I have been plugging away at improving my overhead squat and it has felt great! I enlisted the help of Krisitn Mohr, a physical therapist at Integrative Therapeutics in Natick, MA. She can be reached at kmohr@integrativetherapeutics.com if you want some work from her. She is a skilled manual therapist and “gets it”!

Here is a series of short 2-3 minute videos bringing your through part of our last appointment.

Thanks for reading!

I found this video on You Tube and LOVE IT! I have watched several of these interviews before but never strung together. THIS GUY GETS IT! I hope you enjoy and find this as powerful as I do. I have watched it several times.

Remember, this is all a mind game and we are more powerful than we have ever dreamed!!!

Make a difference and live your life to it’s fullest!

Honored to be on a similar path as you.

This Corrective Exercise spinal stabilization program is to be done daily and will take about 5 minutes. It will develop endurance and strength of the intrinsic core stabilizers such as the; transverse abdominus, diaphragm, internal obliques. The progression is to build from 3-5 repetitions up to 12-15 repetitions over time. Comment below and let me know what you think!

You can find the MECA Back at http://www.mecaback.com/back-products.html

Fix this posture!!!
“In just 10 minutes a day, you can actually create elastisity to help restore the natural shape of your back!”-quote from their site.

“If you’ve suffered from back pain, you know that there are many different answers out there, none of which provide lasting relief.

Now, that all can change. Really, prevention is as easy as knowing how. Testimonials

The vision of the MECA™ Back Institute is to create awareness about the damage the human spine endures from normal daily activities, the actual cause of most mechanical back problems.

Our ultimate goals are to:

1. Reduce the frequency of lower back pain issues

2. Lower the costs associated with back care

3. Provide products that support, enhance, stabilize and maintain good body mechanics and posture

4. Inform the public of the origin of mechanical back pain and provide real solutions to prevent this damage. ”

“What does MECA mean?

The vision of MECA™ is to create awareness about how and why human spines
develop mechanical problems leading to degeneration and pain, and to provide
real solutions to prevent this damage.

MECA – an acronym for Mobility, Elasticity, Core Stability and Adaptability – stands for the four integrated components that lead to overall back health:

MOBILITY:
The independent motion between spinal joints.

ELASTICITY:
The resiliency of soft tissue (muscles, tendons & ligaments). Elasticity is not flexibility.

CORE STABILITY:
When our muscles work to maintain stability of the spine and pelvis while the limbs are moving.

ADAPTABILITY:
The integration of these three elements, and referring to our spine’s ability to effectively compensate for the insults of daily living. 85% of the U.S. population will have a lower back problem in their lifetime. It is the position of the MECA Back Institute that this astonishing statistic is largely due to a simple lack of understanding of how to maintain the health of our lower backs.”-from their site.

Re-visit, recite and re-write your goals daily. Put them on 3×5 index cards, carry a notebook with you, put them on your dry erase board, make an audio-visual presentation whatever! Just Re-work them and re-inspire your self with them.


Brain Tracy is one of my top choices for goal setting;

Enjoy the short video and never give up on your dreams!

For many that can feel overwhelming. I know it can feel that way for me. To make your BHAGs more manageable you must break them down into actionable steps. Anthony Robins calls this chunking. Brian Tracy does a wonderful job of laying this process out as well

During this short video I talk about going through this process. The example I use is for weight loss but this can be used for financial goals, community goals, behavior modification etc. Feel free to share this with your clients and incorporate it into your life:)

Thanks for reading and watching!

I have been waiting for the technology in HFPN to catch up to it’s
original plan.

I have waited all I can wait and I can wait no more!!!

I have am putting some stuff together and know you will love it. You
will have the nitty gritty details in the next couple of weeks. For
now here is the big picture.

I am running a workshop on February 20th here in Natick, MA with a
colleague of mine who is an amazing physical therapist, Todd Forman.
We will be bridging the gaps between a squat assessment, multiplanar
transitional assessments and goniometry. YES!

We will be covering all of this, with goniometry in a 1 day workshop.

It will be game changing and the A-Team will have first crack at it.

I have also worked out a deal with Todd to get my A-Teamers that are
in my HFPN group a copy of the DVD “Goniometry for Personal Trainers”
that we shot last month DIRT CHEAP.

So Happy New Year and keep an eye out for the links to the
Goniometry/Range of Motion DVD and the Range of Motion Workshop on
2/20.
