Staying nimble as we age is so important! That's why in the latest issue of my Fit Daddy Fundamentals newsletter, I covered the 5th fundamental - Stretch Goals. Stretching keeps your body mobile and injury-free now, and helps prevent falls later in life. It only takes a few minutes a day. I explain the benefits of stretching, how to do dynamic vs static stretching, and share sample routines. Read the full post below!👇 👇 Let me know if you start stretching regularly! #fitness #health #wellness #mobility #injuryprevention #stretching #dads #fatherhood #healthy #happy #family #dadlife

Should we ALL be doing Weight Training????? As my photo here illustrates, 100%- ALL of us! Now, do we NEED a gym....... Not necessarily (i cover this more later in the week), we just need to be doing a ‘balanced resistance strength routine’ that utilizes our: Leg Muscles💪 Pushing Muscles💪 Pulling Muscles💪 Core Muscles💪 This can be done just as easily with some easily purchased and cost effective ‘Home Equipment’ (as the lockdowns showed us) Again I would recommend Weight Training IF you want to🔽 FEEL STRONGER as a man✅ ‘Naturally’ BOOST your Testosterone & Libido Levels ‘’ (which significantly decrease last over the age of 30/35)✅ Increase your Basal Metabolic Rate (B.M.R e.g how many calories your body burns over a 24 hour period- (again which significantly decreases over the age of 30/35)✅ Increase your Muscle Size + Lean Tissues✅ Avoid weak bones and injuries as we get older✅ Look AWESOME ✅ To receive 3 day ‘ At home training programs’, consisting of Legs, Push & Pull all with Core exercises, type "STRONG" in the comments #health #healthylifestyle #healthcoach #healthtips #healthandwellness #healthandwellness #healthy #exercise #exercisemotivation #time #timemanagement #rolemodel #parent #parenting #parents #parentlife #parenthood #parentingtips #busydad #busydads #dad #dadlife #dadbod #dads #fitness #fitness #corestrength #core #strong

BOSU Bird Dog (dome up)✅ For more weekly health & fitness tips, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel - simply search for - 'James Tang Fitness’ A BOSU bird dog is great core stabilization exercise. It also builds strength and endurance, reduces lower back pain, increases shoulder and hip mobility and improves posture, balance and coordination.  The “contralateral” pattern, with opposite arm and leg movements, makes it good for your brain, too. * Kneel on the BOSU dome * Adjust the knees so that the right knee is in the centre of the dome; it should stack the hip directly over the knee creating a 90-degree angle * Extend the left leg straight back, with the hip parallel to the floor * Keep the left toe on the floor for balance as you extend the right arm in front of you    * Once you feel stable, move the extended arm and leg together to about hip/tabletop height, reach through the right fingertips all the way to the left toes * Bring the arm and leg back in, drawing the bellybutton in and up, engaging the core and creating a slight round in the spine * Repeat on the opposite side Beginners can simplify the move by working just the arm or just the leg. Make the bird dog harder by placing the non-working hand on the BOSU ball with the knee. Please consult your PT before starting any exercise or diet program. All kinds of exercise activities are potentially dangerous, and you must seek advice from the appropriate health care professionals.

Front Lever✅ One skill that is considered a staple of calisthenics training is the front lever. The front lever is a static hold that is typically performed on the rings or a bar, and it requires that you hold your body in a horizontal position with arms straight. This skill requires immense strength in the lats and core. The front lever is also the perfect counterpart to the planche. Performing a front lever puts you in essentially the same body position as a planche, but inverted, and therefore works opposing muscle groups. Please consult your PT before starting any exercise program. All kinds of exercise activities are potentially dangerous, and you must seek advice from the appropriate health care professionals.

🏃♀️ Meet Ashley! She's one of our incredible clients – a go-getter in everything, and an awesome business owner! Like many of us, life can get really busy, as she juggles a lot. This Fall, she's taking on a marathon! 🎉 Before she hits the pavement, though, Ashley wanted to get back into consistent Strength Training. She knew finding a routine she could stick to was so important. So, we sat down together and created a plan that fit her schedule and her goals – and she's been crushing it ever since! Here's the thing – what works for Ashley might not work for everyone. Same goes for schedules – one size definitely doesn't fit all. It's all about finding what works best for YOU. Currently, Ashley's hitting the gym three times a week, and you know what? It's perfect for her. You don't need to live at the gym to see results – consistency is key. We've even got a plan in place to adjust things as her running mileage ramps up. And guess what? It's totally doable, no crazy extremes necessary. It's all about finding what fits YOUR schedule best. We can’t wait to see all that Ashley accomplishes this year. Ashley, keep it up! #liveLANDED #alwaysMOVEforward #healthyknoxville #StrengthTraining #FitnessCenter #GymLife #FitnessGoals #TrainHard #StrengthAndConditioning #WorkoutMotivation #Weightlifting #FitLife #MuscleBuilding #FitnessCommunity #FitInspiration #FitKnoxville #Healthylifestyle #HealthyLiving #HealthandFitness #Nutrition #FitnessJourney #Livelanded #healthyknoxville #PersonalTrainer #PersonalTrainerKnoxville #GroupTraining #GroupTrainingKnoxville
