It’s Post 15 weeks since Hip Replacement surgery on my right hip.

I’m loving the Bone Density Course led by @sarahcourtdpt and @laurelbeversdorf, learning from them how to safely and effectively lift heavy with barbells. You might be thinking isn’t it a little soon to be lifting heavy weights? The answer is it depends. When I started this program 6 weeks ago I knew it was going to be a challenge to lift heavy out of the gate (of course I check first with my surgeon, who encouraged me to proceed), then I eased into lifting by learning proper technique with lighter weight, and after a few weeks progressively increased my loads. I knew it was the appropriate weight when my body said YES!

This program is helping my hips and entire body to feel amazing! Besides building bone, I’m building more muscle and getting stronger almost daily.

Delve into the mysteries surrounding navel to spin

Delve into the mysteries surrounding navel to spine in episode 50 of the Movement Logic Podcast.

BRACING VS. BREATHING

In it @sarahcourtdpt and @laurelbeversdorf ask, “does navel to spine truly do what we believe it does?”

Is it just another fraudulent “tummy flattening” ploy?

Also discover:

* The reality behind "right" and "wrong" breathing.

* The influence of social media on our perceptions of breathing.

* The comparison between breathing and bracing in yoga, Pilates, and strength training.

* Common postural tensions that impact our ability to breathe.

* What bracing for a heavy lift genuinely entails (hint: it's not navel to spine!)

* When to incorporate bracing into your strength training routine.

* Pranayama techniques—are they necessary all the time?

* The art of cuing diaphragmatic breathing.

* Exploring if pranayama is the most efficient way to challenge the cardiovascular system and enhance breath capacity.

Dear Boomers, Gen X, and Elder Millenial women, L

Dear Boomers, Gen X, and Elder Millenial women,

Lifting weights not only makes you stronger, it sends a message to other women that they belong strong, too.

Women have historically been objectified, with societal emphasis placed on physical appearance rather than intellect, character, or abilities.

Unrealistic body image standards perpetuated by media and popular culture often lead to us feeling pressured to conform to narrow beauty ideals.

Reject this narrative!

One way we can do this is by lifting weights and getting strong as fuck.

There’s a dual impact to women who strength train—we build our own physical strength + we signal solidarity and empowerment to other women.

Your strength (+ pride in it and commitment to it) challenges traditional stereotypes.

It re-writes physical strength and power as feminine, too. 💪

#youbelongstrong

We talk about this + lots of nitty gritty details about strength in episode 49 of the Movement Logic podcast You Don’t Know How Strong You Are (Says Research).

Did you know that…

👂 Strength training is a lot like yoga in that it is literally ALL about listening to your body.

🤯 Getting close (enough) to failure is key for success in strength training.

🚦Healthy boundaries for women includes learning your no, but also learning your yes, especially when it comes to saying yes to loading sufficiently to build muscular strength and bone density.

@sarahcourtdpt and @laurelbeversdorf talk about this and so much more in Episode 49 of the Movement Logic Podcast titled You Don’t Know How Strong You Are (Says Research).

Hey everyone! We're decluttering our bookshelf and have a few gems up for grabs. Know any yoga teachers stuck in the early 2000s who'd love to add these to their collection? 😜

In episode (48) of the Movement Logic podcast, hosts @sarahcourtdpt and @laurelbeversdorf not only critique these "books" but also dismantle various pelvic dogmas, paving the way for new, evidence-based chapters.

Program design in the bulk of personal training an

Program design in the bulk of personal training and it’s not something yoga or Pilates teachers have familiarity w (unless they resistance train!)

Interestingly, of the 2 components of resistance training—exercise selection and program design—experienced yoga and Pilates teachers DO tend to have a knack for exercise selection.

They’re in touch with the fact that training with certain exercises will prepare people for certain goals better than others (and they can tell you why.)

This is because experienced yoga and Pilates teachers have logged a ton of hours watching lots of people move in a wide (much wider than strength training!) number of ways. They have a strong, learned intuition for human movement.

So the gap, then, when yoga and Pilates teachers wanna start training their people with weights often comes down to program design and their knowledge gap for how to coach students around how much weight, reps and sets, and workouts/week.

Whereas exercise selection is something you can sit on your couch and accomplish in minutes—like writing a sequence!

Program design is THE MAP for how to overload strength within the exercises selected. It unfolds slowly over weeks and months.

And, importantly, this is literally WHEN and HOW progressive overload is applied.

Program design is something you build WITH the people you’re training long term. It’s responsive.

Because program design involves a longer time course, this model doesn’t fit a group fitness format—students popping in sometimes, often to a totally different selection of exercises—it’s not only not something yoga and Pilates teachers learn, it doesn’t fit their business model.

But here’s the deal. You don’t need to get a personal trainer cert to learn this. Sharp, embodied learners can pick it up by experiencing it. You can effectively coach people on how to build strength bc you’ve got a bunch of teaching experience already and you’ve gone through this process (using progressive overload) to get strong yourself.

The best way to learn about strength training is to get strong by following a program.

Interested in a way you can do this this year with me? Check the comments!

👋Sarah here! This is my home office, it measures 8 x12 feet, so you can see it’s not a huge space!

❌Before I got the portable rack I thought there was no room in my house to have a barbell, but I was wrong.

✅I’m able to set up my rack and barbell and do my lifts no problem in here.

It’s also sturdy enough to hold the bar and plates for my back squats, and I also love that I don’t have to mess around with adjusting the height since it’s set up for me.

The rack is portable since it is 2 pieces, which means I can put it in the closet when I’m done with it. The plates also live in my closet, and I lean the bar up against the corner of the room.

Here’s what it looks like in here when I’m lifting – so you really don’t need a lot of space for your equipment at home.
