Posture is how we hold our body and position ourselves whether sitting, standing, exercising, lying down, etc.  Good posture means that all parts of the body are correctly aligned, allowing muscles and joints to work properly and achieve neuromuscular efficiency.  Unfortunately, our daily lives can take a toll on our bodies.  Repetitive actions (such as sitting at the computer) or a sedentary lifestyle may lead to muscle imbalances that cause posture problems.  Muscles are imbalanced when certain muscles are overused or shortened while others are weak or lengthened.  These patterns of muscle imbalance lead to altered biomechanics of the body.  That means that body is not moving in the way it is meant to move.  The result is that the joints endure more stress with activity and this may lead to joint pain and injury.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6782332.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Indo Board Workout of the Month</title><category>Core Training</category><category>Indo Board</category><category>Jon Ham</category><category>TRX</category><category>TRX training</category><category>balance training</category><category>core training</category><category>indo board atomic pushup</category><category>trx</category><category>trx circuit</category><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 17 Feb 2010 19:13:16 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/2/17/indo-board-workout-of-the-month.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">330759:3593516:6726816</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's a tough exercise circuit you can do with your Indo Board, a Pullup Bar, TRX, and either a body bar or dumbbells.]]></description><enclosure url="http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/storage/Indo Board Workout of The Month - Jon Ham Podcast.mp4" type="application/octet-stream" length="18838615"/><wfw:commentRss>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6726816.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Why Exercise Variation is Important</title><category>Core Training</category><category>TRX training</category><category>balance training</category><category>trx</category><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 16 Feb 2010 18:34:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/2/16/why-exercise-variation-is-important.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">330759:3593516:6712550</guid><description><![CDATA[Exercise variation is important in every aspect of your fitness program.  In both your aerobic/cardiovascular workouts, as well as your strength training workouts, you need to change up what you are doing in the gym in order to get the results you want.  There are many reasons why exercise variation is important, but first, it is important to define exercise variation.  And since our current workout series focuses on strength training, we are going to define what exercise variation means in terms of your strength workout.   Exercise variation in strength training means you are mixing up the types of exercises you do, changing the amount of weight you use, mixing up the repetitions you perform, choosing different sequences of workouts, etc.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6712550.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Chocolate, Almond Butter, GREEN Smoothie!</title><category>Healthy cooking</category><category>Jon Ham</category><category>Plant-Based Nutrition</category><category>antioxidants</category><category>chocolate almond butter smoothie</category><category>green smoothie</category><category>health food</category><category>hhealthy smoothie</category><category>julieanna hever</category><category>low calorie meal,</category><category>nutrition</category><category>plant-based lifestyle</category><category>smoothie</category><dc:creator>Jon Ham</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:11:18 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.fitnesstrainingbyjon.com/blog/2010/2/15/chocolate-almond-butter-green-smoothie.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">330759:3593516:6698634</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's one that will wake you up in the morning or you can have for dessert at night!
