Focused calf work is great for all athletes not ju

Focused calf work is great for all athletes not just runners. Calf raises are easy and can be done anywhere. They are so easy that they are often rushed through without checking to see if they’re being performed correctly.

Incorrectly doing a calf raise can decrease performance and increase risk of overuse injury.

If you lack big toe mobility, the foot will compensate and shift your weight onto the outside toes causing the ankle to roll out. Placing a ball between the heels when doing calf raises corrects poor form at the top of the movement.

When a calf raise is done incorrectly it can decrease the effectiveness of the Posterior Tibialis muscle, a muscle that’s essential for ankle stabilization when pressing off as you walk or run.

Basically keeping your weight and lifting up through your big and second toe will engage the correct muscles.

Give this quick fix a try!

Chrissie has been dealing with elbow pain for the past couple of months but she hasn’t let that sidetrack her training.
⠀⠀
In many situations, the psychological and hormonal effects of training will do more to accelerate the healing process than staying completely sedentary. This will also help you maintain your pre-injury fitness levels. When an injury occurs, our goal as your coach is to help you find a training menu of alternative exercises. These options allow you to show up, train, socialize, be a part of your community and continue to progress where possible. Without aggravating the injured segment.

Here we see Chrissie adjusting how she loads her Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat. The weight vest and front racked sandbag allow her to challenge the weight for her lower body without adding extra stress to her elbow and further causing her pain.

Find a coach that can help you modify so you won't have to miss another workout!

Tight cranky hip flexors? Do you spend lots of tim

Tight cranky hip flexors? Do you spend lots of time stretching and massaging your hip flexors?

Often, an anteriorly tipped pelvis may have changed the position of your hip flexors, resulting in an altered length tension relationship and weakness.

Instead of continuing to mash already inflamed tissue, try strengthening those hip flexors.

Here we see Kyle performing Seated Isometric Hip Flexor Lift Offs. Static holds like these are the foundation and starting point to strengthen tissue. Give them a shot and see if they help.

We have coaches ready to help you!

Anterior Tibialis Toe Lifts are a great way to maintain lower leg health and can be a useful tool in rehab for shin splints and knee rehabilitation.

This is Keith

Keith is a father, a husband, a skater, a mountain biker, and a music lover.

His main goal when starting at Fitwit was being able to maintain activities like mountain biking as he ages.

This is Keith’s first time Trap Bar deadlifting!

Keith’s hard work and consistency earned this progression! He’s been training in the Semi-Private program 2 days a week since August 2021. After working his way up all the Kettlebell weights it was time to progress his deadlift to the Trap Bar.

Big shout out to Keith for all the hard work and effort.

If you are looking for a coach to help you dial in your technique or find the right movement for your goals. Fitwit has both one on one training and semi-private offerings.
