Beat the Trainer Challenge: Full Body Madness
We’re upping the ante with this month’s workout, so we hope you’re ready to step up (and row, dip, and mountain climb)! Start with cardio, perform 3-5 rounds of these four basic gym moves on the versatile Freemotion Step machine, and finish off with another round of cardio for a full-body workout that will hit every major muscle group. Care to raise the stakes? Challenge yourself, your buddy, or, if you’re feeling bold, try to beat a ClubSport personal trainer by seeing how quickly you can complete our strength-building block. Remember, however, that proper form is more important than speed, so make sure you can perform each movement soundly before attempting the challenge in order to avoid injury. Complete the workout, take the challenge, or do both!

6 Foam Roller Moves Your Body Is Craving
Self Myofascial Release (SMR) or foam rolling is a technique that focuses on improving the neuromuscular and fascial systems in the body that can be compromised by poor posture, repetitive motions, or dysfunctional movements, thus creating muscle spasms that ultimately lead to adhesions (more commonly known as knots). These adhesions reduce the elasticity of the muscles and lead to altered muscular control and muscle imbalance. SMR focuses on alleviating these adhesions to restore optimal muscle length and function.
