The Dumbbell Front Squat with Purpose⚡️
My online rockstar client demonstrates utilizing front-racked dumbbells for a 3-second isometric hold to build raw strength and core stability. Keeping the elbows high ensures perfect upper-body posture and mimics the demands of a barbell squat clean.🏋🏽♂️
The secret to the hold? Complete breath control and bracing under tension. ⏸️💪🏾

Exercise may relieve depression as effectively as antidepressants.
@NewScientist reports: "A comprehensive review confirms the benefits of exercise for treating depression, even if the exact reasons remain unclear."

Train Biceps Smarter, Not Just Harder 💪🏾
In this 2-minute video, I break down one of the most overlooked training tools: tempo.⏰
🗣️I demonstrate a simple biceps curl combo using a resistance tube—but you can use cans, bottles, dumbbells or a ball. Seated or standing. No gym required.
✅ Accessible, joint-friendly, and effective
🎯It’s not just about reps or weight—it’s about how you move. Let’s train with purpose.

New is playing with a unicycle for warmup. I haven't really been on one in years. (Did get on one briefly when they were unpacked the other day though. Also attempted to climb up on the giraffe uni that day, that was an adventure!)
A lot of what I'm doing is still getting myself up to speed, recovering from overusing a shoulder while in recovery from surgery. Tonight's focus is that recovery work, and hand balance.
🍑 Stronger Glutes. Booty Training!

🎯In this video, I break down proper form for Bilateral and Single-Leg Hip Thrusts—essential for building glute strength and hip stability.

💪🏾 Fit Tip from the Fitness Court in Malden, MA
⏰As we age, favoring one side can lead to instability, joint strain, and even increase fall risk. That’s why unilateral exercise is a game-changer!
👟Watch as I show you a few variations (assisted and unassisted) you can do for home or the gym!
🎯 Train smart. Move better. Age strong.
