❤️ Ditch the straight and narrow

Many of you are Flobody OGs and joined our email list years ago. Most of you know how we started and personally own a Flobody Gym. We love following your journey and seeing your results in the Flobody Circle on-demand - seriously, the best.

If you don't own a Flobody Gym, now is the best time. Here’s why:

We launched pre-orders last night, and they are flying off the internet shelves🙏🏽It's likely because of the pretty cool perks we are offering. Check them out here.

As you've seen in some of these newsletters, resistance training is key 🔑 to your health and we have an awesome on-the-go solution for that. This pre-order is super limited, so make sure to jump in now if you are on the fence.

If you already have a gym, aren't interested anymore (whaaat), or are not ready to pull the trig, that's cool… on to your regularly scheduled program (the newsletter).

Happy High Noon (EST). The most common goals are exercising more, eating healthier, and losing weight. Roughly 70 percent fail. Keeping wellness top-of-mind helps a ton - that's why we are here ✉️ (plus free workouts on Tuesdays & Thursdays).

Today’s Topics:

• Ditch the Straight and Narrow: Level up with multi-plane moves

• Did You Know: Toe wiggle day is coming.

WOW Things:

There is a lot going on in the world of wellness (WOW) and it’s impossible to keep up. We searched the internet for interesting things and our favorites of the day.

Ditch the Straight and Narrow: Level Up with Multi-Plane Moves!

Do most of your workouts only focus on one direction (not the band)? Like doing squats over and over again?

Instead of sticking to just one plane of motion, let's mix it up.

We're talking side-to-side, up and down, twisting and turning.

You grab your groceries from the floor and lift. You twist and turn to read a sign and move in different directions. If we don't mimic this during our workouts, we're at risk for muscle imbalances.

Which can lead to injury. We don’t want that. Here are the 3 planes we should be working on:

1. Sagittal Plane: Splits your body into left and right halves. Think of walking, lunges, or bicep curls.

2. Frontal Plane: Splits your body from front to back. Think jumping jacks, lateral lunges, and side planks.

3. Transverse Plane: Splits your body from top to bottom. Think of Russian twists, swinging a bat, or looking over your shoulder.

By using a multi-plane approach we:

• Improve joint mobility and flexibility

• Prevent injuries

• Increase functional strength

• Enhance coordination

• Balance muscle development

Using resistance bands can be a great way to add this to your routine. Especially if you're new to it.

The tension from the bands helps you move through a safe range of motion. Preventing you from overextending your joints.

So break free from your single-plane workouts and get the benefits of moving in different directions.
