The Non “Gnarly” Workout You Need!

The Non “Gnarly” Workout You Need!

You don’t have to push yourself to the point of complete destruction every workout…Sometimes less is more…

That is why today I wanted to share an important workout with you…A workout that will help you get more out of your program and the intense workouts you do on the other days. A workout that will leave you feeling good and full of energy at the end.

This workout won’t destroy you in the least. It will simply get the correct muscles working. And you can’t skip it if you want real results. You can’t skip it just because it doesn’t leave you feeling destroyed.

This is the non gnarly workout you need to really get results from your complete program!

And you shouldn’t do MORE just because it didn’t kill you!

Sometimes these simple moves, the workouts that focus on creating a strong foundation, are what you’re missing…and the reason you aren’t getting the results you deserve even while working out intense and eating well!

Isometric Moves To Alleviate Desk Job Aches And Pains

Isometric Moves To Alleviate Desk Job Aches And Pains

Because we sit hunched over a computer for like 9 hours a day, muscles get tight that shouldn’t be tight. These tight muscles cause other muscles that should be active to not function correctly, which leads to compensation and injury.

These tight muscles from sitting all day at a desk must be rolled out and stretched so that they aren’t being overworked.

For some great stretches to alleviate those tight muscles from sitting all day, check out these 10 Essential Stretches For Anyone With A Desk Job.

But getting rid of those desk job aches and pains takes more than simply rolling out and stretching.

You also need to get the correct muscles activated and working.

One of the best ways to do this is with isometric exercises.

Isometric moves can do double duty – they can stretch out tight muscles while allowing you to activate the muscles that should be working but aren’t.
