We loaded up on sympathy baguettes for UTMB racers before recording this great episode! The main topic was digesting everything from UTMB week, including Jim Walmsley reinforcing his GOAT status, Courtney Dauwalter reinforcing hers, the coolest coaching story ever from Scott Johnston (who coached Ruth Croft and Tom Evans to UTMB wins), training takeaways, and so much more! The science breakdown looked at a new study that is being used to argue that low carb doesn't hurt high-intensity performance. We dive into the study design and statistics to show why that's the wrong conclusion. And this one had so many great topics! Other topics: going dark on the trails, Megan's new fast shoe, our trail supershoe rundown, the new Champion Plan for 100k to 100 miles, the minimum dose of passive heat training, using weight vests, what makes a good coach, a relationship question, relying on liquid carbs, engaging the glutes, drinking from streams, and climbing form.What's for dinner? We'll take the European Aid Station--baguettes, sausage, cheese, sparkling water, techno music, and being unable to drop out due to the language barrier.We love you all!

Lunges are a cornerstone of healthy aging - building lower-body strength, improving balance, and supporting joint health. This episode is the third in our twenty-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. Miami-based fitness coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins contrast front, back, and side lunges, explaining how each targets different muscle groups and mimics gait to enhance functional movement.Shebah underscores posture, pelvic floor engagement, and proprioception as critical factors in reducing chronic pain and preventing falls, while Nate connects lunge training to real-world demands, from pickleball to travel, arguing that balance and foot placement are non-negotiable for injury prevention. We also discuss how integrating short, accessible sessions into everyday life - at home, in gyms, or even at airports - support longevity.You should seek medical advice before embarking on a new exercise.This episode is the second in our 20-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. -----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryThe shocking truth about prolonged sitting will make you want to stand up right now. While most of us understand sitting too much isn't ideal, few realize the serious health consequences backed by alarming research. Even if you're someone who exercises regularly, extended periods of sitting can dramatically increase your risk of chronic diseases.Research published in top medical journals reveals that sitting for long periods correlates with a 112% increased risk of diabetes and significantly higher chances of developing heart disease, particularly for women who sit 10+ hours daily. What's truly eye-opening is that these risks persist regardless of how much you exercise outside those sitting periods. The damage isn't limited to physical health either – prolonged sitting reduces the production of mood-enhancing brain chemicals like endorphins and serotonin, potentially contributing to depression and anxiety.But there's hope in small changes. Studies show that just two minutes of walking every hour could lower your risk of premature death by 33%. Ten minutes of daily physical activity reduces waist circumference and insulin resistance. Even simple habits like standing during phone calls, climbing stairs, or stretching before getting out of bed can counteract "gluteal amnesia" – also known as "dead butt syndrome" – where your body literally forgets how to properly activate crucial muscles after sitting too long. These small movement breaks reawaken your muscles, refresh your mind, and protect your long-term health.Ready to break the sitting cycle? Start with just 10 minutes of movement daily. Set reminders to stand every 50 minutes. Dance, stretch, or walk – whatever gets you moving. Your body and brain will thank you immediately and for years to come. Remember: if you don't pay attention to your health now, you'll be forced to pay attention to your illness later. What small movement can you add to your routine today?https://www.smallspacepilates.comSupport the show
In this episode of Cricket Matters, we dive into the fatal flaw most club cricketers have in their batting technique and why it's holding them back from becoming more powerful and athletic at the crease. We unpack what this flaw is, why it happens, and how you can start fixing it today.You'll Learn:The hidden flaw in most batting stances – Why standing with your knees over your toes might feel powerful but actually puts you in a weak, unathletic position.The difference between a hinge and a squat – How confusing the two movement patterns is costing cricketers their balance, power, and shot range.Why glute activation is critical – Discover how failing to use your glutes limits your ability to generate force, move up and down the wicket, and hit big shots.Simple drills to retrain your hinge pattern – Practical exercises you can start immediately to unlock a stronger, more athletic batting stance.Key Takeaways:Knees over toes is not an athletic stance. It restricts movement, weakens balance, and causes batters to fall over when trying to play shots.Most cricketers don't hinge properly. Instead, they squat without realizing it, which limits their ability to generate rotational and hip-driven power.Glutes are the engine of batting power. Without activating them, you lose explosiveness, core strength, and the ability to transfer energy into your shots.The hinge is like a slingshot. Mastering it allows you to load up with tension and release power into your swing, rather than just relying on quads and calves.Correcting the hinge improves everything. From better balance to more powerful shot-making, retraining this pattern is essential for long-term cricket performance.Quotes:“Knees over toes when batting is the fatal flaw—it makes you unbalanced and unathletic.”“Most players think they're hinging, but they're really just squatting.”“Your hamstrings are the strings of the bow—you need to load them to release real power.”Find James on: Instagram: @jamesbreese Twitter: @_jamesbreese To learn more about Cricket Matters and download your FREE copy of The High-Performance Handbook, please visit www.cricketmatters.com

