Happy Wednesday everyone! As you all may know, today is an important day because, its #ClientoftheWeekWednesday!

This week, we are excited to spotlight dedicated client Julie King. She has been a client of ANM Strength @anm_strength for over a year now. Julie is always open to try out new exercises and has put her mind to learning how to deadlift and squat with proper form. She has even committed to incorporating pull ups into her workouts over the past year, not an easy feat! #iykyk

Julie's super energy and positive attitude are an awesome addition to the ANM Strength semi-private groups, and an all around positive piece of the community at PEX Health and Fitness. Way to go, Julie!

Some important points to consider:

• The set-up! Make it specific to your body and your levers. We find that the “two-step” rule helps most people set up specifically and consistently.

• Variation really does make a difference! Think “hardware” (biomechanics) versus “software” (nervous system). The more software programs you download to your hardware, the more advanced your machine becomes. (See all Terminator movies for further explanation.)

• Weight distribution is important. The 80/20 rule applies here: 80% of the weight on your front foot, 20% on your back foot. If your knees go out a little over your toes, you won’t die. Figure out what’s comfortable for you and your body.

This is cool, but we know what you’re thinking: the words “favorite” and “split squat” don’t really belong in the same sentence. But we promise you’ll love them if you mix them up! Or at least if you do a different one every time you’ll forget how much you hate them. Either way, let us know how it goes!

Ellie is a longtime client of @alexbadlissi , owner of Forged Fitness and Boxing. She has dedicated herself over the years to reaching her fitness goals. Her persistence to show up and put 100% in to her routine has never waivered.

Ellie is always willing to make adjustments to her form, and her boxing technique improves with every session. For all these reasons, we feel that Ellie is the perfect candidate for PEX Health and Fitness #ClientoftheWeek! Keep crushing it Ellie, you make us proud!

Not to worry, this video is a time lapse. We do not force our clients to exercise in hyper speed. Although it would be entertaining if they did.

The Ab Wheel Rollout is, without a doubt, one of our favorite exercises utilized at PEX. (It’s also one of the hardest, to perform correctly.)

Tricky from a mechanical, and neurological patterning perspective, the rollout is one of the only Core exercises that effectively targets the rectus abdominus (the “six-pack” muscles) with an eccentric load and adequate time under tension for strength and hypertrophy gains.

Say what? This exercise will make your abs strong AND jacked. It also zips up your entire anterior chain from your knees to your hands and can sync up the whole front side of your body. The Rollout is the epitome of one of the best quotes of all time:

“Proximal stability predicts distal athleticism.” In other words, if you’re abs and glutes are strong, your legs and arms can perform at optimal intensity with a lower risk of injury.

BUT, it’s an easy exercise to mess up. You have to lead with the hips, with your torso flexed, and your glutes engaged. Otherwise, you’ll feel this in your lower back (and not in a good way).

Here are two basic and two advanced progressions. Give them a try and let us know what you think (or how your abs feel the next day)! ➡️➡️➡️
