    Does your Achilles tendon ever feel tight or sore?

    Too often, the attempted remedies for Achilles issues focus only on the Achilles itself, leaving much to be desired in terms of pain and symptom relief.

    But, what if we told you that the symptoms in your Achilles aren’t actually indicative of an Achilles issue?

    Instead, almost every single Achilles issue is actually indicative of a muscle issue.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring why this is, where the muscle issues may be stemming from, and what you can do about them.

    If you have ever had an Achilles issue that took longer than you wanted to resolve, this conversation is for you!

    There are simple things you can implement immediately to start getting to the root of any muscle issues that are creating your Achilles symptoms.

    Do your shoulders round forward?

    It is often said that forward shoulders are a result of weakness in a specific muscle group called the rhomboids, but that’s actually not true.

    While the rhomboids can help to pull your shoulders back, it is extremely unlikely that them being weak will cause your shoulders to round forward.

    So unlikely in fact, that we have never seen that to be the case in over 14 years of working with people who have forward shoulders.

    However, we have consistently seen a number of other issues be huge contributors to forward shoulders.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are diving into what these other issues are and what you can do about them.

    If you have been trying to get your shoulders to pull back and your posture to improve by strengthening your rhomboids, listen up!

    There are a number of potential reasons why this approach may not be getting you the results you want.

    When you lift weights, should all of the weights you use for specific areas of the body be the same?

    Should you use the same amount of weight when you do leg extensions as when you do leg curls?

    Or rows and chest presses?

    Or squats and deadlifts?

    This is a question that we get a lot, and on this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are addressing it directly.

    Not only do we answer the question how it is often intended, but we answer another potential variation of it that actually has bigger implications for your strength and function overall.

    If you have ever wondered if you should be using the same weights for different exercises, listen up!

    This discussion will clear it up for you once and for all.

    Do your quads constantly feel tight despite your best efforts to get them to relax?

    Maybe you notice it after sitting for a while or after you have been standing more than normal.

    Or maybe they are always tight all times of day.

    While most approaches focus directly on trying to relax the tightness, there are multiple variables that may be contributing to the tightness.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing many of these variables and what you should be considering with each of them so you can finally have quads that feel relieved of tightness.

    If you have tried everything to get your quads to relax with minimal success, listen up!

    What we share in this discussion can finally unveil what you actually need to be focusing on.

    Forearm pain can be one of the most nagging, long-lasting issues you experience.

    While many remedies focus strictly on the forearms themselves, there are often things that are completely overlooked with these types of approaches.

    However, taking an approach that doesn’t solely focus on the forearms can actually create faster and longer-lasting relief.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are exploring three considerations that we have found to be helpful when working through forearm pain.

    If you are tired of the traditional approaches to addressing forearm pain, or if you’d like to learn what they may be missing, this conversation is for you.

    One of the most important areas of your body to keep strong as you age is your hands. Your hands are something you use for almost every task throughout your day, so maintaining their strength and function as the years go by is key to being able to keep doing your daily tasks independently.

    However, there are very few things that challenge most peoples’ hands during their average day, which means that their hands are getting weaker with every passing year.

    So, how can you make sure to keep your hands strong and possibly build back their strength if anything has been lost?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out a plan to help you do just that.

    If your hands have been feeling like they are getting weaker but you aren’t sure how to change that, listen up!

    The plan we lay out can guide you through exactly what you need to do.

    Do your tight IT bands keep you from working out on a regular basis?

    Tight IT bands are one of the most common complaints among people who try to exercise consistently, especially when doing running and other forms of endurance exercise. They can also be one of the most debilitating, as well, stopping many otherwise active people from working out for months on end.

    So if your IT bands are tight, are you just doomed to having to rest and become deconditioned until they feel better?

    Or are there ways you can workout without making your IT band tightness worse?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out specific principles for you to follow with your workouts if you have tight IT bands.

    Not only will these principles help keep you active despite the IT band tightness, they can also help you get to the root of what is causing this issue.

    If you feel like tight IT bands are keeping you from exercising how you want, listen up!

    What we share in this discussion can finally change that for you.

    Do you know the difference between rest and active recovery?

    While rest is often what is thought to be needed to help your body recover and feel better, that may not always be the case.

    In fact, there are many situations where active recovery is more effective than rest at getting your body back to feeling 100%.

    But what exactly is active recovery, how is it different from rest, and when should you aim to use one versus the other?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, this is exactly what we are diving into.

    Not only do we lay out what you need to know about both rest and active recovery, but we give you guidelines to follow to know which you should be doing.

    If you have ever wondered if you should focus more on taking days completely off versus getting some light activity in to help you recover from your workouts, listen up!

    This discussion has all the information you need.

    Professional athletes may be known for their speed, strength, and athleticism, but there is one thing that they do differently than most non-athletes that allows them to compete and perform at their highest level year after year.

    While you can look at their physical size, their young age, and their genetic gifts and think, “There’s nothing that they do that is applicable to me,” the truth is that there is a key component of their athletic success that they abide by religiously that you can 100% apply to your own life.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are unveiling what this key component is and how it applies to you.

    We lay out a framework for you to follow to make sure you are able to implement this key into your own life so you can continue to perform at your highest level every single day.

    If you want to feel like your body is on your side and is fully able to help you live your life, listen up!

    This discussion has the information you need to implement.

    Have you ever woken up with your neck feeling super stiff?Sch

    This is an issue that many people experience, and while the temptation often is to massage it or stretch it out, there are some steps that you can take that we’ve found to be far more effective and impactful.
