June (and new approach)

Despite the fact that I may be the world's worst blogger, I am setting a goal to record every workout in June. Here goes! I am largely motivated by the fact that I am using myself as a guinea pig to experiment a bit with a training program. I have been doing quite a bit of barre work at Exhale (like Bar Method or Physique 57) but I find it is lacking in a few areas. I am going to use this month to experiment with a building a program that addresses those areas, namely the posterior chain (glutes, hamstrings, back etc.) Looking around the room at Core Fusion I saw quite a bit of rounded shoulder action and under developed glutes (in comparison to quads which are worked heavily during thigh work). It doesn't make sense to me that you spend 10 minutes doing load bearing thigh work but glutes are not addressed with the same focus!
I think that if done with purpose a pretty killer program could be built utilizing Pilates / Barre principles, TRX work, and Kettlebells. Should be fun:-)
