At MFS we pride ourselves on delivering quality instruction that focuses on form, technique, & execution thoughout all movements, class-to-class, and in each program we offer indoors and out! Sometimes no matter how strong, athletic, or skilled you are, you might not be able to execute a technical lift, land a strike, or invert yourself into a handstand properly because you lack the flexibility and range of motion required to create certain body positions. For example, tight hips will make a deep back squat very difficult; tight shoulders will make handstand pushups & overheads squats seem 10x harder than they should be, and tight hamstrings will make a high side-kick on the heavy-bag an impossibility.
Performance enhancement and proper skill development are 2 benefits to stretching that only scratch the surface. We're happy to now offer stretching classes that focus on performance as well as help you check-off a long list of benefits to stretching regularly:
I'd be willing to bet somewhere along the line you've told yourself "man I should really stretch more often". Maybe after a race you dropped-in on a whim you felt some post-race soreness for up to a week! Well come by our stretch class and learn how to use a foam roller, hit over 30 different static stretching positions, and meet some really cool people! When else will you sit down and dedicate 30-60 mins to just stretching for yourself?? We have all the space and equipment needed for you to just drop in.

We have all heard it at some time or another, "eat clean." Then we researh, and research, and read then we go to our kitchens, look in the refrigerator and say, "what the heck am I going to eat for breakfast?" No one wants to eat raw broccoli at 6 AM, and who in the world actually has time to cook a whole meal?...said everyone with a busy schedule!
The trainers at Mobile Fitness Systems understand the lifestyles of real people. We understand the frustration you may feel when we tell you to eat clean and you don't know what that means. So, I wanted to take some time today and explain that eating clean and eating fast is possible. We know not everyone wakes up in time cook. Those of you that do...keep it up! However, for the rest of us that can't, there is still hope.
We believe in simple, real, organic, whole food based nutrition choices. Let's talk strategy first. Creating a plan is vital to your nutrition success. In order to be successful your plan should begin at the local grocery store. The biggest rule of thumb to keep in mind - shop on the perimeter of the store, hunting and gathering the modern way! Anything that was once living or in the ground and has a color should go into your body. Having a food prep day is also a good idea to plan your morning meals, for instance a Sunday evening before the work week begins. Take an hour to prepare breakfast for the week or at least a few days. This week's breakfast idea comes from PaleOMG.com. Protein Pumkin Pie Chia Pudding. It's wicked easy, good for you, and you will actually like it! (http://paleomg.com/protein-pumpkin-pie-chia-pudding).
Be on the lookout for the next "Nutrition Tip" posting where we will get in to the nuts and seeds of eating clean snacks!
