Fitness Fix-its

1 - 10 Minute Daily stack

For my mother.

And your mother.

And their peers…

It is almost impossible to get the Baby Boomers in my life to exercise, mainly because life in the analog world was already difficult and living was as much work as the actual 9-5 they did for decades. So they just won't. But I've put together a few 10-min videos that will give them a chance to at least stand up okay and perhaps fix alignment things so that as they continue to run around with no interest in body consciousness, they'll at least be stacked appropriately.

2 - AB EXERCISE - BREAKDOWN / “HOW TO”

This is Video #1, which teaches you the how and the mechanics. You may only need to watch this one once.

3 - AB Exercise - Actual Workout

This is the actual exercise, with music! Armed with the information from the first video you can just follow along with this one.

Building on the previous exercises, this series uses the same format and principles with a more rigorous combo. Note: You must see the breakdown (first video) before this makes sense.

Katie Hightower (Las Vegas)

Aside from fixing a large percentage of the Cirque du Soleil performers in Vegas together, she triaged most of us on Cher. She is a chiropractor and LMT who continues to train as a practitioner herself so that her techniques are CURRENT. I have driven 3.5 hours on multiple occasions to Vegas from the West Coast to have her fix me. And the fixes last. Katie Hightower - Chiropractor – Performance Health Center (phcvegas.com)

Dr. Jason Piken (NYC)

There are chiropractors who snap and crack everything back into place, and then there are applied kinesiologists with the same training who test the body to find out what is creating the wackiness, fixing the main problem, then putting your skeleton in some kind of alignment that makes sense. This is what Jason does - the latter. He’s about holistic wellness too, and has pathways to it. Innate Wellness

Kyle Leland (Brooklyn)

He had an entire dance career before his journey into personalized orthopedic massage therapy. Having snagged a yoga certification as well, he brings a comprehensive approach to the body as a part of his practice as. Kyle Bernbach - Return Therapy

Laura Lisa Hardy (Fort Worth)

Here is another talented artist with dance companies like Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble and Dallas Black Dance Theatre on her resume. She was a healer even as a dancer, so all of this current work she does - deep tissue, sports massage and energy work (reiki) among others - is on brand. Laura Lisa - Enduralab

Marrquise Hitchcock (New York)

Seldom do you run into a body practitioner who not only trains artist and civilians, but also still performs on Broadway. This one is extraordinary as a result, in his body in a phenomenal way and able to effectively translate concepts - at times to engage, at others to relax completely - to yours. He has an entire comprehensive program for fitness that he customizes to you based on what you’re doing physically/professionally at the time. Home | TFC TRaining
