I take exercise seriously and playfully because it is that important. Like customized training with my clients, The Epic Workout takes exercise vertically. Yet the fitness world is also changing horizontally which means that the forms, methods and processes are being rearranged, improved, and evolved. Despite the idea that there are ever newer rules, we are in fact returning to the essence of our lives with new distinctions. Where are we going?
Mobility and Movement Preparation
There are techniques and methods that dramatically surpass ’stretching’ to optimally prepare your body for the movement you choose to train. Tune in, tune up!
Corrective Exercise
Injuries of all shapes and size come as a consequence of our lifestyles and training patterns. More of the same is rarely the path out of pain. You can make the body resilient through intentional, purposeful movement that has the power to improve the way your body works at a deep level.
Speed, power and elasticity
Power and speed need to be developed appropriately in every population. Power is lost faster than strength, and is critical for getting through life effortlessly.
Core Training
Ab crunches are out, and functional core work is in as we focus on training a body to respond and be active in the world. Whether the lessons come from athletics, martial arts, somatics or yoga, the truth about core is the same.
Resistance Training
A foundational aspect of every practice, we need to focus on function, linked system strength and real world strength. Isolated strength is an illusion, and the key is to practice with appropriate frequency.
Metabolic Training
Evolutionary cardio - Intensity vs volume is the name of the game, so the the ability to do higher levels of work and maintain output over time will take you where you want to go. Riding the edge will get you there faster.
Regeneration, Recovery & Restoration
No matter your training modality or the features of your practice, recovery and nourishment - physical and emotional - is a must. This can be done at the gym, on the mat, or at home, and should not be ignored.
