    3 Ways to Assess Your Leg Strength

    Join me today to check out 3 leg strength assessment tests! These fun tests call on the strength of our legs and posterior chain, plus our balance, flexibility and explosive power. Since we as women carry over half of our skeletal muscle in our lower body, keeping our muscle tissue and bones strong as we age helps us maintain our balance and functional movement over time. These tests are a great tool to help you check in to see where you're at and if anything needs a little more attention. We're covering…. ⭐️ Taking care of little you and future you ⭐️ The sit to stand/sit to rise test ⭐️ Three moves that strengthen the muscles needed to come up and down from the floor ⭐️ The importance of staying limber and stretching regularly ⭐️ The wall sit test ⭐️ Standing broad jump test ⭐️ The importance of explosive power ⭐️ Training with good form and alignment ⭐️ The cortisol-cardio connection in menopause Watch the video of this episode to see demonstrations for grip strength tests:https://thebettyrocker.com/3-ways-to-assess-your-leg-strength/ Links to follow up from this episode: Grip Strength tests podcast Betty Rocker training and eating programs The Ripped Rockstar Challenge Low Impact Challenge Free Foundations of Functional Fitness Workshop

    EMDR Therapy and Mental Health Support with Susie Morgan, LMFT, BCETS

    EMDR stands for "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." It is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method that helps people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms, and directly treats the way memory is stored in the brain. It is shown to be a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences. Join me in learning more about EMDR and the wide range of people who can benefit from it with the founder of the Precision EMDR Academy Susie Morgan, LMFT, BCETS (who I worked with personally) to learn more about the benefits of this work, the vital importance of our memory storage network, attachment theory and how our sense of security forms the foundation for our sense of self.
