Were you truly there to get better? And what I mean by that is…

Were you there because your physician told you that you had to go…

And then so you can take the next step [potentially] to getting a cortisone shot or even surgery?

Failed PT doesn't mean it will never work...I think it depends on the connection with the physical therapist & instilling trust with each other!

You are in control of your outcomes --> PT is only one hour of your time but what you do in the other 23 hours is critical to your success!

Training age does not truly mean how many years you’ve been exercising, per se.

It’s more about the invested time you have truly put forth into digging deeper into exercise/training for specific goals such as sport competition / health longevity / wellness gains / etc.

There are three (3) “categories” I would like to expose you to in order to see where you see yourself fit:

I have personally taken on these principles / categories of progression over the past 4 years within my health & fitness journey & could not be more happier as to digging deeper into my WHY to my training game plan!

I attribute my gains to the Functional Bodybuilding concepts that SHOWN me how I can keep myself resilient to injury & experience less burnout!

RPE stands for “Rating of Perceived Exertion”

The is a common spectrum, from 0-10, utilized to help gauge your effort levels based on your energy balance.

Your RPE should vary from day-to-day based on some common areas of consideration including:

I love this example by Functional BodyBuilding explaining the “exertion talk test” to help determine your effort output, especially during exercise.

Heart rate variability (HRV) has been a hot topic over the past year or so in response to the body’s ability to recover efficiently & effectively.

HRV is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is made up of both the parasympathetic + sympathetic nervous systems.

More & more research is being performed in the fitness world, especially with elite athletes.

But…what about the general population in response to maintaining a healthy lifestyle?

Today we discuss 3 questions:

Also, I wanted to share with you my response to an “overtraining” experience earlier this year & how I got myself out of it (see links below).

Physical therapists are known for assessing movement patterns & the body’s capability to perform symmetrical, strong lifts/carries/holds/mobility.

PTs help reveal movement asymmetries which strongly affect muscle strength imbalances.

Once these movement asymmetries are shown, re-shaping the foundation to focus on quality of movement first will only enhance significant improvement in muscle strength balances.

HELL to the YES!

We can’t fully avoid the common experience of pain; however, the goal is to experience it less often & learn how to manage/recognize pain before it fully takes over!

The ultimate goal is to build resilience & capacity to endure life pursuits.

So once pain subsides, then we must continue to revisit movement foundations & seek to attain resiliency/capacity into the body’s joints, tendons, bones, muscles, ligaments, etc.

HELL to the NO!

But…the only time you may need to cease your gym membership will depend on the type or extent of surgery you may be undergoing.

If you're invested in your health/wellness, then you will continue to train/exercise other areas that are not “injured” while you’re on the mend to healing.

This will only help you in the long run & make your recovery process more smooth &…FASTER!
