What is SoloStrength?

It isn’t everyday that you come across something that can change the way you approach your life, especially when it comes to the deep seated habits we typically have when it comes to our health and fitness activity. However there is something I came across recently that amazed me with the simplicity in which it delivers such a broad range of benefits. This something, was called SoloStrength.


By now, most of us have heard about the shift in interest from weight or plate loaded resistance training, to more traditional and natural forms of movement and body weight based exercise. There are the standard tests of strength and base exercises in push ups, pull ups and rowing type movements, but there has also been a great deal of innovation and advancement in the tools we can use to expand the exercises. SoloStrength, offers all the standard body weight exercises on this simple to use system, but by sheer simplicity, makes it very easy to adapt the support it offers, to all levels of users and greatly increase the range of variety of exercises that can be done. They have a lot of demonstration videos on their website store, to help you understand how you can use their system for not only the strength training exercises, but cardio functional training and circuits and a range of stretching programs to keep your body flexible and release stress.

The SoloStrength is quite amazing not just for the simplicity and speed which you can navigate through your exercises, but the design lends itself for use as an anchor support for other popular body weight based exercise systems including Suspension training (such as TRX) and also adjustable points for different exercises with variable resistance bands and other accessories. This is one very fun and versatile system to play with. Not only is it efficient for exercising with, it’s a beautiful design piece which looks good in any environment, and if you have kids, they will entertain themselves for hours a day on it playing as a gym bar set. Now that’s a killer idea for home exercise all wrapped up in one tidy little system. Let me know what you think!

I’d suggest this for anyone looking to start or expand their home gym setup, or personal trainers looking to make excellent use of their training spaces and limiting their equipment requirements (these units are commercial quality).
It’s great to see the expanding options we have for safe and simple training methods that keep us all much more open to consistent and convenient training in our homes, and further supporting our family members on their journey’s of fitness and health. I’m looking forward to working with my system and will share more with you in coming months. You can check out more info on this system here.

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia (fye-bro-my-AL-gee-ah) is an arthritis-related condition that is characterized by generalized muscular pain and fatigue. The term “fibromyalgia” means pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. This condition is referred to as a “syndrome” because it’s a set of signs and symptoms that occur together. Fibromyalgia is especially confusing and often misunderstood condition. Because its symptoms are quite common and laboratory tests are generally normal, people with fibromyalgia were once told that their condition was “all in their head.” However, medical studies have proven that fibromyalgia does indeed exist, and it is estimated to affect about 2 percent of the U.S. population today.

While there is no specific diet for all fibromyalgia cases, different symptoms may suggest ways of improving your health through diet. As fibromyalgia sufferers often have one condition amplifying another (or several others), relieving even one can increase your quality of life, sometimes substantially. If your body overreacts to certain foods, it could worsen conditions ranging from digestive troubles (gas, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea) to fatigue, headache or migraine, joint pain, mood disorders, muscle aches, and skin problems. Beef, citrus, chicken, corn, dairy, eggs, gluten ( protein in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and kamut ), soy, sugar, tomatoes, wheat, yeast, etc., are common problems for individuals with food intolerance.

Roll Up

The Roll Up is a great exercise for strengthening the abdominal, oblique and hip flexor muscles. It has even been shown to be more effective than regular crunches.

It’s great for teaching upper body control and spine articulations in both the up and down phases. It can also provide a great stretch for the back, hamstring and calf muscles.

Proper execution requires rounding of the spine while also keeping the chin tucked. Controlled breathing is essential for a smoother, fluid motion.
