My Fave Exercise

TGUs are my favorite exercise.

I know, my crazy just went up a notch for you.

But here’s why:

It’s a shit load of core stability, shoulder strength and stability, a ton of coordination and an amazing full body exercise. 

It also teaches a practical aspect of life we will ALWAYS need: how to get tf up off the ground. Since I’m all about the practical purposes of working out, I’m for SURE about that.

But I know it’s intimidating because it looks cool and it’s complex af.

I love complex exercises. They suck for sure but they’re super efficient, and when you don’t have a lot of time to workout, efficiency is really key.

Don’t forget: breaking down an exercise into its smaller components will make complex exercises more attainable over time.

Pro Tips: 

✔️ make sure your shoulders are warm before you get into any version of a TGU

✔️ use weighted roll ups and bridges to jump start your muscle memory 

✔️ incorporate lunges and single leg deadlifts into your activation to turn your balance on
