3 Costly Mistakes You’re Currently Making No one likes to make mistakes. We want everything to be perfect. But mistakes are common. If you’re making these 3 common weight loss mistakesthen it could make losing weight or getting in shape a heck of a lot harder. ... 1. Eating Too Many Calories In order to lose weight, you need to be working in a calorie deficit--meaning you need to burn more calories than you’re eating. For most people, this may be a struggle. Even if your portions are small, you may still be taking in too many calories, which could be keeping your weight the same, or even increasing it. Get it right and track your calories to see where you are at currently and where to adjust calories. 2. Not Eating Enough Not eating enough can also add to your weight gain. When you don’t eat enough calories, your body may think you’re starving, so it conserves your fat stores and slows down your metabolism, so you don’t continue to lose. Very low calorie diets may look appealing, the damage to your metabolism and lean muscle stores could have a potentially negative result for your weight. 3. You’re Focusing Only on Cardio Although cardio is a great way to burn a lot of calories in one session, it may not be the most effective way to lose weight and tone up. In fact, it may do the opposite. This is why you should be doing more strength trainingto build your lean muscle mass, which may speed up your metabolism. It may not lead to a significant impact on the scale, but it will alter your body composition, so you have less body fat and more lean mass. When you’re trying to lose weight, everyone makes mistakes. And these mistakes may prevent you from losing weight or changing your body composition. Even though there are many different mistakes you could be making, these three seem to be the most common. By fixing these common mistakes, you could see positive changes on the scale, decreased body fat, and more energy throughout the day. #chicofitness #chicocalifornia #buttecounty #healthylifestyle #healthyeating #fitness #calories

No shoes! Get your foot muscles working! Whether you play, played or never participated in team sports your body was created to move. The foot has a purpose. It all starts with the feet. So get those shoes and socks off. Feel the ground and wake up that foot. #chicofitness #chicocalifornia #buttecounty #barefoottraining #strength #foothealth

#repost Words couldn’t be more true. Lift heavy weight. It won’t make you bulky, ladies.

Probably the biggest hang up for people starting a workout program, gym membership or any other self improvement is that they feel they need to be _______ (fit, skinny, etc) to join or get going. Honestly I wish more people cared more about themselves than what they think others think about them. . Have COURAGE to start. Take ACTION to get going. . Make the COMMITMENT to yourself and for yourself. ... . Get out there and get it done people.

Hey I hope your Christmas shopping is going well. If you don’t know what to get the fitness enthusiast in your life here are some recommendations: . The TRX is a suspension trainer and is great for workouts anywhere. I personally own one for my house but at Creed we use the Jungle Gym XT (cost affective but a great product) . The Sling Shot Hip Circle is a staple at Creed. Clients use them multiple times a week. They get those glutes firing and ready. Plus can be used for a...dding difficulty in squats or deadlifts. . Power/strength bands are versatile and can be used in every exercise. Not just for adding resistance but for helping assist in pull-ups and push-ups. . Hope this helps. Merry Christmas. . #christmaslist #giftideas #fitness #strength #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #chicofitness #chicocalifornia #buttecounty See more

I know this pandemic is keeping people down. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Get up and reclaim your mind and body. Get to a gym! Get outside. Make your own home gym; start small with bands. . Active and healthy people are many times less at risks to getting sick. . Take vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc and a multi. If you need some suggestions I have some awesome vitamins I can recommend. ... . If you need help from home or if you need a place to train come check out Creed Strength. . #chico #chicocalifornia #buttecounty #chicofitness #health #fitness #strengthandconditioning #nutrition See more

