Question: Coach what do you think are the best strength exercises to get optimally fit?
Well, I just recently got this email question from a reader and strength student on the blog. I’ve written about this before, but I thought it was worth covering here again. I suppose if you held a gun to my head and forced me to pick the best exercises to build optimal fitness I would go with this list.
Email Question: Coach what do you think are some of the most underrated exercises for getting into optimal shape?
My response to the reader was a bit more brief, but I decided to elaborate on my answer here with today’s post.
This is an excellent question. Even though the answer is going to involve some rather simple movements the fact remains most people don’t apply these in their pursuit of fitness.
I don’t care how strong you think you are if you can’t apply the correct hand position for your push-ups you’re killing your results from the movement. I think you’ll find today’s post to be a valuable resource for you the next time you hit the deck for some push-ups.
The original publishing date of today’s article was back on October 22, 2015. I thought that this was something that needed to be rolled out today to give your attitude and mental fitness a good polish.
We often get focused on the external things that go on around us and forget to focus on the real change that we can make which happens internally. I hope you enjoy today’s post.
I often hear people in conversations talk about life in a way that shapes negative outcomes. Many of these conversations boil down to them not being happy in relationships, feeling that the world owes them something, they’re unhappy about being out of shape, or that they are constantly broke and can’t find work.
I personally believe life is what it is. It’s a journey full of challenges, but the biggest challenges are not those external things that happen to you, but rather what you do to react to those things!
Today I want to talk about the how to breathe when lifting. When I was younger I had a coach tell me that I should inhale when lowering the weight and that I should exhale when lifting the weight up. However, I always struggled with this and I frequently found myself not following my old coach’s advice. So who was right?
