I look at 3 things when choosing an exercise:

1️⃣ Stability
2️⃣ Alignment
3️⃣ Strength Curve

Today, I’m discussing alignment as it pertains to the body. Some movements might feel better than others due to how your body is aligned.

As an example: a bilateral lat pulldown versus a unilateral lat pulldown. With a unilateral lat pulldown, each shoulder has its appropriate range of motion and mobility and isn’t forcing the other shoulder to compensate or overwork.

When choosing exercises, focus on movements that feel comfortable and are a better option for how you and your body move.

Happy Thanksgiving! Why am I standing in front of a liquor store? Because no one gives a f*ck about turkey🦃…

Thanksgiving is about two things:

1️⃣ Loved ones👪
2️⃣ Alcohol🍷

It’s most certainly not about fitness. Enjoy those around you. Eat some great food. And enjoy a few glasses of alcohol. But then tomorrow, get right back to it. Celebrate today but don’t make this into a week-long binge.

50 million Americans are estimated to be traveling by car this Thanksgiving. So here’s where I would recommend you stop and grab food while travelling:

1️⃣ A diner – Egg white omelette packed with vegetables and chicken. Fruit cup on the side.
2️⃣ Subway – Wheat roll, no mayo, opt for mustard instead. Oven-roasted chicken, carved turkey, rotisserie chicken, or, my favorite, Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki.
3️⃣ Chipotle – Bowl, chicken, black beans, vegetables, salsa, and pico de gallo.
Honorable Mention: Panera (video to come)

Tis the season… to add turkey into your meal prep routine.

1️⃣ Turkeys are relatively cheap. $1.79 a pound for lean protein is a steal.

2️⃣ It’s fairly easy to prep – throw it in an oven to cook!

3️⃣ Slice it up for all your meal prep and you have all of your lean protein for the week.
