The same things that made you feel alive when you were five are what you need now to pull yourself out of your funk.

Go back to those things
Your nervous system will remember.

Hit the beach instead of the gym? Good. Sunshine, sand, & a sea breeze is good for the soul. Now hit the gym. Consistency is key.

Happy 4th! As many rounds as possible. Remember to warm up, cool down, & modify when needed!

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

Happy Birthday to the best assistant coach ever!

Unknown, but most likely a GenXer.
Success isn't easy & doesn't happen overnight. Consistency is key. Just keep showing up & doing the work.

The way you can guarantee that good things won’t happen is by worrying that bad things will.

Best way to start the day. Sunrise & a strength workout.

This is why sympathetic dominance kills you slowly. Slow flow. And why Vagus Nerve work is so important. Make the pipes bigger when you relax.

Slow flow slow healing. No flow no healing.

[Perry Nickelston @stopchasingpain]

But the human body is not a linear system. Meaning small inputs can have big outputs and vice versa

The same injury in two different people produces different outcomes

The same treatment protocol works brilliantly for one person and fails another

A smallunresolved stress (emotional, mechanical, chemical) can cascade into massive systemic dysfunction over time

Recovery can stall inexplicably or accelerate suddenly from seemingly minor interventions

Bars, Bands, & Boxes!
AMRAP (20-30 minutes) Remember to warm-up, cool down, & modify when needed. Any movement is good movement

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

Still time to celebrate!

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

Feelin' "pretty, pretty good" during this morning's workout. A few healthy meals, rest, & hydration did the trick! #Imbackbaby

Flex Friday! Senior boot camp.
Warm-up, strength & mobility, followed by a fun partner's finisher exercise!

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

Frustrated with taxes? Burn off that energy with this "1040 EZ" workout. Remember to warm-up, cool down, & modify when needed.

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

The view on my walk this a.m. Doesn't get much better than this...

[Alexis RougasErmilio @CoachAlexisMA]

"Oh, Mami, Mami!"
Felt great this a.m. & hit a PR on the trap bar! Great way to start the weekend.

I ❤️ trap bar deadlifts.
What's your favorite way to deadlift?

dumbbells?
barbell?
Romanian?
Single-Leg?

Happy 5 yr. "Hipiversary!" Still going strong!