Subject: 5 Tips To Surviving Holiday Parties The holiday season can be hard for those looking to lose weight. You have high-calorie foods and parties to attend everywhere . But how can you manage to keep your goals on track, if you’re invited to parties where there are tasty treats tempting you everywhere?... . It’s easy.you can still stay on track and enjoy the festivities when you follow these tips: . 1. Choosing Your Foods Wisely . Studies show you consume the most food with your first plate. Be sure to choose lower-calorie foods, like veggies and fruit, and including lots of appetite-suppressing protein. . 2. Drink Responsibly . Alcohol can supply your body with lots of empty calories that often go straight to your hips. And, most glasses don’t have an easy measuring system, so filling up your glass may give you double, if not triple, the calories you’re expecting. You could opt for a lower-calorie drink option, or simply count for 3-seconds to make sure you’re getting the right serving size. . 3. Get Your Sleep the Night Before . This tip goes for all scenarios, and not just for holiday parties. Studies show people getting less than 5 hours of sleep, crave unhealthy foods, and have increased appetites. . 4. Practice Mindful Eating . Mindful eating is a process where you take smaller bites and you chew slower and longer. This process does two things for you: 1) it really lets you appreciate the food you’re eating, and 2) tricks your brain into thinking you ate more, so you feel full faster. This could be one of the easiest way to cut down on calories. . 5. Use a Smaller Plate . This tip can be used anywhere, and is not just reserved for parties. When you use a smaller plate, it gives your body the impression that you ate more than you really did. Plus, when you’re adding salad, fruits, and veggies to your plate, there’s not much room for anything else (except protein). You can save yourself a lot of calories, just by switching to a smaller plate. . As the holiday season ramps up, you may be invited to parties each weekend. And this may be great for your social life, but might not be that great for your waistline. But, if you keep these tips in mind next time you hit the party circuit, then you could maintain fun this holiday season while keeping your weight lossor any other goalin check. See more

One of the most important exercises to perfect is the hip hinge also known as the Romanian Deadlift (RDL). Key to performing this with the right technique is learning how to maintain a neutral spine as you hinge back with your hips. One of the biggest things you could practice before you load this movement is the hip hinge with a dowel along your back, as pictured in the beginning slides. You want to keep your weight evenly distributed in your feet, don’t let your toes lift o...ff the ground, hinge and push your butt back like you’re aiming for the wall behind you. It is okay to slightly bend the knee, but not actively. Make sure you are bracing your core, you can think about this by keeping your rib cage down rather letting it flare up and out. Your shoulders should stay drawn back as to not allow your upper back to round. Bar depth is going to depend on your flexibility and when you start to feel a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes. To stand back up drive your hips forward using your glutes and hamstrings, squeeze your butt at the top. For breathing during the RDL take your breath in at the top, brace your abs, hinge and breath out forcefully on the way up. I like to superset the RDL with an upper body exercise, like the TRX Row. This makes your grip work more, and it gives you a good pump in your forearms as well as activating your scapula. #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #chicocalifornia #strengthandconditioning #exerciseoftheday #form #technique #RDL #romaniandeadlift @ Creed Strength & Fitness See more

First pic was Sunday. Second pic was today after going to work. Not too much swelling. Played it smart and kept with the compression stocking and ace bandage most the day. Now I’m icing. The knee is definitely tired from my body being upright a good part of the day. But I’m able to put load on it and only some movements bug it. As much as I think I could walk on it with no help I will play it safe for this week and let it heal a little more. I do plan on getting an upper body lift in tomorrow with some single leg work on my left. #recovery #meniscustear #cleanup #creedstrengthandfitness #rehab #tooeasy @ Chico, California

Last set of these for awhile. Going in for meniscus repair today. Not sure what will happen. Doc will either clean it up and take the damaged part out or he will be able to repair it and stitch it back together to keep the padding. I am hoping for the full repair. I am looking forward to this. It’s been a year now on a torn meniscus. Not fun. See y’all on the flip side. #creedstrengthandfitness #meniscustear #meniscussurgery #iwillneverstop #chico #chicocalifornia #chicofitness #buttecounty

My client @keelykl just told me that after her hormone panel and full blood test that was done, the doctor told her that for a 56 year old post-menopausal woman she has the best hormonal levels possible. AND..... it’s because she works out and eats well. He also said that he wouldn’t ever need to put her on Wellbutrin as long as she continues her routine. And one of his common recommendations for menopausal or post menopausal women is Wellbutrin. However, he feels that wo...men like Keely who work out and take care of their body won’t need the drug because the workout and nutrition combo can do what is needed for hormonal issues. . . . So if you are interested in getting your workout and nutrition right don’t be afraid to reach out. I would love to help and we are still working out at Creed Strength. We are outside in the back alley. We are spread out and not sharing equipment. Come check us out. . . Don’t be afraid.

Happy Friday! Showing some love to the clients by passing out protein shakes to the clients after their workout. Everybody has loved this protein so far, I get this protein from @melaleuca_inc .

