Lunges are a huge lower body movement. Yes, they work your quads, glutes, hamstrings and calves, but with the correct technique they engage your entire core (which is much more than just your abs!).
This means that even though a lunge is considered a single leg movement, you are working a lot of your stabilizer muscles too. We think – lunges are a rockstar movement!

Often, people assume explosive training is only reserved for highly trained athletes or those looking to improve sports performance. However, Grant understands that explosive training can serve a purpose in everyday life as well.
For example, if you see a child falling from the top of a slide or about to run onto the road and need to move fast to help them, you’ll use explosive strength to get there quickly.
A training session with Grant can be explosive and combine speed, strength, and power training with functional movement, allowing us to generate force quickly, or slow quickly. Explosive strength is necessary for improving reaction time for athletes, but is perhaps even more important in every day life.
Back extension exercises improve the stability and strength of your erector spine muscles. They also improve the range of motion of your lower back and can have a rehabilitative effect on people with poor lumbar or thoracic back posture.

When done correctly, these exercises are safe and very good for building overall strength and stability.

1. Stronger core muscles mean better balance and less chance of falls.
2. Weight training helps reduce abdominal fat, which may help prevent heart issues; it also helps control blood sugar, making it a great tool in prevention or management of Type 2 diabetes.
3. Working muscles against each other may help build and retain bone density. Since muscle requires more blood and oxygen to maintain, the body has to work harder to keep muscles supplied, raising metabolism and burning more calories.
4. It also helps improve mood, lessening depression and anxiety and improving sleep.
5. For improved quality of life. The fitter and stronger you are the more active you can be to enjoy life for longer.
The amount of time a muscle is held under tension or strain during an exercise set.
During TUT workouts, you lengthen each phase of the movement to make your sets longer. The idea is that this forces your muscles to work harder and optimizes muscular strength, endurance, and growth.
“As I train with a client and get to know their bodies, strength, mobility and mental capacity, we increase TUT sets to achieve maximum results.”

Adaptive Training has a few meanings, but let’s discuss Grant how Grant adapts his PT sessions for each client.
Grant has the gift and experience to know when to push you and when to meet you where you are at on any particular day. This can be adapting the entire session or just a few exercises to work around an injury or towards meeting a specific goal.
If you are after a trainer that is supportive, tough but also experienced in adaptive training sessions than Grant is the trainer for you!

The squat is frequently referred to as the king of all exercises. And for a good reason! It works some of the biggest muscles in the body, such as the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and core. Strengthening these muscles allows for easy movement and prevents injuries. In terms of everyday life, it is a functional movement that will serve you well long term.
The Squat ticks all the boxes for us!

During my fighting career I had to work at upholding a winning mindset at all times. There were times when I had to pick myself up off the canvas and come up fighting and hungry for the win. The hungrier I was for the win the more I wanted to get up.
What keeps you down is not your injuries or lack of ability, but fear. Fear of losing, fear of being hit, fear of not being good enough. You’ve got to grab the middle rope, pull yourself up, look your opponent in the eye and say COME ON, this ain’t OVER. And it’s never over – in fighting, in training, and in life.
Everything you want is on the other side of your fear. Embrace that shit head on and keep fighting.
It’s that simple
