Our spotlight for the week - SPINE!

What you need to know and tips on taking care of your precious body foundation.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Ballistic exercises closely mimic sports such as football, golf, tennis, etc. Ballistic training, when done properly, produce greater force, power and motor-unit recruitment which translates to better athleticism and sports performance.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

There are specific criteria that I look for when I choose exercise equipment for my outdoor sessions. They have to be durable, effective, and portable.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Bodyweight exercises are one of my go-to's when creating a routine. Why? Because bodyweight exercises:

Builds strength
Builds endurance
Builds balance and mobility

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

You know what they say about protein; it helps to build muscle. However, physical activity is the main reason for muscle growth.

Whatever we consume and don't burn becomes fat. With the proper TRANSFORMation regimen, we'll make sure to burn all those calories.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Yes, age is just a limitation that we put on our minds which will hinder our TRANSFORMation into better versions of ourselves.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

If there is one thing I love nibbling on, it's Tuna Salad Lettuce wraps, especially during spring. They're healthy, low calorie and high in protein. You can also use these as an after workout snack to help your muscles repair.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

If you think that is an excellent reason to start or continue your TRANSFORMation journey outdoors, here are more benefits that you will also love

Lowers blood pressure
It reduces stress levels
Helps with insomnia
It provides mental relief

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

You've noticed that it's a bit warm today and probably thought you'd burn more calories if you worked out. It just makes sense because we would sweat more. So, is this myth true? Yes! Our bodies are smart and can quickly acclimatize to new environments.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Isolation exercises are doing exercises that target one muscle or group of muscles one joint at a time. One such exercise is bicep curls that target the muscles at the front of your arms called biceps brachii

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Each of these workouts is a compound exercise. A compound exercise means that you will engage multiple muscles groups.

Remember, proper form is paramount when you are doing your TRANSFORMation regimen. You must always be mindful when lifting weights.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

We already have exercises that target our back muscles; why do we have to add more for our upper back?

Poor posture later in life may lead to falls; it will also tend to compress the vertebrae of our spine, which is one of the causes of numbness in our limbs.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Dumbbell rows will help you strengthen your upper back, lats, lower back and core.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Now, why do we need protein? As you may already know, protein is essential for weight loss and a better-looking body. But of course, we need to burn those calories or any excess calories not burned in the day just turns into fat.

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

Yes! We can change the way we age. We just need to start making minor changes to our day to day activities. One such change is beginning or continuing your TRANSFORMation regimen.

What exactly is a deadlift? Basically, a deadlift is lifting a weight off the floor. Sounds simple enough, right? But the muscles worked by this simple move trains them to lift objects safely from the ground

[Robert G Callow @TRANSFORMPTHove]

We now go into one of my favourite exercises, squats. This exercise is essential for your TRANSFORMation regimen because it uses almost all your lower body muscles, especially your glutes and quadriceps. Squats also make use of your core muscles.
