Why do we switch up exercises in your workouts?

Exercise variations aren't just about making a movement easier or harder. Changing your stance, position, or equipment can help target different areas of a muscle, challenge your core in new ways, and keep your workouts interesting.

In this episode, we break down why we use different exercise variations and how they help you continue building strength, improving stability, and getting the most out of your training.

Crash diets might give you a lower number on the scale, but that doesn’t always mean better results.

In this episode, we’re talking about what can happen when you take dieting too far. Extreme calorie restriction can make it harder to fuel your workouts and maintain muscle, which can leave you with InBody results that don’t look the way you expected.

Losing weight and improving your body composition aren’t always the same thing.

If you want results that actually last, the goal shouldn’t be to eat as little as possible. It should be finding an approach you can maintain while continuing to train, build or maintain muscle, and feel good doing it.

Sometimes what feels like an injury may actually be coming from the way you’re moving.

In this episode, we’re talking about why form matters and how one small issue can affect everything up the chain. From your feet and ankles to your knees, back, and shoulders, the way your body is positioned can make a big difference.

We also break down some of the common coaching cues you’ll hear us use at Rise and why those little corrections matter.

Before you assume a movement just “isn’t for you,” it may be worth taking a closer look at your form.
