- Before beginning the single arm suitcase carry, be sure to engage your core to stabilize your spine and maintain an upright posture. Keep your shoulders back and down, avoiding any leaning or excessive rotation to one side. Begin walking in a straight line, taking controlled steps while maintaining your posture. Focus on keeping the weight stable and your body aligned. If necessary, switch hands halfway through your set distance or time to ensure balanced muscle engagement.

- Finding a good way to care for the muscle tissue of the lower leg can be challenging, but it is possible. One of the reasons is because of the challenge in controlling the amount of pressure you place on the roller. Start by sitting on the floor and lift your hips off the floor enough to move your body. Use small movements. If you need to apply more pressure, cross the opposite leg over, but make sure to keep your feet relaxed.

NEW RELEASE! How exactly can exercise improve your health today while supporting better health and longevity for years to come?

Prescribing Movement as Medicine: The Professional’s Guide to Exercise for Health and Longevity by Kevin Carr explores the why and how behind creating exercise programs that help clients move better, build healthy habits, and maintain physical function as they age.

Carr is a strength and conditioning coach and manager at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning (MBSC), as well as a massage therapist and cofounder of Movement as Medicine, a massage and movement therapy clinic in Woburn, Massachusetts. He is also the creator of the Certified Functional Strength Coach certification.

Drawing on his experience in strength and conditioning, movement therapy, and exercise programming, Carr provides trainers and coaches with practical methods for developing realistic, sustainable, and adaptable programs, particularly for clients who are new to exercise or need support making physical activity a consistent part of their lives. Inside, readers will find mobility and flexibility drills, warm-ups, assessments, power and strength exercises, sample programs, and real-world case studies showing how these concepts can be applied to client programming.

The book also explores how everyday physical activity, mobility and flexibility, power training, strength training, and cardiovascular exercise can work together to support health and longevity. Prescribing Movement as Medicine gives fitness professionals the tools to create thoughtful exercise programs that go beyond short-term results and help clients build movement habits that can last a lifetime. A continuing education exam based on the book is also available, allowing professionals to earn continuing education credits/units.

NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Are we doing too much?

Are we doing too much? If you coach youth athletes you've probably heard them tell you, "You're doing too much." Likely with little or no context. In this episode, certified trainers Aaron Patterson and Frank Eyeson entertain that very question. Are we doing too much when it comes to our fitness? Listen along as Aaron and Frank dive into the topic to discuss how the fitness industry can sometimes feel overwhelming, but if we simplify areas that have become overly complex, we can get back to enjoying fitness and seeing real results.
