.r.ethink warmup - Sufi twist. . This is a great warmup for lower back, hips, neck and shoulder. . Note: tucking the chin to chest in the downward motion of the twist and turming the torso in the direction you're headed. Lift chin and open shoulders as you enter the upward motion. Press into your thighs to open the opposing hip. . #warmup #yogi #shalayoga #squamish #twistandshout #yoga #movementpatterns

.r.emember that every ounce of power comes from your core and your center of gravity.... . Core stability is the foundation of core strength... and core strength is the foundation of every other exercise. . If anything, core work should be one of the focal points of ALL exercise programs. If not, you're cheating yourself of gains; strength, balance, speed, agility, power generation and every other part of fitness. Plus its way more fun to include! . Today's tools; - BOSU (both sides up) - Swiss ball - Medicine ball - EZ curl bar - Dumbbells - Cables . 30 min Workout @stormstrength ; - kneeling on SB + Overhead MB circles - kneeling on SB + bicep curls - kneeling on SB + 1 arm lateral raise - BOSU jump squats - BOSU arabesque - 1 arm, 1 leg arabesque cable row - 1 arm chest fly - feet in air - BOSU - 1 leg oppositional lateral raise .

.r.eflect on why you're doing your daily routine. . Does it serve you physically? Mentally? Spiritually? ...does it enhance your health, your wellbeing? Will you feel better after doing it? Do you know what you need to do to achieve this? Do you have an instructor/guru/teacher/facilitator to help? . Here's a little taste of what the #stormstrength crew had to do today to start their Sundays... these folks work hard, and I'm proud to be crew for them on their journey towards health and fitness!
