement. When you understand the reason for the movement, the reason for the tempo/rep/sets it changes the quality of the movement and the quality of the movement is far greater than hitting a certain number of reps or sets to just get it done. The real secret to change and learning is to approach each and every single movement in your physical practice with deep intention. You are going to put the time and the work into this, make it meaningful. Get the most out of every moment. Each rep becomes more meaningful spending a little more time in your weakest part, trying to get just a little deeper and expanding range just a little more. Each rep provides a new opportunity to get 1% better. What is your intention for your physical practice? What is your intention for the day/week/month/year? What is your intention for the movement? When you leverage the power of intention you approach your training differently and it becomes an I get to train versus I have to train. What is your intention? #lastsetbestset #successleavesclues

Success leaves clues. After years of experimenting, learning and failing over and over, I’ve come to learn that there are 3 very important words that you must keep in mind in order to achieve success in your physical practice. The first word is ‘CONSISTENCY'. I’ve said this many times to my trainees - "this is a game of millimetres not inches and we’re playing the long game here. Consistency to push through the good days and the bad. Consistency to push through the plateaus and the regressions before you can progress. Consistency to push through the boring because sometimes just on the other side of boring is beautiful as @lucy.rupert would say. Any guesses as to the other two words?

Discussing strength outside of the context of range is like discussing money outside of the context of currency. Further, the more that I learn and experiment, the more I anchor my beliefs that we need to be blurring the lines of strength and mobility. I do believe that strength is the mother of all qualities and is critically important if you want a high quality of life and experience everything this meat vehicle of ours has to offer but I’m astonished at how few are doi...ng this correctly. I followed the masses and did what most do and did major damage to my body. Don’t do what the majority are doing or you’ll end up like the majority (not good). There are a few that are doing things differently... the contrarians... the trailblazers. Inspiring change and impacting people’s lives more than they could have imagined. Some day the science will catch up and the masses will see. Just some random thoughts. Feeling inspired. Today is a great day. I appreciate you all. #movestrong #movestrongkw See more

Sure I looked decent but I couldn’t move. Everything hurt. I couldn’t reach my arms over my head, I couldn’t squat because my knees hurt and I sure as shit couldn’t come anywhere close to touching my toes. I just thought oh well I’m just not mobile. No amount of stretching that I did was changing anything Man was I wrong! I now know that a joint that isn’t mobile likely means it is weak and susceptible to injury. Let me show you how to create a strong and mobile body that ...is ACTUALLY as strong as it looks Shoot me a note and I will hook you up with a free pass to Move Strong! I promise worst case scenario you’ll have a little bit of fun and you will leave with some new movements you can incorporate into your training that could make a world of difference. What do you have to lose? Btw this post isn’t meant to impress you with my mobility as I know there are for more mobile people in the world, but I’m hoping this post shows you what is capable without hours of daily stretching. In fact, I’m curious to see where I can go if I actually start to prioritize my mobility!! Next stop: Project Head to Toe!!! @ Move Strong KW See more
