Elite Performance Institute

A look back at last Sunday’s Fitness on the Green at Block59! 🙌

We had a great time talking about spinal mobility, movement, and some simple ways to keep your body moving well.

Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us, and a big thank you to Block 59 for having Elite Performance Institute be part of the event!

5 Swiss ball exercises to challenge your hamstrings, glutes, hips, and core 💪 Hamstring curls, single-leg glute bridges, dead bugs, hip abduction, and stir the pot all give you a lot of options with one simple piece of equipment. Save this one for your next workout!

If exercise names were literal… Part 2 😂 Box jumps, dumbbell snatches, barbell cleans, kettlebell swings, and sit-ups might look a little different than you’re used to. Which exercise should Dr. Max take literally next?

Knees feeling a little cranky? Here’s my Happy Knee Circuit — four simple exercises that work different muscle groups around the knee and lower leg: adductor ball squeeze, Swiss ball hamstring squeeze, double-leg calf raise, and anterior tib raise. It’s a simple circuit that can be a useful addition to a knee strengthening or rehab program.

Got a foam roller? Here are 5 different ways to use it for soft tissue work, mobility, control, and exercise.

Simple equipment. Plenty of options.

Turns out exercise names are pretty straightforward.

Bench press = press the bench.
Foam rolling = roll the foam roller.
Good mornings=wake up.

Dr. Max finally cracked the code. 😂

The hip hinge isn’t just something you practice with a barbell.

You use this movement pattern throughout everyday life—sitting into a chair, opening a door with your hands full, picking something up from the floor, and much more.

RDLs are one great way to train it, but the real goal is becoming better at the movement itself.

Catching requires much more than skill. You need enough hip and spine mobility to repeatedly squat, rotate, block, receive, move laterally, and get up to throw.

Once I got to college, mobility became a regular part of my routine instead of something I only worked on when I felt tight.

Your skills can get you on the field. Your body has to keep you there.
