Plus: 5 Exercises to Make Women Stronger

[Go Ahead, Jump: Functional Agility Training](
Even if youâve never been an athlete, the human body is made to move athletically. We are made to apply movements in reaction to external stimuli and across all three planes. While there is wisdom in respecting your limits and living to train another day, this line of thinking can slip into excessive avoidance that invites decay.
Furthermore, for the many who train and consider themselves in great shape, it is shocking to see how insufficient training modalities are when divorced from the dynamic, chaotic, and reactive nature of sport.
For most of human history, these violent movements were an essential part of daily life, ensuring the ability to avoid danger and stalk prey. Perhaps that isnât your reality, but wouldnât it be nice to stay capable longer? Furthermore, wouldnât it be fun to spice up your workout routine?

[5 Exercises to Make Women Stronger](
I always cringe when I hear the catch-phrase âstrong is the new sexy.â
That doesnât mean I donât think strong is sexy. I just believe we should keep the two separate. Sexy is sexy. Strong is strong.
But more importantly, strong is useful. Strong is practical. Strong is functional. As a 35-year-old woman, being strong is what will help me defend myself physically if need be. And thatâs probably more important to me than my strength being viewed as sexy.
[Shoulder Work: Self-Assessment and Development](
The shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion than any other joint. It can twist and turn in more ways than it should and it's probably one that you have a love-hate relationship with.
Training lifters and Crossfitters, I know that the shoulders get worked out more than any other joint and see more than their fair share of stress. So, I make it a top priority to make sure my trainees and athletes are familiar with correct patterns of movement, as well as knowing how to stretch and prepare their shoulders for the work that goes into a typical HIIT session.
