It’s almost MLB Opening Day, which is just about my favorite “holiday” of the year. With that in mind, Mike Reinold and I decided to put our Functional Stability Training products on sale for 20% off. Using the coupon code MLBFST, you can pick up the individual components or get an even bigger discount on the entire bundle.

This sale runs through Monday at midnight; head to www.FunctionalStability.com to take advantage of it.

Good vs. Bad Stiffness – With FST on sale, I thought it would be a good time to “reincarnate” this webinar except from my presentation in the Optimizing Movement component. Relative stiffness is an important concept for all fitness and rehabilitation professionals to understand.

Cryotherapy Doesn’t Work – This was an excellent post from Dean Somerset on the topic of icing. It’s a great follow-up to the two-part series Tavis Bruce authored up for us last year, too, so be sure to check those out: Cryotherapy and Exercise Recovery: Part 1 and Part 2.

Work, Sleep, Family, Fitness, or Friends: Pick 3 – This was an interesting article at Inc.com on the topic of balancing life’s demands. It resonated with me because it was another good reminder that it’s our job as fitness professionals to make people realize they CAN still be fit even if they don’t have a ton of time. And, fitness might be a great avenue through which to spend time with family and friends, so it can “check a few boxes” in folks’ busy lives.

TRX flutters are a great drill that adds a rotary stability challenge to a predominantly anterior core drill. You can progress things by getting the arms further out in front, or by adding a full exhale at the end of each “reach.” #trx #trxtraining #cspfamily @trxtraining
