Movement is the epicenter of our work.  Approximately 80% of American adults and teens do not meet the recommended weekly guidelines of at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and two days of muscle-strengthening exercises per week (according to the CDC). Only 24% of adults meet these guidelines. The result? Increases in mortality and huge increases healthcare costs ($117 billion annually). Any kind of movement counts towards physical activity, but the trifecta is aerobic, strength, and mobility. Ideally you're getting at least 20-30 minutes of aerobic activity daily and two days of strength training; that's about 5 days [...]

Talk To Me About Mobility

Talk to Me About Mobility As we age, most people know we lose muscle, but what often goes unnoticed is how quickly mobility declines, too. While muscle mass typically decreases by about 3–8% per decade after age 30, research shows that key mobility measures like gait speed and joint range of motion can drop even faster, especially after our mid-60s. That loss of fluid, confident movement is what makes everyday tasks, getting up from the floor, stepping off a curb, twisting to grab something from the backseat, feel harder than they used to. It’s also one of the biggest contributors [...]

The Studio Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) Library

We'll be exploring spine mobility and strength in Kinstretch and weaving spine-focused movements into our yoga classes. Got a back that's out of whack? Check out these spine-specific exercises your can do at home and join us for Kin every Wednesday at 9am. Your body will thank you!   SPINE Mobility Jefferson Curls FRC: Hips [...]

Female Specific Exercise Recommendations

Female-Specific Exercise Recommendations For a long time, fitness recommendations have looked the same across genders. Most of the research that has been done in the past was on male bodies - women were perceived just to be small men - just scale the recommendations for size and plug and play. Thankfully the landscape is changing, women specific hormone profiles are being studied and it turns out our needs, strengths, weaknesses and recommendations are much different from men. Shocking, we know!  We know more now, including that women can optimize their training based on their menstrual cycle. This information is enlightening [...]

Movement and Your Mental Health

MOVEMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH Movement and exercise can have significant impacts on mental health including reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, improving mood, and enhancing cognitive function. Physical activity on the regular can release endorphins, boost self-esteem and provide a health coping mechanism for stress. At the Studio, we’ve also found that working out in a supportive, fun community of people with the common goal of being healthy for a lifetime goes a long way too. Other ways to improve your mental health AND boost your fitness outcomes*: Light & Dark Exposure– Morning sunlight (low solar angle) or artificial light [...]

Pride Month, Juneteenth, Community and Father's Day! June is PRIDE Month, a dedication and celebration of LGBTQIA+ rights and progress. It commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of June 1969 when LGBTQIA+ protesters stood up against police brutality and injustice. Stonewall is considered an important breaking point in a culmination of years of LGBTQIA+ activism. The first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago on the one year anniversary of the riots. Today, Pride is celebrated in so many communities around the world that some places celebrate outside of June, so LGBTQIA+ people and their allies [...]
