What's up, Achievers?! Words were hard in this one y'all - I'm going to blame it on the fumes from all the painting I did today at the gym ;) Anyways, in this episode we cover how to address rib flare/lower back arching - especially during core movements (2:21). We also talk about a blog that someone sent us about improving 1-3% every workout and what the pros/cons are to this approach (9:55). Lastly, we discuss how to dominate the sit-rise test, as well as how the media might have oversensationalized it a bit...(20:15). We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you'd like us to answer. Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! ...

What's up, Achievers?! In this episode we really delve into injuries and pain. Oftentimes, when we have an injury or setback it can feel really debilitating - not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Hopefully after listening to this episode (especially the last question), you'll have a better sense of how to go about managing your health and fitness and overall mindset next time you experience pain and/or injury. The important thing to always note is that your body is very resilient and can bounce back quickly. That mindset alone can really have a major impact on how quickly things can turn back around! In the first question, we talk about what to do when experiencing an imbalance while squatting (4:17). Next, we cover if foam rolling alone is enough to address knee pain (8:11) or any pain for that matter. Lastly, we talk about how we manage acute pain - the example in the question was someone experiencing shoulder pain after playing tennis without warming up (16:32). We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot!
