This is the exercise that you need to do if you want to get some assisting work in but don't have much time. You can not only cram in work for your forearms, biceps, and shoulders in a short amount of time, but it's also an extremely demanding lift that will get your heart rate up and make you feel like you got quite a bit of work done without spending all day at the gym.

This exercise will help to reduce the risk of a rotator cuff injury in overhead athletes and will help build mobility and strength through a full range of motion in the shoulder. The rotation of the trunk helps to add in more lower trap activation while still training the muscles of the rotator cuff and working through full external rotation. Try this as part of a shoulder injury prevention program for throwers or anyone else who needs to have a strong, stabile, and mobile shoulder!

The single leg squat is one of the most effective ways to increase leg strength, without adding load to the spine. This makes it a very safe and effective way to build up strength and power in the quads and glutes while keeping injury risks at a minimum. Try this variation, which allows for natural assistance, to ensure that you're getting proper depth on your single leg squats.

This golf specific warmup will help you to get ready for a round on the course or a range session. We work on specific movements to warm up the shoulders and hips, as well as improving balance and stretching to improve trunk rotation.

Rotational power and disassociation of the hips and shoulders are required in almost all sports, especially golf, hockey, and throwing sports like baseball. Slideboard abs build rotational core strength and help work on disassociation of the hips and shoulders in a controlled manner. While many trainers will have clients that can't do this exercise, if they can it's well worth putting them through it!

Stability ball deadbugs focus on anti-extension of the core. This may be the best exercise out there for personal training clients who are looking to improve their abdominal strength but suffer from back problems. This is a great exercise for our golf fitness clients who want to build their core strength for the golf season.

Can't do pull-ups? Try inverted rows! Our training staff uses different variations of this exercise to work on strength in the postural muscles of the back. We also use it as a lighter intensity option for those personal training clients who can't do full pull-ups, yet.

A favorite exercise of our personal trainers, this version of the hip extension provides us with the ability to train each glute individually and simultaneously provides a hip flexor stretch.

The rotational box jump work on vertical and rotational power output at the same time. An incredible exercise for golfers who want to improve their swing speed! For higher level personal training clients who master this we can start to make the exercise more difficult by increasing the amount of rotation to 180 or 270 degrees. If we're working with someone who isn't comfortable doing box jumps we can also perform this exercise as a broad jump so that the client can stay at ground level.

Lateral band walks are one of the most common exercises used with our personal training clients to work on hip stability. Check out this video on the different variations that our trainers use and how to perform the exercise properly.