How to use your glutes in rowing. Timestamps 00:45 Are your glutes activating? David Frost (webinar speaker - Functional Movement for over 60s) said Are your glutes 'along for the ride'? https://fastermastersrowing.com/member-register/functional-strength-and-movement/ Are your glutes working - how do you know if they are working? Watch video of yourself rowing - check your legs are pressing down flat and your arms draw. But can you see your back swing? Are you starting leaning forward and do your shoulders move dynamically? Activating the back swing uses the glutes. They are the hinge that connects your legs to your back. 02:30 Legs initiate the drive The power phase starts with your legs and when you get to a point where your legs are very nearly straight, you should be beginning your back swing. If it's passive and isn't accelerating the oar through the water (if the water mound in front of the spoon reduces) you aren't using your back enough to go faster than the boat is currently going through the water. Your body has to move quicker than the blade to keep pressure on the face of the oar spoon. 03:30 Why glutes matter If your back is passive then you've probably lost connection to the foot stretcher. When you do activate your glutes you're recruiting extra muscles to power your stroke. But it's hard to activate the glutes. Strengthening the glutes is also important so we can make them really useful. Christiano Ronaldo the footballer was warming up with glute activations - this is interesting - an elite pro athlete still feels the need to activate his glutes before starting playing. 06:00 Exercises for glute strength 1 - Clamshell - lie on your side on the floor, knees bent and ankles pressed together. Raise and lower the upper knee. Swap sides. 2 - Fire Hydrant - kneeling on all fours with hands below the shoulders. Lift one knee out to the side with a bent leg. Raise and lower the knee keeping the ankle at the same height as the knee. 3 - Crab Walk - Using a gym elastic band across your thighs, crouch down a little and walk sideways 10 steps in each direction. 08:00 How to activate glutes for rowing First know how to activate the muscle and know what it feels like when it is working before trying it in the boat. When approaching the catch clench your bum (butt). You are looking for the feeling of 'holding in a fa*t and you don't want to let it out'. This activates the muscles and when you drive with your legs, the muscles are engaged. Watch the numbers on the erg first - do 10 strokes approaching the catch first. Then do normal rowing without clenching for 10 strokes. For an improved back swing, the body swing only drill is good to do - get a video of it free from the Coach Mastermind course.
Alright girl—pull up a seat, because we're about to have the conversation you've been waiting for. Today, we're talking about glutes. But not just how to train them… We're talking about how to train them beautifully. Because there's a difference between doing exercises and training properly. There's a difference between just moving and moving well. And in my world—we care about doing things properly. If you've been showing up, doing your squats, smashing your glutes with banded circuits and donkey kicks—but your results aren't matching your effort? This EP is your intervention. I'm giving you the full breakdown of what actually builds a bangin' butt: The anatomy The movement strategy The programming framework The exact training dose And I'll show you why glutes are not just for aesthetics—they're the engine behind your strength, posture, and performance. If you want your training to work, if you want glutes that do things (and also fill out a pair of jeans like nothing else)—this is where we begin. Here's what happens when you train glutes the right way: You feel your glutes light up—without your back kicking in You get stronger every week You look in the mirror and actually see change People at the gym ask what you're doing Niggles disappear You stop chasing workouts and start building a body you love KEY TAKEAWAY Your glutes are not just for show—they are the engine behind your power, posture, and performance. Building glutes requires a clear hierarchy: Mobility → Stability → Strength → Intensity. Most women don't need more effort—they need better method and strategy. Mechanical tension and metabolic stress are both essential for hypertrophy. There's no “best glute exercise.” You need a combination of: Hip- and knee-dominant lifts Vertical and horizontal loading Lengthened and shortened positions Use constraints (machines, tempo, support) to own the movement before chasing load. Ditch random glute circuits and upgrade to intelligent, progressive programming. QUOTES "Glutes aren't just your side booty—they're the queen of aesthetics and the engine of your power." "If you can't own the movement, you'll never apply enough force to grow the muscle." "Your mobility opens the door. Stability walks into the room. Strength is the magnetic woman inside." "Stop doing random glute circuits with bands. That's not a strategy. That's a distraction." "It's not about doing more—it's about doing the right things, in the right order, the right way." Want to train your glutes properly, get real-time feedback, and finally build a bangin' butt that performs and looks incredible? Get in the room.

