Why do we add "Load" or weights to any resets? Why do I need extra weight on my head, wrists, ankles or torso? The bullet point version is this:
In actuality, there are 2 ways to load or weight the resets: either on the ground in a rolling or quadraped, ie crawling rocking etc fashion, or upright in a marching or cross crawling fashion. While both provide benefits stated above, any upright movement is going to be more challenging because they require greater coordination. The body has to work harder against gravity while vertical and with less points of contact.
Loading Parameters: Time
There are many ways to program loaded resets (distance speed etc). At GYBTH our favorite is to let the work accumulate with time. There are many reasons for this:Time under tension will facilitate muscle growth, minimize eccentric loading which aids in recovery and allows for greater frequency in training.

Self-care is “the verb of self-love. It’s really just saying, ‘How do I put into action loving myself, and reminding myself that I value my time and deserve nice things'? If it makes you feel good, it’s self-care. If it feeds your soul, it’s self-care.”
It’s a simple question. One of my favorite questions to ask as a gauge towards my alignment with truth, love, and abundance. Bringing awareness to your current focus can tell you much about where you are headed and what you are attracting as a result.
I'd love to share the advice that I wish I had known earlier: please make sure to catch yourself if you are someone who puts yourself down or buys into the saying that "we shouldn't get our hopes up" or that a goal has to be "reasonable."
Realize that we can only serve others from a place of abundance when that Universe first exist within us. You can attempt to fake it, but the Universe can’t be deceived. So, follow the whisper. Follow what feels right within you.
I am often asked: do you get adjusted too Doc? How often? Through the science of simply listening to my body, I have arrived at the number ten.
