We're going to take the yoga poses downward dog and cobra pose and tweak them just a little bit to focus on ab work. This will be a great core workout!
We're going to start by getting into a push-up position and slowly letting our hips drop toward the floor. Make sure not to let your lower back flex more than the rest of your spine! You'll know you did if you start to feel a pinch in your lower back.
Now once your hips are as low as you can comfortably go, don't just use your hands to push yourself back up. Instead, tighten your abs and use them to pull your hips up straight away from the floor.
As your hips get higher, your arms will start to move overhead. Once this happens, keep your abs tight and think about shifting your hips back toward your feet.
When you first start doing this exercise, start slow. Only do a few reps at a time and don't drop your hips too much. Some lower ab soreness is expected. As you get used to the movement add more reps and sets!
I've long had the goal of doing strict muscle ups. Pull ups are no problem at all and neither are dips. But how do you bridge the gap between to two? Enter elbow pull ups!
Elbow pull ups are the next step after pull ups. They offer more range of motion that standard pull ups since they allow you to get your chest above the bar.
They can also be a transitional movement so that you can get up on top of an obstacle. Do an elbow pull up to get your chest up on the obstacle and then reposition your hands to push all the way up or just bring a foot up.
I've personally found that elbow pull ups are fantastics for release tight shoulders. I spend a lot of time rock climbing which can lead to some very tight lats. The large range of motion these offer really helps get my lats back to normal.

Fallen arches are a product largely of modern footwear. However, there is a relatively simple way to address them. In this video, I'm going to explain how fallen arches happen, and give you a simple exercise you can use to start retraining the arches in your feet. Then I'll teach you how to scale that exercise so make feet that can do the job they're supposed to do!

It's almost Christmas and this time of year I usually wind down quite a bit and try to spend a little more time on me stuff. So I went to my favorite patch of woods, Sky Meadows State Park in Virginia.
If I'm going to maintain my sanity, I need plenty of time outdoors in nature. Sky Meadows State Park is close enough to me that I can get there almost any time I need a break. I really think we all need this time in nature. Even massive cities tend to have large parks available.

Looking to start running for health? Running is a skill that requires some baseline fitness or it won't be good for your health! These exercises will help.
Running requires very good hip stability. If you don't have it, your knees, lower back, and ankles will take extra shock and have to do extra work. These are some exercises you can do to improve your hip stability so that you can run safely and get all the benefits running offers.

The ground movement series is back! Extension and rotation through our trunk is key for a healthy body. However, most of our daily lives don't work this aspect very often. Some simple movement pair with a little isometric contraction can help retrain these movement patterns and free up a lot of stuck spots.
As usual with my ground movement series, this a no equipment and do anywhere workout. The movements are simple and I walk you through the whole workout. Take your time and perform the movements slowly and controlled. If you need to use bolsters or a movement is too challenging for you right now, don't force it.

Today I'm going to be taking you through a full mobility session to deepen your squat. There are so many factors that go into squat depth that it's really important to set yourself up before going into squats. Ankle mobility and hip mobility are essential for a deep squat.
This is a mostly low-intensity mobility session that requires minimal equipment. You'll need something like a lacrosse ball, bolsters as needed, and a moderate weight for the squats. I hope you enjoy the mobility session and let's get squatting!

I'm going to give you my thoughts on Jawzrsize after 3 months of use. For more reviews and product info click the link!
Jawzrsize: https://amzn.to/2xDUsVS
I've been using Jawzrsize for about 3 months now. I was initially pretty skeptical, which is why I waited so long to review it. I wanted to really be sure I had a definitive results before I offered my opinion.
I didn't buy the Jawzrsize for it's aesthetic promises. Rather I bought it to see how well it could help realign my jaw and head position as well as relax my jaw muscles.
At the end of my little test, I was pleasantly surprised and will probably continue using the Jawzrsize to maintain my results!
