Rounded upper back? Tech neck? We see you. 👀
Face down, arms by your sides, palms up. Squeeze those shoulder blades together, then spread them apart. Add tiny palm presses toward the ceiling and feel your upper back finally wake up and stand tall.
We tried it with a few different bands so you can pick your level. Small moves, big posture payoff. 💪
Save this for your next desk break and tag the friend who sits like a question mark. 😉

Confession: the first time Pasha did this stretch on me, I dropped an F-bomb. 🤬 Hamstring went places it had NEVER been. So this time we hit record, and I kept my mouth clean. My face, though? Not so much. 😅 New stretch, big results. 🦵

No partner? Stay tuned for my rigged self-stretch with a strap, the wall, and the ballet bar! 👀

Two races. Three weeks apart. Two trophies. 🏆

That’s a wrap on paddle races for 2026. Three races in my boat class over the past six months, three wins.

I’m proud… and whooped. Definitely time for some recovery.

So, who else needs to start collecting some body wins? Getting stronger, moving better, having more energy, or simply knowing when it’s time to rest

If you’re going to add collagen to your routine, don’t just grab the prettiest tub on the shelf because collagen is having a moment. 😂

Look for a reputable, science-based product with ingredients that actually have research behind them.

This is one I carry through my practitioner Fullscript dispensary: Metagenics StayStrong+ 4-in-1 Collagen Chews. It combines four different collagen ingredients, including UC-II®, Fortigel®, Tendoforte® and Verisol®, along with vitamin C. The goal is to support joints, connective tissue, skin and nails in one convenient chew.

And yes, I chose to bring this to your attention because of what’s inside, not because the package looked cute.

If you’re going to supplement, let’s at least make the supplement earn its spot in your routine.

Try this one.

Figure four stretch, foot on the wall. Cross one ankle over the opposite knee, then instead of just holding it, gently rock back and forth. That moves your pelvis through internal and external rotation, so your hips get mobility, not just a stretch.

Add it to your cool down after strength training. It’s especially good if you sit all day, drive a lot, or swing a golf club.

Give it 30–60 seconds each side and let us know how it felt 👇

Hike more. Hurt less. Live fully. 🌲

We chipped in for lumber to help rebuild the music venue at Paris Mountain State Park, and the person who sold us our new stepper/elliptical spotted our plaque on a hike and sent this pic! Small world. Big heart. 💛

Wobbly on one leg? Your glute med called — it's tired of doing nothing.

Grab a band. Hook it low on a bench (gym) or sturdy furniture (home). Loop the other end around your ankle.

Now balance. Arms overhead if you're feeling brave, thumbs on shoulders if you're not.

30-50 reps. Pelvis tucked — no b***y poking out. Mirror check optional, ego check mandatory. 💪
