For those that couldn't join yesterday's HIIT workout here is the recording! We had a blast.. and lots of sweat! I will come up with a solution for better recording quality for the next session, but for now give this workout a go and try to keep up!

Hey Coaches and folks-- As a novice to the program, and being new to the gym at the Y, I do one or two workouts a week there. I am continuing to acclimate and learn the conventions of the place. While doing goblet squats with a new higher weight, a fellow Y member noticed my last set, and suggested a weight belt would help keep posture consistent through each of the sets. Perhaps I should be more mindful of form and, if necessary, use a lighter weight. What do you guys think?

If your hip hinge is sloppy, you’re wasting strength and setting yourself up for injury. Start every deadlift or kettlebell swing by pushing your hips back until you feel a stretch in the hamstrings, then drive forward with your glutes, keeping a neutral spine the whole time. Today, practice the “hip‑hinge wall drill”: stand a foot away from a wall, hinge forward, and make sure your glutes touch the wall before your knees bend – repeat for three sets of ten. Own the movement, lock the form, and crush your lifts this week. 👊

Coach is on light duty for the time being 😅 Just got cleared for light exercise after hernia repair surgery, so for the next few weeks I’ll be posting some short, simple workouts that almost anyone can do. This one is a 500 rep full body band workout that takes about 20 minutes total. 5 rounds: 25 Band Curls 25 Band Lateral Raises 25 Goblet Squats 25 Elbows Back Squats Each round is 100 reps total. Rest 1 minute between rounds and get to work 👊

Do this before your next ab workout! You’ll immediately notice a difference. @Coach Myles 👉 A lot of people rush straight into abs exercises without first learning how to brace and engage the core. Taking 30 seconds to slow down your breathing and create tension helps improve the mind-muscle connection so your abs actually fire during the exercise. Simple, but it makes a huge difference 👊
