These double XBall push-ups are a pretty tough challenge on the stability of well.. just about the entire body!! ๐Ÿคฏ

Although this wasnโ€™t the cleanest looking set, the struggle was real which is really the fun part isnโ€™t it! When one of the balls starts to roll or get displaced it becomes very challenging to correct as your other anchors donโ€™t have a reliable base but you still somehow need to find a way to create leverage and push/pull hard against the flow to find your center and recreate an appropriate base of support.

Fight the natural momentum and get used to being comfortable in uncomfortable positions! ๐Ÿ’ช

Let me know if you can crush a full set of these puppies!

Whatโ€™s your element?! ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€œEmpty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water..โ€

- Bruce Lee ๐Ÿ‰

I always enjoyed these legendary words but it has taken a long time to somewhat feel like I understand the wisdom that lies within!

What does it mean to be like water.. to be formless and shapeless and so adaptable that it instantly takes the shape of any object it is in? ๐Ÿ’ฆ

To be able to stay calm and completely still, while also having the capacity to crash and roll with great forces ๐ŸŒŠ

The words of The Dragon might be seen as advice for other martial artists, but they have inspired me to be mindful of this โ€œwater-like adaptabilityโ€ when developing athletes and training programs.

Almost all sports and activities in life (such as playing tennis, swinging kettlebells, gardening, or even navigating around a grumpy customer or through a difficult situation) will require the constant flow in and out of tough positions as you are constantly in motion and adapting to the environment around you. This helps support the notion that developing movement efficiency and mental resiliency are essential elements for success! ๐Ÿ’ช

Long story shortโ€ฆ Be water, my friends. ๐Ÿ’ง

If you would like to learn how move with more fluidity and confidence, then send me a message and we will get you started on the โ€œWater Phase from FLIPโ€™s Elemental Training Programs!โ€

Have fun with food! ๐ŸŽ

Here are a few reasons why you should incorporate tactical type workouts into your training regime.

โœ… itโ€™s a fun change up from the traditional strength and conditioning workouts ๐Ÿ’ช

โœ… Tactical professionals need to be ready for anything so train yourself the same way!

โœ… These functional workouts will strengthen your grip, harden your body, and toughen up the mind ๐Ÿง 

โœ… Less technique is required to push/pull sleds and carry objects compared to classic lifts such as the squat or deadlift.

Just have to grip it and rip it!!๐Ÿ’ช

Quick little bit of everything snack plate โœ…

- Just checking the boxes here with 2 decent sources of protein between the almonds and cheese ๐Ÿง€

- All of the delicious field berries are rich sources of vitamins/minerals and fibre! ๐Ÿ“

- A little electrolyte blast from the pickle and some healthy fats with the olives! ๐Ÿซ’

- Optional crackers/bread and hummus if some extra carbs/cals are warranted! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

All relatively small contributions towards your daily targets but there is much better balance of nutrients here than some of these other more convenient options for snacks.

Try to avoid the โ€œCโ€ words such as chips, cookies, chocolate or candy! Maybe crackers should be on this list as well! Stick with the homemade bread instead! ๐Ÿž

Or if you are looking for a little more protein then could add a shake quick and easy. Or you could boil a couple of egg or better yet, bring 1/2 cup of quick refried beans to the party!
