“This pregnancy, I challenged myself. What do I mean? This time, instead of being fearful of the symptoms I saw and altering the movement altogether, I tried to see how close I could stay to the prescribed movement WHILE controlling the symptoms.”

“With 90% of us working on computers all day, it’s no secret that we’re all a little more conscious of our progressively worsening posture. My goal is to teach you exactly how to fix that dreaded hunchback-like posture!”

“The squat is one of the most foundational and functional movements we as humans can do. Think about it. From going up and down from a chair, to getting in/out of cars, to even getting on/off the toilet! We are already performing them on a day-to-day basis, so it makes sense to train it! Not only is it functional, but the overall strength and power benefits are immense. It’s a skill that everyone should master in order to live a healthier, more resilient life.”

“So we go from all that sitting, head straight to the gym (or home gym), and expect to workout and move in a healthy way without pain. I’m sorry to say but our bodies are just not made to be handled this way, which is why I’ve decided to write this post – to outline how sitting is wrecking your body, and what to do about it.”

“The doctors told me not to workout for 6 weeks and with how sore I was directly after, I agreed! But as the days went by with me just sitting on the couch, I started to get all kinds of aches and pains in my low back and neck and just became uncomfortable. I soon decided that I just needed to MOVE!”

“As my due date approached, I felt like the doctors started trying to scare me into an induction. I really preferred to have my baby naturally, even without an epidural, so the thought of an induction didn’t sit right with me.”

“To make pregnancy experiences easier and less challenging on any other pregnant women that are looking for scaling options/modifications, I’ve created a little cheat sheet that I have been using throughout this trimester that has allowed me to still get the desired stimulus of the workout while working similar muscles as the prescribed movement! Hope it helps!”

“It can be easy for new moms to get lost in a sea of conflicting information—not just on the internet, but also from doctors and well-intentioned friends and family members. So, the point of this blog is to provide you with the most recently updated research as well as my personal experience of CrossFitting while pregnant.“

“Whether you’re a novice or an elite runner, there will come a time (if you haven’t experienced it yet) that you experience new aches, pains, and injuries. This post will address some of the most common reasons WHY injuries occur and WHAT to do about them.”

“We get asked all the time the best stretches, mobilizations, or treatments for the knee and the truth is… the knee is more often than not, the VICTIM, not the cause of your pain.”

“Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just want to know more about the do’s and don’ts when it comes to nutrition, this post is for you. During an interview with Dietician, Matt Dengler, we go over some of the most common questions that athletes have and some of the answers might surprise you! “

“Does your shoulder snap when you raise your arm overhead? Do your knees crackle when you go up and down stairs? Do your hips pop when you squat? Is this normal?”

Short answer…YES!

“Hard work, determination, exercise, and conscious eating all have benefits for sure, but there are also some negative effects that come with these traits that most aren’t aware of...ie. the female athlete triad.”

“The pelvic floor is an underrated group of muscles that deserve MUCH more attention than they’re currently getting. They’re such a taboo topic that most people are too scared/embarrassed to talk about issues that they experience, so they just call them normal and deal with them! whaaaaatttt…?? BUT this is an area that can have dysfunction and symptoms that affect nearly every part of your life (ie. working out, sneezing/coughing, sexual function and relationships, etc.)”

“CrossFit physical therapists understand the ins and outs of your sport and most importantly, understand that CrossFit isn’t the problem.”
