Traveling with limited food options adds further stress. We won’t dive too deep into the minutia, but over the next several blog posts, we’ll arm you with the knowledge and guidance to make healthy nutrition choices at home and on the road. This post defines the first of two words to help lay the foundation: nutritional density.
Read MoreThere is a nagging misperception that “cardio” is the epitome of measuring fitness and the key to health. However, quality published science (1,2,3) consistently shows that strength training is critical to improving health and longevity. Benefits of strength training include: increased resting metabolic rate, reducing fat, increasing lean body mass, improved balance, improved flexibility, improved cognitive abilities, and, critically, increased bone density. KINETICOACH incorporates resistance training (weights and body-weight) to help you look, feel, and perform better, while improving your health.
Read MoreAbs are like the output of a high-quality stereo—fine tune the dials, and you’ll get a crisp, clear sound. When you dial in the right balance of “Ab” settings, you’ll get leaner, stronger Abs. Exercise is one of several dials you can adjust towards toned abs, and overall fitness.

The supple yet powerful muscles on the inside of your legs are part of the Hip Adductor group. There isn’t just one “groin muscle,” there are 9 that find there way into your sensitive nether regions. Some, like the psoas, extend from your groin all the way to your spine (gross factor of 7, but a really important muscle).
Read MoreWhether for ritual, taste, tradition, or stimulation, coffee is a part of many adults’ lives. As with the majority of foods, literature supports both health benefits and detriments of regular coffee consumption.
Read MoreWhether civilian or military, business or pleasure, every travel experience brings unique challenges to fitness and nutrition. KINETICOACH Co-Creator Brent discusses nutrition lessons from his recent military deployment.
“A military deployment presents several challenges to nutrition and health. Many things can rapidly derail the best fitness routines—many of which we can’t control. Time zone changes, sleep schedules, and available equipment are frequently out of our control. And at first glance, nutrition seems out of our hands too. But after several military deployments, one thing is clear: it’s absolutely possible to eat a healthy diet during even the most difficult travel situations.
Read MoreThe Snatch is one of the two Olympic lifts. Adding the word "Power" to an Olympic lift means that you will not squat during the movement. The Power Snatch demands power, speed, flexibility, and coordination -- and it’s one of our favorite exercises. When added to a conditioning workout, it's a potent test of stamina.

Correct jumping mechanics lead to increased bone density, improved speed and power, and benefit weightlifting and gymnastics. Incorrect jumping mechanics can lead to injury and are often indicative of flawed weightlifting and gymnastics mechanics.

Today, we'll share our personal techniques for food choices in hotels and restaurants. We make some baseline assumptions based on our typical travel routine (and we travel a lot!)
Read MoreIf you're older than 30, this image likely jolted deep memories of your childhood. If you're younger than 30, there was a semi-iconic cheesy movie in the 80s called "Top Gun," and phones had rotary dials that calloused your finger tips...Google it. Going upside down (literally) is something most adults no longer do
Read MorePicking up an object from the ground is one of the most common everyday movements (next to standing and sitting). Use the Wide Stance Deadlift to practice the mechanics for safe lifting & lowering, while strengthening your core (stomach & back), and arms.
