An adjustable bench that turns into a belt squat machine. Great way to add more variety to your training. This was one of my favorite pieces of equipment to test out. Huge quad pump, and the quality of the movement felt great.

did a great job with this one 🔥

Here’s a great multiplanar strength and mobility exercise for the lower body. The deficit curtsy lunge adds an increased stretch on the glutes, helps my to further increase strength and range of motion 🔥

Prevent knee injuries and build lower body strength with the Lateral Step Tap

Always a staple of mine. Whether you’ve worked with me in person on online, you know you’ve done this before and felt it in the quads and glutes 🔥

Hamstring Day Staples 💪🏻

If you’re not adding these you’re missing out on a lot of potential for new muscle growth and size.

It’s always great to hit your hamstrings through hinge patterns like the RDL, and a curl variation like hamstring curls to make sure you’re hitting all heads of the hamstrings 💪🏻

Save these and add them to your next lower or hamstring day 💪🏻

Embracing my roots 🇬🇹

One thing I’ve always appreciated in my life is my Guatemalan roots. From a young age, my parents and family made sure our culture was always present through the food we ate, the music in the house, the decorations on the walls, and the traditions we kept.

When I was younger, I probably showed it most through food (especially Ducal frijoles and tortillas 😅) I still remember my mom bringing them to my elementary school to share with my friends, and to this day, those fiends still bring that up

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown even more connected to my roots. The clothing, the colors, the music, the coffee, learning to cook traditional foods, and even spending two weeks in Guatemala in December 2024 where I was lucky enough to propose to my fiancé at Lake Atitlán 🫶🏻

I love how often Guatemala comes up in conversations, even with my physical therapy clients. So many people have visited, lived there, or fallen in love with the culture and those conversations always remind me how beautiful the country truly is

For me, embracing my culture isn’t just about food or travel. It’s also in the small things like what I wear, the Quetzal necklace I keep on me, and proudly carrying my Raíces Maya wherever I go.

There’s a lot of noise and negativity in the world right now, but this is just a reminder of something simple: culture is beautiful, people are human, and our roots are something to be proud of.

Below I’m tagging a few accounts that routinely post about the beautiful country of Guatemala 🇬🇹

Hamstring strain? Don’t just ice and rest all day!

Early movement and isometric exercises are KEY to recovery. They help reduce pain, maintain strength, and speed up your return to activity without overloading the healing tissue.

Here are 4 simple exercises you can try after a hamstring strain 👇
1️⃣ Standing Hamstring Curls
2️⃣ Long Length Isometric Hip Extension
3️⃣ Standing Band Hip Extension Isometric
4️⃣ Hamstring Curl Banded Isometric

Start slow, stay consistent, and let your hamstring know it’s safe to move again.
