Spinal stability and pelvic control is a requirement before any high speed rotational work. 

Dynamic multi plane and rotational training is a great way to progress core movements for runners, golfers, surfers and or any other dynamic sports requiring rotation plane movements. Hint: We use rotation every step you are walking!

It’s worth noting that a big chunk of pre-dynamic movements it is extremely important to develop intrinsic core control.  This basically means you need to have the “inner-unit” of the core functioning very well, before working on the fast and fancy core training.

Why does it always matter to us what we used to weigh, measure, what we’ve lost, what we’ve gained, how far we’ve come, how far we have to go...? KPI’s, Point A to Point B, measurements, achievements, failures, deadlines, rewards, punishments, numerical values....it all keeps us aligned with left brain, logical, stuff & noise, and locked in the past, doesn’t it? And WHAT does it all matter when the bottom line is HOW YOU FEEL, RIGHT NOW, IN THE SKIN YOU’RE IN.
I challenge you to think about a time you felt GREAT in your body, & I’m confident I could guarantee it wasn’t the number on the scales or the size pants you were wearing that made you feel great, it was the level of time, energy and love you showed your body through your daily choices ❤️

Most runners & high capacity athletes/competitors focus on “core training,” but few truly understand the abdominal wall’s role in performance and spinal health. As a CHEK trained coach, I assess and condition the core systematically teaching my client’s & athletes how overused muscle groups can create hidden compensations and leave key stabilizers underdeveloped. When we learn to engage and balance the abdominal wall correctly, they not only protect their spine but unlock more efficient movement, strength, and longevity on the track 💨🏃🏻‍♂️👟

My Big 4 Hacks Reducing Inflammation & Boosting Your Immune System

1. Heal your gut.
Your gut is the gateway to health, and 80% of your immune system is located in your gut. Make sure your gut is in tip-top shape and take a high quality, multi-strain probiotic with at least 25 billion units.

2. Reduce alcohol and refined sugar consumption.
Even moderate alcohol consumption suppresses the central nervous system, and therefore your immune system. Consuming too much sugar can suppress the immune system and make it more difficult for your body to fight off infections like the flu. Alcohol will also cause you to overeat and beat up your hormones causing weight gain!

3. Reduce your stress.
Stress is known to suppress our immune systems. Consider meditation, Tai Chi, or acupuncture for additional relaxation techniques.

4. Get to bed early throughout the shorter days in our year.
Your body relies on sleep to recuperate from daily exposure to toxins. Chronic sleep deprivation can significantly reduce immune function and cause inflammation in the body.

You have one life, live it to its best capacity. Don’t trash it

Paul Chek’s Totem Pole is a model he developed to explain how different body systems are prioritized by the brain and nervous system. It’s essentially a hierarchy showing which survival functions the body will protect first when under stress, injury, or dysfunction.

If dysfunction occurs higher up (e.g., poor breathing mechanics or jaw problems), it can cascade downward and show up as pain or dysfunction in the hips, knees, or feet. Therefore, when assessing pain or movement issues, you can’t just treat the symptom — you need to check higher up the totem pole for root causes.

Let’s get you thinking with a quick game of True or False:

Incorrect breathing mechanics can make you fat T/F
Breathing incorrectly causes neck, shoulder and back pain T/F
Most people hyperventilate T/F
Mouth breathing is a stress response T/F
Your respiration rate is directly related to the stress response T/F
Upper chest breathing can contribute to incontinence and constipation T/F
Poor breathing can change the shape of your face and teeth T/F
Poor breathing goes hand in hand with poor posture T/F

The answers to all of the above are…TRUE.

At Brad Dwyer Holistic Movement & Lifestyle Coaching, the body is treated as a system of systems. It is known whenever something is not working optimally, it is ALWAYS affecting something else.

You breathe at least 26,000 times a day, so it’s safe to say that if you’re breathing mechanics are suffering, you’ll know about some of the symptoms above!

The human body has a hierarchy of “survival reflexes”. How are you breathing?

Do you known how to"Work in" using slow and passive movements to accumulate more energy than it costs to do the movement?This is a thing!•HR doesn't increase •Breathing doesn't elevate•Can do it on a full stomach •Tongue stays moist at all times throughout- the tongue is part of the visceral system-when you start getting to much activity the toughie drys out because the blood is coming out of the core•Use the belly to breathe-2/3 of the breath into the belly, 1/3 of the breathe into the chest•Breathe into your back-thumbs on your sides to see if you feel the increased breatheTime the movement to the breathe, breathing through the nose (parasympathetic stimulation) end of the movement = end of the breathe (bottom) Keep the body as relaxed as possible•Tongue on the top of the roof of the mouth- this helps relax the mind•Let the body relax as much as possibleMaster this and then move onto breathing squats or QiGong style movement meditations that flow, are done without intensity and calm the nervous system down with a more ‘active/passive’ approach for all those people who can’t sit still 🐒🙊