#repost from @physiqonomics I have been talking to more and more clients about what it takes to loose weight. This goes into some great depth and I can’t stress this info enough.

Have a great Thursday. #creedstrengthandfitness #fatloss #it’sscience @ Creed Strength & Fitness

Athletes at Creed Strength are back at it! What are you doing this summer to increase your athletic performance? #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #chicocalifornia #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #basketball #soccer #football #baseball #volleyball #chicohigh #pvhigh

Ankle Mobility is important for your ability to squat well, get into good depth and also maintaining proper knee and ankle alignment during your squats, lunges, etc.. I’ve been using these three mobility drills with my clients consistently as a squat warm up. I got the Combat Stretch from the guys at Mind Pump, The Open Half Kneeling Calf Stretch from the Functional Movement Screen and the Standing Calf Stretch with a Rotation from Kelly Starrett. Generally these stretches you can hold for 3-5 seconds per rep and do about 5 reps per side included into your squat prep. #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #chicocalifornia #california #anklemobility #mobility

I get a lot of people asking me: How do you train hard and stay injury free? One of the biggest techniques I use in my programming is the ratio of Anterior Exercise vs. Posterior Exercises. I favor Posterior Exercises generally 3 exercises for every 1 exercise of an Anterior Exercise. An example of an Anterior Exercise is anything pushing vertically or horizontally, example: Shoulder Press & Chest Press. An example of a Posterior Exercise is anything pulling horizontall...y or vertically, example: Dumbbell Rows & Pull Ups. This ratio is going to help combat excessive internal rotation of the shoulders. Lower Body Anterior Exercises would be exercises that are more quad or hip flexor focused exercises, example: Step Ups & Leg Extensions. Lower Body Posterior Exercises would be exercises that are more glute and hamstring focused, example: RDL & Hamstring Curls. Things that can help you combat Anterior Pelvic Tilt (tight hip flexors) and low back pain are to do more glute and hamstring work throughout the week. In my workout I’m having my clients do this Wednesday as seen on the first slide, I have made sure that they are doing at least twice as many back exercises than chest. We have even added in some glute work with our Sled Pushes. Feel free to try the workout, and tell me what you think! If you want to learn how to workout for longevity and a better quality of live, reach out and let me know, we can talk. #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #chicocalifornia #california #strengthtraining #posture @ Creed Strength & Fitness See more

Here are a few techniques I have personally used for recovering from my low back injury. You can use these exercises in your warmup or as something to do at the end of a hard day. Wall Breathing 3x4-5 breaths. 90-90 Wall Breathing 3x4-5 breaths.... Seated Balloon Breathing 3x4-5 breaths. @healthymamaso @crystalthomasfit @posturalrestoration #creedstrengthandfitness #lowbackpain #chico #chicocalifornia #california #backhealth #balloonbreathing See more

Here’s a little mobility drill for those with a stiff upper back AKA your Thoracic Spine. Thoracic Spine mobility is important for neck and shoulder health. It also will allow the scapula to do its job as it slides, glides and rotates along the rib cage. Exercise 1: Kneeling T-Spine Rotation. A good start would be 2x10ea. Exercise 2: Side Lying T-Spine Rotation w/Reach. Do 2x5 breaths ea.... Exercise 3: Bench T-Spine Mobilization. Do 2x5 with 2 breaths per rep. If you want to check your mobility and stability, reach out to me and I would be happy to put you through the Functional Movement Screen. We can start working on your corrective exercises together. Cheers. #creedstrengthandfitness #mobilitymonday #mobility #chico #chicocalifornia #california See more

Athletes, this one is for you. I want to share with you about the importance of a systematic workout. Always start with a good warmup and movement prep for what you are about to do that day. i.e.Today we did plyos, some deadlifts and pull ups. We started with a whole body warmup, some hip mobility and a deep squat progression. Then we continued our prep with some single leg TKE Squats and some ankle stiffness training with Pogos. We also focused on training with our shoes... off to strengthen the feet which will help in your sport. After warmup and movement prep, do your explosive work before your main lifts. Today’s plyo work consisted of progressing from a Box Jump to some single leg work with a single leg depth drop to an ice skater into an penultimate jump. After our plyos, we went into our main lift of the day, Trapbar Deadlifts. We did 4x5 reps. Accessory work for the day was: -3x8 Half-Kneeling DB Press -3x25 seconds Pallof hold -3x6-8 Chin-Ups #creedstrengthandfitness #strengthandconditioning #chico #california #chicocalifornia #plyos #athleticperformance #pvhighschool #chicohighschool See more

