💥NEW LOCATION COMING SOON💥 . . Reign Fitness is moving into a new location starting April 1, 2019 (April fools day) located in Kenmore, WA and no it’s not a joke 😂 We really are moving! . . We have loved every minute up in Lynwood working inside @basebypros and being able to impact the lives we see on a day to day basis. But for us at Reign we always want to do more and impact more lives. So, we decided to get a bigger space and continue to work with even more clients to continue our passion and mission 💪🏻 . . As the space makes improvements I will make sure to take pictures and post them to our story or account! . . #reignfitness #reliable #resilient #relentless #reignyourrealm #newbeginnings #kenmore #fitnesscoaches #impactlives #makeadifference #results #goals #gym #hardwork #health #fitness #igfit https://www.instagram.com/p/Burmovyl2kl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qbx6wnta229s

With #snowpocalypse ❄️ among us the gym has unfortunately been shut down the past week! We can’t wait to get back to helping clients and do what we love. Here’s a video of Reign client @davidellingson5 hitting A 315lb Front Squat! . This off season has been great training Dave and we are pumped to see what he can do this year in whatever level he ends up in! I can tell you one thing, work ethic and consistency is why he is where he is today!

💥Client of the month💥 . . Noe has been at Reign for quite a while now and has been making amazing progress! We are proud of your hard work man 💪🏻 keep getting after it! . . What Noe has to say about training at Reign: “Reign Fitness is a great gym. I had troubles with consistently hitting the gym but Willie and James have developed such a great atmosphere that keeps me coming back. Their expertise is invaluable and they tailor to their clients goals. Their workouts challenge you to push pass previously conceived limits and keep you wanting to come back for your next workout.“ . . 🚨DM us if you are interested in training or have any fitness questions you need answered🚨 . . #trainreignfit #cotm #reignfitnesslynnwood #lynnwood #gym #training #trainer #hardwork #nutrition #healthylifestyle #results #goals #workhard #getfit #fitnessaddict #igfit #fitness #fitfam #motivation #workethic #studentathlete #baseball #pitcher #hitter #power (at Reign Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZiPBUlGzd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3zx88x1d6ggb

💥Some clips from our workout the other day💥 . . 1) Barbell Good-mornings. 2) Goblet Bulgarian split squats. 3) Barbell bench press. 4) Power cleans. . . Needed a change due to schedule so we have been doing 3 total body workouts a week with normally 8-12 different movements each workout. Doing this has allowed us to spend more time on business related things and giving back the community. Even though we have had a change in schedule we are still finding time to get a workout in and take care of our own personal well being. . . 🚨We encourage everyone to try and find any time they may have to put towards their health and fitness. I have never heard someone say they didn’t feel better after a workout🚨 . . #noexcuses #reignfitnesslynnwood #gym #local #washingtonstate #lynnwood #workout #fitness #personaltraining #training #getfit #workhard #results #goals #nutrition #food #health #wealth #knowledge #success #motivation #fitfma #armsrace #ironaddict (at Reign Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/BouoIJWF2St/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z1y9vik67bsx

Does your workout programming challenge you❓Do you feel as if you work hard enough every time you workout❓ . . If the answers to these questions are no, consider a few factors that could play into it this reasoning: . . 1) Not able to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Get out of your normal routine and do exercises that are challenging and/or new 2) Not quite sure how to program a workout that is personalized for you and your goals 3) Not incorporating enough compound and power movements . . Here we have @coltonlbunt performing his finisher after he has already completed his entire workout 💪🏻 . . 🚨 Interested in learning more?

Mobility and Stretching, do you do enough of it?

Why do you stretch? Why is it so important to stay mobile, especially when it comes to fitness?

I came across an article from the Mayo clinic that did an excellent job explaining the importance of stretching. It started off with saying that stretching will improve your joint range of motion, improve athletic performance and will decrease the risk of injury.  Sure, you might come across some articles that will say otherwise and in the end it is truly up to you and what you want to believe.  From a personal stand point I believe that stretching can and will be one of the most important tools as we get stronger and get into fitness. Stretching can have so many benefits, if its in yoga style, dynamic, static and others.  Each form of stretching that I listed can and will be beneficial for anyone to do.

For example, as we start to workout we get stronger, muscles bellies get bigger, which means limited range of motion if you are not taking care of your mobility as well.  You see a lot of athletes get injured when they don’t take the time to work on mobility especially after putting 10-20 pounds on during an off season. That will also go for an average gym goer as well.  If you take a full year and get stronger, put on muscle, but don’t stretch just as much as you workout, you will have a higher change of getting injured.  

A few tips to help and that you can find in this article are:

1)      Don’t consider stretching a warmup

2)      Strive for symmetry

3)      Focus on major muscle groups

4)      Don’t bounce

5)      Hold your stretch

6)      Don’t aim for pain

7)      Makes stretches sport specific

8)      Keep up with your stretching

9)      Bring movement into your stretching

 I attached the link below for you guys to follow and read.  If you have ever wondered why its so important this article should give you a much better understanding.
