Roman Training

This weekend, Roman Training bootcamp members went for a morning hike with burpees and live music at night. I’m making a community out of people who want to be fit and want to make friends in the process! Come hang out with us!

6 am run and lift. My team doesn’t hold back! Shannon Ng Richard Gonzales Ollie Brown

Going from rear lunges to single-leg squats takes a certain mindset that I encourage. Nice work, Nara! She was inspiring others next to her today!

Anti-rotation for core strength. A plank is an anti-bending or anti-extension exercise, but take away one arm and you’re holding tight against twisting and rotating. This is a simple way to challenge and build your core strength if you mind your form! You’ve probably seen, AND DONE, a plank shoulder tap exercise where you take a hand off the floor to touch the other shoulder. But did your torso move, twist, rotate? If not, you braced your abs and upper torso A LOT. ... It can be hard doing this right the first time, so try balancing a water bottle or small dumbbell on your back to stay focused. You’ll feel your six-pack and obliques growing as the seconds tick by. I incorporate this rule into unilateral (1-sided) exercises like 1-arm bent over freestanding rows and step ups because the more firm you can keep your core under pressure, the stronger it is. Try out what you see in this video. You’ll feel it working right away!
