  • Ready to elevate? . . Prone Back Extension variations on a mat are great for waking up the Mid Back and Shoulder Stabilizers, as well as incorporating some Hip Extension. . . In this variation I’m using a ball to encourage more extension with the assistance of my Lats and Chest muscles. Connecting the arms to the back and feeling the irradiation from the effort with the upper body, kindly assists the trunk to elevate. Again, this is a variation with a prop and the shape is bigger than I would get just using my body and the floor. . . Because we often don’t train the back in this manner, it’s a great position to encourage the spine into extension as well as the mild Hip Extension we get as well with the leg kicks. . . Remember you are making shapes with your body-the shapes matter including how you do them! Form is key! Enjoy ❤️ . . . . . #backextension #backday #posturaltraining #posturecorrection #pilatesbody #pilatesmat #pilateshasyourback #hipextension #flexiblespine #strongback #fitlife #strongwomen #crosstrain #bayareatrainer #mindfulaxis

  • Hey y’all quick story time: I happened to discover @mindpumpsal @mindpumpadam @mindpumpjustin @mindpumpdoug via YouTube a few years back. I watched one of their videos and said to myself “Dude, finally some clear raw truthful fitness info on YouTube that also had killer production”...Then I fell down the rabbit hole and discovered their podcast @mindpumpmedia and became hooked. These guys have a message that the fitness world desperately needed to hear and see: TRUTH. . . The fitness environment is so clouded with hype, influencers and tons of bullshit marketing. However it takes the smart consumer to know the difference, and these guys bring it all to the surface. . . They are like a genuine symphony the way they unpack the bullshit in this industry and continue to educate themselves on the evolving space. If you haven’t heard their podcast, I highly recommend it.✌🏻 . . 👆🏻This was a great opportunity to see them answer more questions at a live event in SF. Love you guys! . . . . . #mindpumplive #mindpump #rawfitnesstruth #smartconsumer #dontbelivethehype #educateyourself #fitnesspodcast #realtalk #youtubefitness #fitlife #educateyourself #mindfulaxis

  • Practicing movement can give you more than power and strength. It can also give you GRACE. . . Moving with grace doesn’t take away from your strength or other fitness endeavors. You can have both. Yup, I just gave you permission 🤗. . . Why? The more you move, the more you absorb and learn about your body. In that process, you can learn how to control your body and become aware of how to move it. . . Free Workout Guides link in Bio ☝🏻 . . For me, it’s been since I was little. For others they might be just starting this experience. So give yourself an opportunity to treat movement as a time to CONNECT with you. It’s not a time to beat yourself up, punish yourself for bad food choices, or even validate yourself through pushing weight with bad form. . . We are so driven by comparing ourselves to others it can take us AWAY from our own movement practice. . . But don’t let distractions have the power over you and your connection to your body. It’s your time. It’s your body. It’s your experience. Now go MOVE IT ❤️! . . . . . #mindfulaxis #mindfulmover #takeaction #bepowerful #bedynamic #movewithgrace #pilates #stretching #moveyourbody #paloalto #blessed #my2cents #intuition #strongandflexible #fitlife

  • No one wants to wake up one day and say “Man I want to be a SHITTY mover and have joint pain and mobility issues.”😂 . . But sometimes mobility can be what’s lacking for you alongside your lifts. For others it might be building more strength and body awareness, then reducing the amount of time spent stretching. . . No Body is perfect. But, learning to move well has a huge carryover beyond your lifting skills, it’s about quality of life too. . . Now if you’re an individual who has not practiced various modalities you will have limited appreciation for the amount of carryover of different practices. It takes the effort to try something on more than once and see for yourself. So I suggest you do practice other forms of movement. Don’t let your EGO limit your ability to MOVE your body. . . Trust me, it’s great to love a certain practice and get really good at one thing, but staying in that camp and that same zip code forever only limits you in the future, and can hinder your efforts in the gym. . . Creating your own recipe for movement is really where it’s at. Identify your current goals, see what’s missing and then try other things to see what happens for you. . . I’ve always said that not just for myself, but for my clients too. Your recipe can be designed to add balance and composition to your body as well as focusing on mobility and strength. Or even focusing on heavy lifts and mobility while still making your favorite yoga class. Whatever SPEAKS to you! And remember you are EVOLVING and your recipe can change as you do. . . You don’t have to be dictated by FEAR. You’re DYNAMIC. You GET to move around and experience movement in your body. It’s your recipe and you GET to make it! . . ✌🏻 . . . . . #moveyourbody #doyouevenlift #mobility #mobilitywod #mindfulaxis #mindfulpractice #crosstraining #movewell #ego #crossfit #olympicweightlifting #strengthtraining #pilates #yoga #stretching #barre #bootcamp #fitlife #balancedlife #moveeveryday
