You’ve probably heard “no knees over toes!”

But did you know that started as a simple cue for beginners learning to squat with a barbell—not a universal law of movement.

Now, the fitness world is split:
✅ Some coaches say it’s dangerous.
✅ Others call it essential for strength and knee resilience.

So, should your knees go over your toes? Read our new blog post to learn more!

The "knees over toes" debate is everywhere in fitness. Is it a dangerous movement to avoid or a fundamental pattern to reclaim? We're here to break it down

Got rotator cuff pain? Prone rows can help 💪 But the best thing for pain?…. Talking to a physiotherapist! Get a mobility screening with one of ours at the link in our bio 😎

The Prone Row eliminates all momentum, forcing your mid-back and rear delts to do the work. The focus on driving your elbow toward your hip lights up your lats (a key shoulder stabilizer.)

👉 Pro Tip: The magic happens on the way down! A 3-4 second eccentric (lowering) phase builds insane strength and control.

Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps, focusing on that slow, controlled descent.

Say goodbye to shaky, inefficient rows! ✌️

Waking up with stiff fingers after a long scroll or typing session? You’re not imagining it. Those “sticky spots” in your muscles and fascia can slow you down.

At Renew Wellness, we use Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to smooth out the knots and restore flow (kind of like combing out a tangled knot in your hair, but for your hands. 🙌 )

The result:
✅ Smoother movement in the morning
✅ Less stiffness
✅ Better range of motion for wrists and fingers

Your hands do so much, so give them the relief they deserve!
