WOW: Mobility Flows, Functional Strength, & Conditioning

Have you ever tried High Intensity Interval Training? It's extremely popular for improving strength, fitness, and leaving participants in a pool of their own sweat at the end. Scroll down as 3 days of HIIT are on tap for this week's WOW.

Got tight hips? How about t-spine mobility? Is it bad? Do you also need to activate your core and stabilize your shoulders? YES?!? Fantastic!

Choose one of these two mobility and activation series a try before your next workout (especially good before a squat session) or you can use them as a stand-alone exercise/stretch. ***I'm sorry my voice is so weirdly quiet on the voiceovers... it was early, my kids were still sleeping... apparently, this is how I speak under those conditions.

WOW: Functional Training

Admittedly, "functional" training is very buzz-wordy right now. But, when you strip away the sensationalism, you are left with a very purposeful approach to training that can vastly improve your day-to-day life. From shoveling snow to carrying groceries to moving around boxes or even an impromptu foot race with your kids or friends, functional training can get you ready for whatever life has in store.

A little about me: I've worked in pretty much every corner of the fitness industry for about 10 years. I've had the great fortune of spending most of this time working with gifted athletes at every level. I've also had the great opportunity of designing and conducting research projects, writing occasionally for various publications and blogs, competing in powerlifting, and just generally having a killer time pursuing my passions wherever they may take me. Now I own two businesses: one is an athletic performance training company that I started in 2007 at age 26 and the other is a software company startup that was launched in 2014. Paramount to all the awesomeness of my professional career, is my family. My kids are a thrill and my husband continues to be my most critical and important supporter.
