Strength Training on the Go
Finding time to hit the gym can feel like an impossible feat when you're juggling work, family, and other commitments. But don't let a busy schedule derail your fitness goals.
Three Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Strength Training Journey
Embarking on a fitness journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and looking back, there are three things I wish I had known from the start. These aren't just generic fitness tips; they are personal revelations that have transformed my approach to my ever-fluctuating health and well-being.
Why Recovering from a Shoulder Injury is a Steep Climb
The shoulder joint is an intricate network of bones, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, allowing for an incredible range of motion. This complexity, however, also makes it susceptible to various types of injuries. Unlike simpler joints, such as the knee, the shoulder's intricate structure means that rehabilitation requires a multifaceted approach. Physical therapy must address not only the injured area but also the surrounding structures to restore balance and functionality.
Mind-Muscle Connection
The mind-muscle connection is the link between your brain and the muscles you're targeting during a specific exercise. When you focus your attention on the muscle you're working, you create a stronger connection that allows for better muscle activation and engagement. This heightened awareness helps you feel the muscle working throughout the entire range of motion, enhancing your overall training experience.
