Stronger Strides: The Power of Strength Training for Runners
Hands down, one of the biggest perks of strength training for runners is injury prevention. Running is a high-impact, repetitive activity, and your body needs enough strength to manage the forces it encounters with every stride. Strong muscles around your joints help stabilize them and absorb the impact of each footfall, which drastically reduces your risk of common running injuries. Core strengthening exercises also improve posture and balance, which further decreases injury risk by promoting proper alignment—something I always emphasize when working with my clients.
Supplements Health or Hack?

How To Leverage More "Self Time" For Yourself From Your Boss.
I incorporate my fitness into the work day. Not before, not after, I include it into my work hours because that's what it is, it's work. Not just because it's my line of work but because it's Self-work, just like it is for you; it's a requirement to be healthy after all. We are the most productive, creative, intuitive, joyful, empathetic etc. version of ourselves when we are cared for.
Mental Health Is Just Health
What we eat, if we move, how well we sleep, who/what we spend our time with/on, and what we tell ourselves all contributes to our Health. You cannot be healthy without all of those issues being addressed. The mental side of health has been neglected and we are now suffering the consequences of that as a society. But ultimately it's just been our Health that we have been neglecting.
#Handcare Is #Selfcare
Today we want to touch on the topic of hand tears. They suck. They’re painful, they bleed and most importantly, they limit us from training. While sometimes they may be unavoidable, that’s often not the case. Let’s first address the "why."
The Six-Week Training Cycle
Findlay Movement is not just a gym, it’s a school of fitness. Not only do we mentor and train professional coaches, but we also teach fitness to our members so they can effectively train in a group setting under the watchful eye of a professional coach. Fitness is incredibly important because in order to be fit you must first be healthy.

When we think about our nutrition and diets, our approach often focuses on what we "shouldn't" be eating or what we should be avoiding or depriving.
Consistency is Key
Just because we are busy or going on vacation we shouldn't give up on our fitness routine but we should be realistic about our level of intensity as well as how much we can do under current circumstances.
