Black August starts soon. Usually I have others to participate with me, but since I don’t, I’m calling on those of you out there to get together in your cohorts, do 100 of something everyday with me for the month of August, and tell me how its going for you. Burpees, push-ups, sit-ups, a mile run/walk, 100 of some exercise for 31 days with me, that’d be rad! The key is unity, solidarity, so try to do them at least with one other person. You can split things up and make 100 squats into 50, plus its more fun together, and that’s what its about, what we can do together!

Love, rage, and solidarity

😵‍💫Ever Felt Dizzy Standing Up? Let’s Talk Orthostatic Tolerance!

🚨Orthostatic tolerance = the body’s ability to handle posture changes without dizziness or fatigue. Vital for older adults. Essential for independence.

💪🏾Watch my 65+ online client do Pushups → Landmine Pivot & Press. What looks like a simple combo is much more.

✅Training smart is training with purpose.

⏳Unearthed from the 2021 Fitness Foundry vault: the landmine split jerk.💥

🎯 A powerful, non-traditional move to build unilateral explosiveness—great for addressing muscle imbalance, control, and stability. I was 47 when I filmed this, and it’s still a staple in my programming today.💪🏾
