#weheavy

This winter we've been working s ton of locomotion, carrying, crawling with our Iron Kids. Today we put them through a simple obstacle course that proved to be just the right amount of work for our young champions. Some pushing, some pulling, some hanging and jumping and many big smiles. No@one particular component was too challenging but by the end of the circuit they were happy to be finished! #ironeaters #weheavy #thriveironkids #liveastrongerlife #flagtafffitness #thriveathletics (at Thrive Athletics)

This morning Kerry was not feeling very challenged with the standard variations on the slider leg curl so, we spruced it up by adding some rubber bands! The leg curl is a amazing exercise to directly target the hamstrings and is ESSENTIAL if you're a runner (unless you like running in pain!), but, also great for building a superior posterior! We like to use it as an accessory movement after deadlifts or even as a warm up to deadlift work. The key is to keep the hips as high as possible and the abs and glutes fully engaged while you extend the leg. Bring the leg back in under control. Don't rush this exercise! If you're not in the habit of doing direct posterior work start without the bands and build it up until it feels pretty easy. Once it feels easy, you'll need to add some resistance to continue to see results. #weheavy #thriveathletics #flagtafffitness #flagstaffpersonaltraining #flagstaffpersonaltrainer #liveastrongerlife #ironeaters #superbooty (at Thrive Athletics)

Flagstaff Kettlebell Club getting one last heavy session before our AZ state meet next weekend. Strength endurance at it's finest! #boltmethod #weheavy #flagstafffitness #thriveathletics #azkettlebelllifting #kettlebellsport (at Thrive Athletics)

Today we did a simple strength circuit: 30 mins EMOTM, alternating exercises each minute. 10 x Kettlebell Swings, 5x Pull Ups, 5 x Push Ups. Exercises should be medium hard, so choose weights that allow you to finish the workout without skipping reps. It's VERY appropriate to use bands for your pull ups or add elevation for your push ups. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think! In the comments. #liveastrongerlife #thriveathletics #flagstafffitness #weheavy (at Thrive Athletics)
