On the last day of June, I sadly experienced the last of my twenties. As of June 30, my thirties have finally wrapped their demon-like fingers around my youthfulness and begun to strangle the life out of it. Goodbye fast metabolism, hello crossword puzzles. Where’s my metamucil?! I NEED TO STAY REGULAR, DAMN IT. Now…

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned side plank? They’re great for lateral core stability (your obliques for you meatheads out there) as well as challenging stability of the shoulder girdle. They’re a staple in a lot of training programs out there, and for good reason. But after a while regular side planks can become……
Today we have a guest post that comes from… well, me. Just on my new business site 🙂 We all have the days where training is the last thing we want to do. Whether it’s been a particularly stressful week at work or maybe you’re adjusting to life with a newborn (OH HEY LIKE ME).…
