Continuing with our training series, we are going to move from functional strength training to training functional power. Where strength training is more focused on moving load through force production, power training takes this a step further by emphasizing the ability to generate force rapidly. Simply put, power equals force times velocity. (Power = Force …
Welcome back! This week we are going to be continuing with the second part to our strength part of our training series. Last week in Part One we covered the push, pull, squat, and hinge patterns. This week we will be covering the last three of our seven patterns: the lunge, rotation, and locomotion. These …
Welcome back to our training series. So far, we have covered mobility, more specifically ankle, hip, and shoulder mobility and last week we covered “core” stability. Today, we are going to switch our focus to strength training. At ChiroFitt, we focus on functional strength training. Though, we might say “isn’t all strength training functional?” Technically …
Last week we began the stabilization portion of our training series. This week we will be continuing with our stabilization series, with a discussion of scapular or shoulder stability. If you have been following our training series since we began, you may be saying “wait a minute, I thought the shoulder was to be a …
Welcome back to our training series. In the last couple of weeks, we have focused on mobility, more specifically ankle, hip, and shoulder mobility. This week we are transitioning into stability with a focus on how we train to improve “core” stability. The first thing that we need to discuss in looking at “core” stability …
Welcome back to our training series and more specifically the mobility portion of our training series. In the last couple of weeks, we have discussed ankle mobility and hip mobility and have provided some techniques that we use here at ChiroFitt to help improve ankle and hip mobility. From the lower body, we are going …
Welcome back to our training series and more specifically the mobility portion of our training series. Last week we discussed ankle mobility and provided some techniques that we use here at ChiroFitt to help improve ankle mobility. From the ankle, we are going to move up to the hip this week. Our hip joint is …
Last week we discussed Longevity and how important movement is to our longevity and well-being along with controlling inflammation and proper recovery. We are excited to begin a new series this week which will be our Training Series! During this series we will focus on different areas that we at ChiroFitt focus on with our …
Is “getting old” just a process of aging? So often I hear the words “don’t get old” and I often think about what the alternative to not getting old is. I certainly would prefer to not “die young”, which is often the alternative to “not getting old”. I’ve come to realize that even though we …
Last week we discussed Nutritional Supplementation and its importance to overall health and well-being. Today we are going to dive into the topic of inflammation and how it affects our body. Inflammation is a normal physiological response of our body that helps to protect it from injury, infection, or a toxic substance. Several events need …
