Question: What are some of the exercises your trainers teach at Specialty Athletic Training that can be replicated at home? 

Answer: We have been getting a lot of questions about exercises that you can do at home with your child. Here is one of our favorite complex movements to do with our clients that you can do using a chair and any ball that you have lying around the house.

Box Squat to Overhead Press

  1.  Start seated with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart and feet flat on the floor.
  2. Holding a medicine ball at chest height, stand and then press the medicine ball overhead.
  3. Lower the medicine ball to chest height and slowly sit back down while maintaining good posture.
  4. Repeat for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Question: Workout music playlists - I've heard they can be very motivating but my music tastes are as my child puts it, "from the dinosaur age.” What current songs are popular with your clients?

Answer: Are you having a hard time staying motivated during your workout? Try adding music to your routine! Music has been shown to increase your mood, attention, and makes working out more enjoyable. Here is a list of some songs that were recommended by our clients.

  1. Flo Ride – Right Round
  2. Weird Al – White and Nerdy
  3. Adele – Hello
  4. Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody
  5. The Eagles – Hotel California
  6. Katy Perry – Roar
  7. Austin Mahone – Till I Find You
  8. Pharrell – Happy
  9. Dwayne Johnson – You’re Welcome
