Listener question: I know consistency is important for strength, but I also like to work on new goals and do your different programs. How much novelty can I add to my routine, but still be building strength? In this episode Kathryn and Chris talk about the balance of sticking it out, clarifying your goals, and keeping things novel and fresh. They consider linear programming vs. periodization and why it can be ok to work on one goal for a few months before shifting to another. A few tips are to figure out what the foundation of your practice is, keep that consistent, but have fun with other classes/programs on other days.

If you have been taught that strength and mobility are opposites, this is a great podcast to listen to. Strength done properly doesn't limit you mobility. The two can go hand in hand, especially when you consider end range strengthening. Say goodbye to avoiding the end ranges or feeling weak and shaky in deep positions. Capacity can be built in any position, although a bit more challenging in the end ranges, it's a worthwhile endeavour if your goal is a healthy balance. Hypermobile? Feeling really stiff? This is something in this episode for you. To learn more about our weekly Mindful Strength classes click here!

Most of us think of recovery as something that happens after exercise is over. You have a good meal, get some sleep and voila! When it comes to weight training and building strength (think deadlifts, squats, pull ups, push-ups) resting in the middle of your sessions is absolutely necessary. Your anaerobic energy systems actually require minutes of rest to fully recuperate, which is really different from aerobic energy systems. In this podcast Kathryn and Chris will teach you about rest within the strength practice, and what happens if you don't prioritize this essential element.

231: Why You Really Need a Strength Program

Today Kathryn and Chris talk about why load is love, especially for those areas of the body where issues tend to arise (low back, knees etc...) After posting a deadlift video Kathryn received the question "doesn't that put a lot of load on your back?" to which she responded... YES, that's why I'm doing it. When it comes to safety we are only taught what to avoid, as opposed to what we can do in order to prepare. In this podcast we also talk about pain, and how to build discernment during intense movement.  To learn more about our upcoming strength program for Handstands and Pistol Squats, click here!

Today Kathryn talks you through the question of how much resistance to use for strength building. Strength training does not just mean doing things that feel hard, it's much more systematic and defined. Simultaneously, not all weighted exercises are strengthening.

Accessory exercises are supportive to your big goals. Want to be able to do a chin-up? Yes, practicing chin-ups are cool, but what's even more useful is assessing which supportive exercises you need more of and building them up. Accessory exercises build up your weaker muscles, ranges, or movements. Kathryn talks about how she started with 3 months of accessory training before graduating to full-body lifts like squats and deadlifts. This type of training transformed her injuries and pain and built her confidence for heavier lifting later to come. *** Want to learn more about strength and how to bring more strength and science to your classes?

Bone and muscle health can be nurtured at any age. Yes, aging, hormone changes, and natural physical shifts affect our muscles, bones, and connective tissues, but there are things we CAN do. In this podcast, Kathryn and Kyle talk about why it's important to do high(er) impact and strength training, and why progression is the key to safety. They discuss the highly alive and adaptive nature of bones and what bones respond to. Movement for healthy aging is not all about low impact and being careful, it's about challenging yourself and maintaining strength for as long as possible. *** Interested in training with us?

In this episode Kathryn and Kyle talk about a movement stimulus being hard vs. heavy, and what the key differences are. Often we believe that anything that feels challenging is making us stronger, but that is not the case. All movements are good, but they are not equal, especially if your goals are strength building, bone, muscle mass, athletics, aging benefits etc...

225 Kathryn & Kyle - Hard vs. Heavy: all movements are good, but they aren't equal.

Kathryn and Kyle talk about the mechanical model and give a few examples of mechanical ideas that negatively affect the ways we move and feel. Mechanical thinking teaches us that load is something that breaks us down, that safety is nurtured through avoidance, and that alignment is to be perfect.  We believe that safety is built through gradual and meaningful exposure and that resistance has the capacity to build us up (not just wear us down). Kathryn also explains why she rarely assesses alignment, and rather is more interested in capacity, especially with beginners. This podcast will give you major food for thought!
