Winter snow storm alert

This is going to be a record year for snow accumulation and with this big storm coming our way, they say about 50 cm, people in record numbers will be tackling the snow with their shovels and clearing out drive ways.

But, it will also be a record year for blown backs and pinched nerves. Unless you get prepared.

I just finished shoveling snow off my parents' deck. The snow is piled high, roughly 7 feet.

It was a great workout. I couldn't help to think how shoveling snow resembles martial arts training.

You need a Strong Foundation. Body Alignment. Grip Strength. Stamina. Balance. Coordination.

You need to be Ambidextrous and Resilient.

I feel great. No pain. No injury.

Training the way we do can help you do any mundane task like shoveling snow better, more efficiently, while significantly dropping your chances of injuring yourself.

When you train correctly you really feel like you're built to last.

One secret to building an injury proof body is through stretching consistently and effectively.

One of the first things you learn from stretching is body alignment and body awareness.

Acquiring just these 2 qualities can rid you of unnecessary pain.

You can learn those and a slew of others with our Flexibility training system.

Train to be "Built to last",
