ISSA Bodybuilding Specialist
When most individuals think about the sport of bodybuilding, images of big, dumb guys grunting and throwing weight around are often conjured up. This could not be further from the truth! Serious bodybuilders are part athlete, part scientist, and part artist. As a specialist in this area, I can provide training, recovery, motivational, and nutritional strategies to help you achieve maximal muscle growth and optimize physical appearance.
ISSA Certified Glute Specialist
Most people are what is considered sedentary—they sit most of the day and are likely not as active as they should be. This, unfortunately, also means that many have weak or inactive glutes. This can show up in many ways including pain in the knees, hips, or back; weak ankles; or tight hip flexors. Instead of simply living with these types of issues, Glute Specialists are helping people to reduce their pain and build stronger glute muscles.
Did you know the glutes are the largest muscle in the body? Specifically, the gluteus maximus. And they are a big muscle group for a reason! The glutes are activated in many movements and play a critical role in balance, stability, power, agility, and athletic endeavors.
Everyone can benefit from glute training regardless of the training goal: athletes, the general population, kids, and seniors. After all, balance, agility, and stability are helpful for everyone!
