Not gonna lie, building muscle takes work, especially if you’re AFAB. The most important part? Consistency. 100%. I’ve been lifting consistently for almost 7 years. That’s 3-5 days a week of some form of strength training, with maybe 2 weeks off every year. Other than that, I almost never miss workouts.
I love being strong AF with muscular arms and legs, and I know I have to really put in the work to achieve that since it goes against my biology.
But, I love how long it takes to build muscle. There’s nothing better than committing to something for the long haul, putting in the work, and seeing your effort pay off. Then again, I’m a bit of a delayed gratification j***y.
Want to train with me? I provide customized programming specific to your goals and accountability along the way. All you have to do is show up and put in the work 💪🏼 link in bio to sign up.
Posture Program Week 4: Shoulder Blade Retraction!
When we talk about posture, the positioning of our shoulders is probably what most people think about, and for good reason! There are actually two components to shoulder position - shoulder blade retraction and shoulder external rotation. This week's video talks about and demonstrates an exercise example for shoulder blade retraction.
An inability to find a 'squeeze' in between your shoulder blades is one of the biggest brain-body connectivity Issues I see with all of my clients. When we don't use the muscles regularly, it's common to not be able to activate them! This leads to all sorts of issues, including those dreaded rounded shoulders. Try the exercise In the video below and see if you're able to identify this crucial group of muscles In your upper back!
How is your balance? I don't care how old you are, I bet it's not as good as Joanne Rollins'! This single leg, 3-way lunge is exceptionally challenging, not to mention the foamy unstable surface underfoot.
This is a great exercise not only for balance, but to rehab an injured knee by forcing it to strengthen those stabilizing muscles.