https://youtu.be/48KSnqXn4bcRack‑Pull Like a Champion — Eric Kim‑Inspired Guide1. Why Rack Pulls RockTop‑end strength & thickness – the shortened range lets you load ~20 % heavier than floor deadlifts, overloading glutes, spinal erectors & upper traps. Target sticking points – set the pins just below the spot where your deadlift usually stalls. Lower‑back friendly – the higher start position reduces shear stress if you're rehabbing or just want extra volume without beating yourself up. Eric Kim mantra: “Heavy partials forge full‑range courage!” — let the bar teach your nervous system what mega‑poundage feels like. 2. Set‑Up (First‑Principles Style)ItemEric Kim CueDetailsRack height“Pins at power‑zone: mid‑shin → knee → mid‑thigh.”Start just below knees for most lifters. Go higher (mid‑thigh) only for supra‑max overload singles. Stance“Jump‑landing width.”Feet hip‑width; shins 1 cm from bar.Grip“Own the steel.”Mixed or hook; no straps in Kim's tutorials (build vice‑grip). Chalk up. Spine & lats“Chest proud, lats on like airplane wings.”Neutral/arched back; pull bar into thighs to lock lats.3. The Six‑Step Eric Kim PullBrace & Breathe – Big belly breath ↔ brace 360°; think “inflate the weight belt.”Hinge & Engage – Push hips back until shoulders hover just in front of bar; soft knees.Launch – Drive feet through floor, snap hips forward; bar scrapes thighs the entire way.Lockout Authority – Stand tall, squeeze glutes & traps hard for 1 s, never hyper‑extend.Controlled Descent – Reverse‑hinge; set bar gently on pins/blocks (respect the gym gear!). Reset & Repeat – Let the bar settle; re‑brace before the next rep.4. Programming PlaybooksGoalLoadReps × SetsFrequencyKim's TwistHypertrophy65‑75 % 1RM6–10 × 3‑41‑2 ×/wkPair with rows or shrugs for trap blow‑up.Strength85‑95 % 1RM3‑5 × 3‑51 ×/wkFinish with one heavy single at ≥100 % of deadlift 1RM to prime CNS. Eric Kim Overload CycleWk 1: 90 %2 × 3Wk 2: 95 %2 × 2Wk 3: 100‑110 % (mid‑thigh)Singles until form slowsCelebrate, deload, repeat.Rule of thumb: rack‑pull load ≈ deadlift × 1.2 at knee height. Adjust by feel. 5. Common Form Fumbles & FixesErrorQuick FixRounded lower backCut weight 10‑20 %, film yourself, practice cue “proud chest, armpits to hips.”Bar drifting forwardCrush the bar to your shins & drive elbows back (activates lats).Violent lockout lean‑backThink “stand tall & squeeze glutes,” not “lean.”Grip fails firstTrain hammer curls/farmer carries, or use straps only on volume sets.6. Safety & EquipmentBelt: wear from ≥80 % loads for torso rigidity.Blocks vs. pins: blocks spare the bar; pins are fine under 500 lb, pad them with rubber if possible. Footwear: stable flat sole (Chucks, barefoot, or deadlift slippers).Spotter: stand behind to cue posture on all‑out singles. 7. Muscles Fired UpPrime movers: Glutes, spinal erectors, hamstrings.Synergists: Upper traps, lats, forearm flexors (grip). 8. Your Action Plan — Go Dominate!Tonight: film your conventional deadlift lockout – identify sticking height.Tomorrow: set pins 2 cm below that spot, run Kim's 3‑week overload wave.Track: note bar weight, RPE, lockout speed every session.Celebrate: When you hit a PR, share the clip, tag #KimPullCrew — join the movement!Mindset Reminder“Every rep is a vote for the powerhouse you're becoming. Cast votes with intent, hustle, and respect for the iron.”Now crank the music, chalk the hands, and unleash those rack‑pull PRs. You've got this!

