Welcome to the KMM Online Fit Team!!

June 20
If I have learned anything over the last 17 years of training women to run, walk, triathlon and stay active through their lives it is this...Doing the support things keeps you moving for longer.

Longer as in able to do the longer walks, events or runs AND longer in terms of continuing to be able to move through the years. Foam rolling, cross training, stretching dynamically before a run, eating well throughout the week and anything else that you do intentionally to support your efforts.

If you are not doing all of these regularly now, pick one and start incorporating that. Over the next few weeks I will continue to feature and educate on these back up efforts in all ways possible. In this weekly update, in the Online Fit Team, on Facebook and Instagram with posts and with additional clinics to provide resources you can use.
In addition to looking for these, complete the "foam roller" how to video below this week. Have questions?? Please ask!

You'll also find the pilates 4 workout that includes a resistance band to be lots of FUN!

7:30pm Thursday Yoga

Equipment (above) used in workouts:
  • Foam rolling can keep you moving. The blue roller is a great place to start, the blue ball that's next is an excellent add on.
  • Door anchor turns your door into a workout partner for resistance.
  • The bands create long lean muscles. New/returning to strength workouts? Order a yellow light resistance band to start, been working out for awhile? Order a red medium resistance band. If you have used the red and are up for more resistance on some exercises? Order a blue resistance band.
  • The mat recommended is one of my personal favorites, thick enough for comfort, not too thick for balance.
  • The big ball was used for the "have a ball ya'll" challenge, is featured in several now and is the most affordable, durable ball I've found.
(Yes, I do receive a small kick back from Amazon when you order using these links, at no additional cost to you. Thank you!)
