Why you NEED good mornings!!

This can be the ultimate move you were missing in your workouts especially if you are having low back pain.

if you do barbell back squats, you have to engage your back muscles and core to support you.

With the hinge movement, and the load placement of the barbell for a good morning, it helps you develop more of that core stability

... Read moreGood mornings are a highly effective exercise that can serve as the 'secret sauce' to enhancing your lifting capabilities and achieving pain-free workouts. Not only do they target the posterior chain, but they also enhance core stability, which is crucial for maintaining form during other lifts, such as barbell back squats. By properly engaging your back muscles and core during good mornings, you can alleviate low back pain that many experience during their fitness journey. To optimize this movement, focus on the hinge movement that is fundamental to the exercise. The load placement of the barbell significantly contributes to its effectiveness, ensuring that you strengthen the muscles that stabilize your spine. Incorporating good mornings into your regimen, especially if you're struggling with back issues, can lead you to a more balanced physique and boost overall strength. Moreover, good mornings can be seamlessly integrated into various workout styles, whether you’re focusing on strength training, hypertrophy, or even preparing for athletic performance. They complement exercises such as squats and deadlifts perfectly, promoting not just strength but also flexibility in the hips and hamstrings. By adding good mornings to your workout routine, you'll not only gain strength but also resilience, allowing you to push through your limits without the fear of injury. So, if you're looking for that essential move to enhance your workouts and build a stronger, healthier body, good mornings are undoubtedly worth the effort.

Soft mornings ✨
don’t rush my mornings anymore… I ease into them. Soft sheets… warm coffee… quiet thoughts that don’t demand anything from me. This is what it feels like to choose peace first. To not wake up in survival mode… but in softness… in stillness… in control. Everything I need will come…

After 5PM, the body begins shifting toward rest and repair. Digestion is no longer at peak strength. If dinner is too late, too heavy or too large, your body continues digesting when it should be preparing for sleep. This often leads to: • Night bloating • Shallow sleep • Morning fatigue
