    Spring ahead! Prepare for outdoor activities

    Spring ahead! Prepare for outdoor activities

    When the weather warms up, people transition from indoor to outside fitness pursuits like running, cycling, sports and gardening. This transition can lead to overuse injuries as the exuberance of sun and beautiful weather encourages overdoing it. Brian and Nora offer a voice of moderation and encourage you to prepare for the transition with a progressive fitness program that reflects your goals and desires.

    Core Concepts: Exploring the Inner Unit

    Core Concepts: Exploring the Inner Unit

    The foundation of the core is sometimes called the “inner unit”. Made up of the transverse abdominis, multifid, pelvic floor and diaphragm, the inner unit connects the spine, ribcage and pelvis, supports the abdomen, creates functional stability and protects us from low back injuries. Brian and Nora discuss the elements of the inner unit and ways to activate, balance and strengthen it in this dynamic episode.
