I’m at the gym doing barbell Romanian deadlifts, but you can easily substitute dumbbells for barbells. That’s what we do with our lower body exercises for people at home without barbells. The keys are the same in both cars: 1) keep the back flat by contracting the and and back muscles 2) keep the arms locked throughout 3) keep the feet flat on the floor 4) drive the hips back as far as possible feeling a good stretch in the glutes and hamstrings Some obvious errors that we make when we are getting started is to round the back, let the dumbbells travel away from the body and using the back instead of the legs to do the work. I am so happy to see so many amazing new faces joining us in the Train With Joan Fitness app! We are now on Android, and have more great features like tracking your body weight and photos to help keep you focus, motivated and committed to the work. Please remember that if you need support with the app, you want to email: [email protected] We have a support team working M-F, 9-5 pm Toronto time Only email once and give them 24-hours (business days) to get back to you. If you email more than that I’m afraid your ticket gets bumped to the bottom). Yikes! Make sure if you’re part of the app that you put [email protected] in your email contacts as we send many emails with articles and videos going into deeper detail how to do cardio, how to create your own macros, and how to use the app. I think a few people forget to do this and our emails get lost in the spam folder. For those of you doing the challenge, we have 5 weeks left to get some great momentum. This weekend we’ve been working hard on wrestling with our Barrier Stories. The question Gay Hendricks asks us is: what is the basis of our false belief that we can’t be happy? What event in childhood for@ed that false belief? Can we as adults chose to listen to a different belief system? . #deadsifts and mindset in one post, 2-for-1! . Happy Sunday!!
