We lie Down. We get Up. Do you?
Lie down. Get up. Every day. We do a lot of getting up and down here at Fivex3 Training. It’s just routine by now. We lie down. We stand up. We squat. (We squat a lot.) We get into half kneeling positions practically Every.Single.Class. I don’t think we ever sit…unless maybe we are stretching at […]

It’s Hard to be You Sometimes. But it doesn’t have to be.
“Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.” Martina Navratilova A few weeks ago, I got sucked in to watching videos about young women who are anorexic. ;( I know, why would I let this happen, you are asking yourself. Not a great topic to talk about, is it? All […]
Please. Stand up straight.
Ladies. Please. Stand up straight. Now. I see them all the time. Young women. Walking, jogging, sitting, talking on their phones.