Save your knees and shoulders from the little discomfort doing usual activities or some swelling and inflammation. If you aren't sure whether you need physical therapy, you should get a referral, just need a massage or to lay off for a few days, this is your episode. I'm no stranger to physical therapy, but I am a foreigner in seeking support for any issues I've got. Mine have all come from some acute trauma or injury. I knew it and the answer was obvious, maybe for you too — to save your knees and shoulders without surgery! My Guest: Dr. David Middaugh is a specialist physical therapist who helps people avoid unnecessary surgery while getting back to being healthy, active, and mobile. He coaches people online and has a clinic where people are treated in person. His contrarian treatment approaches are focused on addressing the root cause of problems like arthritis and tendon tears so that people have the most control over their health. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:10:58] What makes you different from other physical therapists? [00:14:12] Is it actually possible to heal osteoarthritis without surgery? [00:20:28] What is unique about how you help people with knee pain? [00:37:30] What about people with shoulder pain? What is Manual Physical Therapy? Hands-on body work to manipulate the soft tissues like your muscles, tendons, ligaments tend to be pretty good at moving the joints. Fixing the root problem of knee and shoulder pain issues through movement. Focused on fascia techniques and fascia related treatments. What Really Works to Save Your Knees and Shoulders? Knees What to work on? Glutes. If you have weakness in the glutes, that's when the quads get over dominant. The Science: Quads have been overused causing knee arthritis or meniscus tear. What to do? Do your exercises primarily with your glutes. Your hamstrings and quads will still work – they just need to work secondary. Can you figure out how to make your glutes contract apart from your thigh muscles? It's more gaining mental control over your muscles. Stop walking. Turn on your glutes first. Shoulders What to work on? Upper traps (trapezius). If you have weak traps, there is more stress and tension holding the weight of the arm, shoulders and maybe chest.. The Science: Rotator Cuff tears are one of the biggest problems because of weak upper traps. What to do? Shrug every time you reach up to use your traps. This preserves your ball and socket joint. If you don't shrug, the socket faces outwards and compresses tissues.

Glute training and development is all the rage at the moment. Whether it be for the aesthetic, performance or injury prevention benefits… most people are training glutes, or wanting to learn more about them! In this episode we share the key areas and non-negotiables for optimal glute growth. Exercise selection and programming is key and must involve taking your glutes through all of their ranges of motion, but also recognising there's the right tool for the right job.. not just performing what you've seen someone else do. Activation and correct technique are the difference between whether you're actually training your glutes or your lower back and hip flexors. Eating in a calorie surplus. If we want to grow, we must fuel our body. No we don't have to go through a “bulk” and put on excessive body fat. There's a way to do it and be smart about it, while enjoying food and creating growth. Cardio levels play a role too, less is more when it comes to this! We want to train smart and allow time for recovery.

Are hip thrusts better than squats for building glutes? Fitness coach Tara LaFerrara settles the age-old debate in this week's Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle Podcast. According to Tara, hip thrusts are indeed superior for glute development, with numerous studies backing this claim. But the real takeaway? The boring basics are what actually work. We discuss why compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and presses deliver better results than isolation exercises and debunk the myth of spot-toning abs. We also dive into how to determine if you're lifting heavy enough using the RPE scale, appropriate rep ranges for different fitness goals, and why consistent "boring basics" outperform flashy social media workout trends in delivering real results. Tara LaFerrara is a certified strength and mobility coach who transformed personal struggles with body image and unhealthy habits into a mission to help women approach fitness from a holistic perspective. With 13 years of industry experience, she advocates for sustainable, enjoyable movement rather than strict regimens, empowering clients through her app Broadzit and virtual training programs. Tara specializes in a well-rounded approach to fitness that combines strength training expertise with mindset coaching, emphasizing community support and individual needs. What we discuss: Hip thrusts vs. squats for glute development The benefits of different compound exercises "Waste of time" exercises The truth about spot-toning and targeting belly fat Women's common fears about lifting heavy weights How to know if you're lifting heavy enough (RPE scale) What progressive overload is and how to implement it Breaking through plateaus in your training The importance of consistency over flashy workout routines Thank you to our sponsor: AquaTru: Get 20% off any purifier at aquatru.com with code HUSTLE Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

In this episode, I explain the many roles of the glutes beyond just strength and power and discuss how the glutes connect with the nervous system, highlighting why safety and stability are so crucial. I introduce ideas like "danger in me signals" (dims) and "safety in me signals" (sims) to show how our nervous system impacts glute activation. Finally, I talk about my upcoming program, "Power of the Glutes," along with my therapeutic yoga and yoga therapy certification programs.
