My Saturday morning routine 🔥 Your morning is the one part of the day you fully control. Start with intention instead of reacting, and you go into the day grounded and focused. Do it every day and you’re not just having good mornings, you’re becoming someone who shows up. Health bounce: Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like your heart does. It depends on movement to keep fluid flowing. Light, loose bouncing with relaxed arms, shoulders and jaw gets everything moving, shakes off the stiffness, and wakes your whole body up. 🥢 @stickmobility: gives me support and feedback, so I can safely go deeper into thoracic rotation and open up my hips and feet. 🔗 in Bio 🙏🏽 @Slackblock_balance: Balancing on an unstable surface builds ankle strength and stability and helps your joints work together. As you know, planks build core strength from head to heel, which protects your back and gives every other movement a solid base. My infrared 🔴 light is from @thepodcompany along with my “Ice Pod Pro” Cold plunge. Discount 🔗 is in my bio 🙏🏽 Your morning routine doesn’t have to look like mine. What matters is having something consistent, because that consistency carries over into every goal you’re working toward. So tell me, what does your morning look like? Is it coffee, a stretch, a walk, a run? Hopefully nothing too stressful, just something that helps improve you. Drop it below 👇🏼 #germanyfit 💢 #morningroutines #mobilitytraining #goodmorning #wellness

Who likes Adult Playtime? 🦶🧠 Sometimes I give my clients an exercise. Sometimes I give them a movement problem and let them figure it out. It looks like play because it is play. But there’s a whole lot happening underneath it: 🦶 Foot & toe dexterity 🧠 Proprioception and body awareness ⚖️ Single-leg balance 🍑 Hip stability and hinging 👣 Intrinsic foot strength 🔄 Coordination and motor control 🎯 Controlling your center of mass Your feet are constantly feeding your brain information about the ground, your position and how you need to react. Giving them unusual problems to solve is one of my favorite ways to train that connection. That’s also why we train barefoot in Strength & Balance Lab. Taking the shoes out of the equation lets the feet move, spread, grip and feel the ground while we strengthen the small muscles of the feet and challenge all that sensory feedback. Shoes are tools too—but when it’s safe and appropriate, I want your feet doing the work. Explore. Adapt. Problem-solve. Play. That’s Strength & Balance Lab. Learn more or register at dtm-fitness.com. Private Strength & Balance Coaching is also available. Come play with us in Strength & Balance Lab. We train strength, balance, mobility, coordination, proprioception and real-world movement—with plenty of room to explore, experiment and play. Strength & Balance Lab Monday • Wednesday • Friday Drop in anytime 6:00–9:00 AM No competition. No keeping up with the person next to you. Everything can be scaled to your body, your experience and your goals. 👉 dtm-fitness.com Private Strength & Balance Coaching is also available. #StrengthAndBalanceLab #BalanceTraining #FunctionalMovement #Proprioception #barefoottraining

Janet Miller embodies the spirit of a Park City local: energetic, outdoorsy, and always chasing the next adventure. At 65, she spends her summer days paddleboarding, riding her single-speed on the trails, or ripping around on her dirt bike with the kind of energy that defines life in a mountain town. “My life is a series of good weeks,” she says with a laugh, fresh off a trip to Las Vegas to see the Eagles play at the Sphere. Her zest for life is splashed across her skin in permanent ink, a dozen tattoos that serve as mementos of defining chapters in her life. On her arm, large flowers surround a bicycle, with “two wheels move the soul” captioned underneath. The side of her face is adorned with a unalome, an ancient Buddhist symbol representing the path to enlightenment and spiritual awakening, inked by her 28-year-old son, a tattoo artist at Hearts and Hands Tattoo in Orem. For Janet, a longtime fitness trainer, life has always been defined by movement in both work and play. Landing in Park City over 35 years ago has given her the lifestyle she always craved—from the Jordanelle Reservoir to the trails to the slopes, it’s the perfect playground for someone who thrives on staying active. “The outdoor opportunities—it’s just never ending here,” Janet says.

👣 Your feet are your foundation: 🏃‍♂️ Every sprint, jump, cut, and lift starts from the ground up. 💪🏼Strong and mobile toes/ankles help create better balance, improve force production, and help reduce unnecessary stress on the ankles, knees, hips, and back. #sportsperformance #anklemobility #foothealth #explore #sportsmassage

I know it’s been said thousands of times before but for basketball players, some dedicated foot & ankle work daily can yield some extremely beneficial returns on time investment. Here are some of my favorites that always stay in rotation (along with traditional lifting barefoot or in socks) ✅Slant Board Kettlebell Wraps Resisting ankle inversion with the use of the slant board. Improve frontal plane ankle stability. Build lateral ankle resilience for cutting and landing. ✅Foot Wedge Drop Catches Reinforce a stable tripod foot (1st met head, 5th met head & heel). Improve foot stiffness and enhance force transfer from the ground up. ✅Slack Block Drop Catches Challenge reactive foot and ankle stability. Improve proprioception. Build rapid co-contraction around the ankle. Simple staples like these can help build a robust foundation from the ground up.
