My perspective going through the pandemic year one

Everyday there seems to be a bit more hope that gyms will open back again.

That’s why I felt like it was a great opportunity to bring our professional athletic therapist, Helen, to share some knowledge and wisdom about going back to resistance training in a safe way.

I’m sure many of you are excited to throw those bands and 10 pounders away in a closet forever, so here’s some great information on how to start this new chapter of your journey. 

Helen has been working with our team for a while now and has done wonders with many of my clients dealing with injuries or chronic pain. This conversation is also a chance to showcase the variety of great services we offer at TSTF.

Here are some key points we discussed:

• The best approach to go back to the gym post lockdown.
• Load selection recommendations.
• How to prepare before gyms open.
• Warm up recommendations.
• Tips to fast track your way to heavier loads.

I hope you guys enjoy this content and get a few great tips out of it. 

I’m very excited to share our first TeamSalomon Coaches Round Table with Clark, Helia and I. In this first episode we discuss our opinions and recommendations for home training and nutrition during quarantine. We understand that it’s everyone’s reality at the moment and even if sometimes it feels like that’s all people talk about, we still wanted to share our own perspective with you guys.
Hopefully this content gives you a couple ideas or help improve your mindset towards the matter. I’m very privileged to have these two individuals in my corners and I’m so excited to see us grow as team in the futur.
Enjoy!
