Adults need power training too!!

Adults are losing power at 1.7 times their rate of strength loss. They need to jump and throw as well as lift. From left to right these 3 are 69, 68 and 48. PS- it’s 5:30 AM. What’s your excuse?

Fun with heavy things…

Carries are a weekly part of my strength program. The Trap Bar Farmer Walk is a variation I really love because the higher load capacity provides a serious challenge your core strength and stability. Try starting with a weight equivalent to your body weight and walk for 20 yards, repeat 3x total. Increase the weight as your ability allows - if you can eventually get to 2x your body weight, you've got a very strong core!! #trapbar #vitalifit #educate #empower #bodyweight #strenghtconditioning