Corrective Exercise 101; Use this strategy for dealing with any upper body postural issues of the neck and shoulder. Inhibit AKA self-myofascial release: 45 seconds or longer per side. You can use a lacrosse ball, foam roller, tennis ball, etc.. Chest Smash w/Arm Movement... Neck Smash w/Head Rotations Lat Smash w/Arm Reach Lengthen: do two minutes per stretch each side. Chest Corner Stretch Lat Stretch Seated Neck Stretch Activate: Strengthening potentially under active or weak muscles. 3x10 for the YTWL’s 3x10 for the Towel Resisted Neck Activation 3x10 second holds for the Chin Tuck #correctiveexercise #posture #creedstrengthandfitness #chico #california #chicocalifornia See more

Barefoot training is an outstanding way to build up the muscles of your feet. Why is that important? . Well it all starts from the ground up. Wearing shoes, boots, high heals, flip-flops make your feet desensitized to stimuli that the receptors of your feet could be picking up and having to adjust to. Therefore you lose out on the muscles activating. . .... The first video is an exercise that I picked up from @pjfperformance that I am using with my athletes and soon my other clients. This is great for the foot and the ankle. . The second video: well I practice what I preach. . If your feet are something you want to work on then maybe start with just doing your warm up with bare feet. Then progress from there. . . #barefoottraining #creedstrengthandfitness #anklestrengthening See more

Here’s a PSA for you Gym-Goers: Gyms are reopening, and here are some things to remember as you get back into the gyms so you don’t lose your groove. You might be lacking motivation because your fitness goals have taken a step back due to the shut down. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get back into your routine: - Don’t be discouraged, muscle memory will kick in as you get back into it. Give it a few weeks and you’ll bounce right back. - Find a reliable training ...partner or join a semi-private gym. - Put your workout times in your calendar as if they’re an appointment. - Pack your gym bag and put it by your front door the night before. - If you workout in the morning, put your alarm across the room so you have to get out of bed. - Make Sunday food prep day, if that’s too overwhelming or you hate to cook, use a delivery service. - If you eat out a lot, create your standard orders. One of mine comes from Bacio’s Catering @baciochico and I go pick it up. #creedstrengthandfitness #strengthandconditioning #chico #california #chicocalifornia #fitness #motivation See more

Who has injured their low back in weight training or just life in general? I have. Twice training and I had a bit of an issue with my low back coming home from deployment. So I know how some of y’all feel!! . Usually low back pain stems for postural issues; the main one called lower-cross syndrome where abs and glutes are weak and hip flexors and low back are over active. . Here are 10 of my favorite movements to do to work on hip alignment and proper activation of th...e hip/glute complex. . 1: Wall Sit w/Block Sqeeze 2-3setx40sec. Abs drawn in. Squeeze at 6/10 effort. 2: Wall Sit w/Belt Press 2-3setx40sec. Press out at 6/10 effort. 3: Banded Glute Bridge 2-3x20. Abs in rib cage down. 4: Banded Kick Ups 2-3x10ea. Abs tight here. No moving from low back. 5: Monster Walks- forward and backwards 2-3x10ea leg. Step out and forward. 6: Monster Walks- backwards 2-3x10ea leg. Step back and out. 7: Banded Squats 2-3x10. Shove knees out and keep feet flat. 8: Couch Stretch 2x1-2min hold. Squeeze glutes and abs. 9: Lat Stretch 2x1-2min hold. Push back for stretch. Deep breaths. 10: Wall Breathing 2-3x5 breaths. Lean (not sit) against wallIn through the nose and forcefully out the mouth. Draw abs in and rib cage down. . . Have fun with this. Let me know how your back feels after. If you need more help then DM me. I would love to share with you some ways we can work together towards your goals.

To develop as an athlete make sure you’re working on strength; like Brynn setting a PR on her glute bridge, working on speed and agility; like Becca running her liners, and working on power; like Parker working on his medball slams.
