Statistically, most injuries happen at the beginning or end of; a season, a game, a movement.

Treat this stage of sporting overlap wit grace and make sure to prioritize efficient warm-ups, rest and recovery. When we go to crazy with the reps too early in the year the body doesn’t have a chance to adapt to the extra movement. This is true even if you’ve been working out all summer. It’s still a new movement that needs to be introduced slowly.

Tips:
•Warmup well
•Focus the 1st few times on the ice on quality over quantity of reps
•Prioritize rest (sleep), nutrition and hydration (curling clubs are typically dry & we don’t see our sweat so it’s easy to dehydrate you)
•Don’t be afraid to lower the volume at the gym as you both adjust to curling again and finish up your summer activities.
•Listen to your body!

To make sure your well prepped The Kickstarter Program and In Season Guide are full of tips, resources (warmups & cool downs) and ideas to maximize your time on the ice

šŸ›Ÿ SAVE THIS šŸ›Ÿ

The goal of training during the curing season is NOT to get stronger & fitter 🤯

The goal is to MAINTAIN all that hard work you put in over the summer, and to maximize your time on the ice.

This means less workouts, shorter workouts, sneaking in exercises that improve your movement, help you feel READY & RECOVERED.

If you need help with this check out the In Season Guide (linked in bio) or send me a message so I can share a few resources for you.

Happy (almost) curling season šŸ‘Š

Who’s ready!?

Here’s the funny thing about making changes to our lifestyle and training. It’s HARD to go from the ā€œI think I should do thatā€, ā€œI know what I need to doā€ and the ā€œI’m doing itā€ stage. It’s hard. Don’t discredit the power of momentum and inertia and always celebrate every tiny step toward your goal!

If you’re needing a kick in the pants to go do the workouts you’ve saved or hit ā€œpurchaseā€ on one of my program (might I suggest the Kickstarter?) then consider this the kick in the pants! 🫶

You know that feeling when your first game of the season is coming up and you suddenly realize…

ā€œI haven’t actually prepared for curling.ā€ 😬

Maybe you had a busy summer. Maybe training fell off. Maybe you just weren’t sure what to do.

Whatever the reason, you don’t need to panic or try to cram months of training into the next few weeks.

That’s exactly why I created the Curling Kickstarter.

It’s a simple 6-week on-ramp to help you rebuild your strength, conditioning, movement and tolerance for curling before you jump straight back into regular games.

•4 workouts/week.
•20–30 minutes.
•Minimal equipment.
Designed specifically for curlers (by a curler).

Start where you are. Build from there.

If your first game is coming up and you’re thinking, ā€œOh no, I need to do somethingā€¦ā€

✨This is your something!!!! ✨

Check out the Curling Kickstarter through the link in my bio. Or DM me ā€œkickstarterā€ and I’ll share the deets & answer all your questions 🫶

In my perfect world no curler would feel pain during the curling season. We’d all have the necessary fitness to play as often as we’d like and have fun doing it!

That’s why I put together programs for ALL curlers; the fresh, the experienced, the ones who train all summer & the ones who think ā€œI should prep for curlingā€ only a month out.

If you’re in the ā€œcurling is only a couple weeks away and I am not preparedā€ crew … I’ve got you! Check out the Kickstarter linked in my bio or SEND ME A DM and I’ll hook you up šŸ‘Š

Enjoy your long weekend!



Who feels READY to curl soon?

Another year, another week!

With strategic exercise selection & graded progression you can increase not only strength and fitness but the number of movement options you had.

It’s taken years for me to figure out how to set my knee, hip & back up for success (previous recurring injuries). But it’s given me so many resources to help others do the same in waaaaay less time.

The Fundamentals program was designed to get you started with movement efficiency.

Then from there there are 10+ program options available designed specifically to help prepare you for the unique demands of curling AND prevent injuries.

And my current fave is a custom program that allows me to tailor the exercise subscription to you & your body.
