Training Room_Say "Hello" to Telehealth!

My top 3 exercises that can be done at home consist of a deadbug, pushup, single leg squat, and if you have a band, a row variation. I like full body training to create balance in the body. Each one of these exercises has a different emphasis. Give these three demonstrations a try to keep your fitness up at home. DEADBUG For our deadbug, our main goal is to try and glue our back to the floor as we let our foot fall straight out in front of us. This length really challenges our core strength and ability to keep our pelvis still. PUSHUP The pushup is one of the best upper body strength exercises. Keys to a successful pushups include bracing through the core to make sure our body moves in unison. This means from our head to heel, our body will be in linear alignment or perfectly straight. If this is challenging, we can elevate our hands to decrease resistance so using a chair or couch can be helpful. SINGLE LEG SQUAT The single leg squat not only challenges balance but tests our strength as well. We are going to control our decent as we lower towards a chair, couch, or bench. The difficulty of these can be changed by adapting our range of motion. So we can sit to something higher or lower to accommodate for our fitness level.

comfortable and thoughtful. My trainer, Akil, was also recommended to me by my coworker, and there again, she was spot on. He is a great communicator, and a gentle, pleasant personality. It is so easy to pop on to Doxy.me and do our sessions. He explained the specific area where my pain was originating from, on a shared screen, with skeletal diagrams, and showed me the muscle groups we would work on strengthening. I just have an Acer Chromebook, which isn’t a fancy computer, but the tele-sessions still work out great. I have never done physical therapy in person, which is possibly preferable, but due to PATIENT SPOTLIGHT

“I was recommended to the Training Room by a coworker of mine, who was working on a leg issue. I have

current circumstances, I’m so grateful to still be able to access a physical trainer. I am perfectly able to see Akil model my assigned exercises, speak with him, and have him evaluate my posture/stance when copying the exercises. In just 3 weeks, my back is already feeling more mobility, less pain, and more stable than in the past two years. Obviously, I am extremely happy that I decided to not only do physical therapy, but to take my coworker’s recommendation of The Training Room. This is my new happy place!” – Alison K.

had a nagging back issue for 2 years, with pain and limited mobility from a ladder fall. I had done lots of previous chiropractic, yoga and other exercises, but was just not getting the improvement I was hoping for. I have had more improvement in the three weeks I have been working with my physical trainer here, than in the past two years! The facility was perfectly neat and clean, and Ann at the reception desk was really nice. My assessment with Mandy was thorough,
