Self Administered Myofascial Release Workshop FIT360DC Saturday, January 20 @ 1:00PM Come learn how myofacial release can bring restoration and balance to your pre or post workout. Students will also learn about how to release latent and active trigger points, physical restrictions resulting from trauma, as well as those stemming from common daily activities.

HAND DOMINANCE ✋🏿👈🏿👉🏿. ▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️ There are several theories behind why hand dominance exist. The most popular theories are linked to evolution, genetic inheritance and culture. If things are placed in there proper perspective it’s easy to see the shaping factors for hand dominance has very little to do with genetic inheritance. It’s more a case of various cultural adaptations overriding our biology. The human brain and body are both symmetrical but their relationship is contralateral. This means the left side of the brain controls the right side of the human body and the right side controls the left. The brain creates pathways (neuromuscular patterns) throughout the body, largely based on habits we establish early during development during childhood. Many people in modern culture end up right handed because the left hemisphere is largly linked to the way we learn. Every person I have trained claims to have a “good” and “bad” side when it comes to movement. Differences in the sizes of bilateral muscles are usually the direct result use. Unless you were born with an anatomical defect or encountered a situation in life that altered you physically you are a bilateral organism that moves contralaterally. What you do on one side you can and should practice on the other. The rewards boundless. #body #humanmovement #biomechanics #weighttraining #training #functionalpatterns #functionalfitness #dmv #personaltrainer #outdoor #fitness #core #stability #strength #certifiedpersonaltrainer #nasm #dontjustlookstrongbestrong #sanuneferamen #HUMANBYDESIGN

Saturday morning commute. #NATURE #FALL (at Takoma Park, Maryland)

CONNECTION: A house is a dwelling. Nature is home.

RECIPROCATION: A mutual giving and receiving. - - - Every muscle in the body has antithesis. Our bodies are designed to work synergistically to achieve equalibrium in every actions from standing to running and jumping. For years, most of the exercises I used to strengnthen my body took place in the sagittal plane. Pull-ups, push-ups, dips and squats are all great exercises. However, perfoming these exercises and others in the sagittal plane can cause malalignments which lead to injury during standard movement patterns, such as moving through the gait cycle (walking). The chances of injury increase when a body trained mostly in the sagittal plane is subject to more dynamic activites such as sports. The body is never doing the same thing on both sides at the same time. Therefore, it is counterintuitive to continues using training programs dominated by sagittal plane exercises. Rotate. Your bodies will thank you for it. 🔁🔃🔄 (at The Yards Park)

📚🔏 SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES [in which direction is the arrow pointing?] - - Harari hits the nail on the head with this statement. As modern humans, we have far too many practices that are nonsustainable. This also includes what we do to stay "fit". The logic we apply to our training practices affects the direction we will take. Certainly, you can do whatever you want to do, but what is the projected outcome? Strength is nothing without wisdom. - - #body #humanmovement #biomechanics #weighttraining #training #functionalpatterns #functionalfitness #dmv #personaltrainer #outdoor #fitness #core #stability #strength #certifiedpersonaltrainer #nasm #dontjustlookstrongbestrong #sanuneferamen #HUMANBYDESIGNDC
