Squatting, Lunging and Hinging

What we do at Gain is functional, in that it’ll help you do normal life stuff not in the context of a gym with set rep schemes and nice evenly distributed weights like kettlebells. 

Hannah and I have gotten a first hand dose of how important that stuff really is after being home with the baby for a week. 

There are countless times I’ve found myself squatting, hinging and lunging. Either to pick up something up while holding the baby, picking him up out of the crib or carefully going about household chores with him in tow. 

I’m sharing this as a reminder of what we do in the gym is about so much more than just getting fit, or looking good or perform well. It’s about being about to tackle life without any restrictions and not letting your physical self hold you back. Remember that when you’re lacking motivation.
