Want to get your family active? Check out this article I wrote for STACK with some tips on training with your family! I love seeing our members train with their children, with our virtual and in-person sessions!   ==>

These tips can help you continue to train without the worry of further injury. But, before jumping in make sure you’re not in major pain because the “no pain no gain” mentality is not cool. I am referring to minor injuries. 

Start slow - You can easily hurt yourself again if you return from a layoff and go right into a hard session! We take the time to ask questions, learn your background, and find the right program for YOU! Some people do better with our 1 on 1 or semi-private sessions vs. our group. We have different levels and modifications in all of our groups. 

Technique is everything - If you’re not doing the exercise right, you won’t benefit from it. And even worse, you could be aggravating a current or old injury. 

In some cases, the same exercise will look different from person to person. This is where the eye of an expert can help you benefit. An expert, not just someone training with you that has no understanding of YOUR injuries, fitness level, and goals. 🙂 

Focus on what you can do - You might have a knee issue but can still do low impact variations. You might have a shoulder issue, but you can still do rows or landmine presses instead of overhead pressing. There are a million ways to get cardio in without running.
