Neck, Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Mobility in under 4 minutes

Here is a great series of mobility drills that will prepare your body for exercise and help get the kinks out. And it takes less than4minutes to do!

All of these can be done every day and do not require any equipment. The complete mobility drill series takes less than 10 minutes and can provide immediate benefit.

Give it a go and let me know if you have any questions!

I must give credit to Flexible Steel for these exercises. We recently hosted an Instructor Certification at our gym (Axistance Athletics - here in Denver, CO) where my friend and colleague Matthew Flaherty taught the course. This is just a sample of the drills from that certification. They are super helpful and really work!

New Gym! Moving Our Training Over to Axistence Athletics

We have a new home for our training! I am super stoked to announce that Colorado Personal Fitness is now working with the great coaches of Axistence Athletics!

The name of the gym and the faces may seem familiar. That is because the coaches - Ryan, Garrett, and Dan - have been in the Mountain Fitness School training videos (heck, they are shot at Axistence Athletics!) and have been in most of the continuing education certifications I have attended the last 5 years. In fact, Axistence has been the host to all of the recent StrongFirst courses - kettlebell, barbell, and advanced kettlebell.

I did a test run of training with a handful of current clients before making the announcement. The feedback from each of the clients was overwhelmingly positive! You will see why when you come it :)

Here is a video of the gym:
