All I really need to know I learned in dance class: Chapt. 4
The plié is a foundational dance exercise to train the lower body for proper movement patterning.
All I really need to know I learned in dance class: Chapt. 3
Dancers do a lot of training in a turned out position. The important part isn't the position but the muscles that control thigh rotation.
Exercise in the “fat burning” zone
Exercise in the fat burning zone has some advantages but shouldn't necessarily be the centerpiece of your fitness plan.
All I really need to know I learned in dance class: Chapt. 2
Because the socket of the shoulder blade angles slightly forward, the movements that are least stressful for the arm are those that are angled slightly forward.
All I really need to know I learned in dance class: Chapt. 1
The principles that guide my practice originated in my experience as a dance student. These include the idea of activating your feet as you walk and jump.
Why you may need large doses of Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 deficiency is common, but fortunately you can bypass issues with poor absorption by taking large doses.
Primates follow one of three possible feeding strategies. Guess which one humans follow?
Humans are driven to consume adequate amounts of protein. The protein-poor foods that are readily available may be one of the causes of the obesity epidemic.
Why “squeeze your glutes” isn’t specific enough
There are four different muscle groups in the gluteal region, and differentiating between them is important for good posture.
Action posture versus passive posture
Posture is important to health. There's no single posture that's always appropriate, but familiarize yourself with "action posture" so you can use it as needed.
The hundred and first reason to exercise? Remodel abdominal fat
Endurance exercise will shift the structure and metabolism of abdominal fat. That's a good thing!
Strengthen your tendons to prevent injuries
Your tendons need exercise too! Strong tendons help prevent injuries. Eccentric exercise is a proven way to build tendon stiffness.
Loss of muscle isn’t an inevitable part of aging
Losing muscle as you age isn't inevitable. Those who practiced strength-building for one year had lasting results four years later. You can do it too!
