Tami lifts weights because she wants to be able to say yes in life.

She just became a grandma this year — her first grandkid 💕 — and she wants to be able to keep up, travel, and be included.

She wants to be active and healthy and capable, for life.

THAT is why we lift weights.

And it’s never too late to start ‼️

HYROX is everywhere right now and so is HYROX knee pain.

Running. Sleds. Wall balls. Lunges. Broad jumps. Your knees are working overtime.

But before you go blaming HYROX it's not the sport that's the problem. It's the gap between what you're asking your knees to do and what they're currently prepared to handle.

The 3 most common knee issues we see in HYROX athletes:

Patellofemoral pain - achy, nagging pain around or behind the kneecap. Gets worse with wall balls, lunges, stairs, and running

Patellar tendinopathy - localized pain above or below the kneecap. Feels okay when you get moving but WORSE the day after heavy training

IT band pain tight, localized pain on the outside of the knee, especially with running, turns, and hills. (Foam rolling doesn't fix this one, sorry)

And here's where most people go wrong:

Pushing through and hoping it goes away - it won't

Stopping completely and waiting it out the problem is still there when you return

We worked with Malina who had a race on the calendar and knee pain that got worse with every run. We restructured her training, addressed what was actually causing it, and a month later she competed at HYROX DC without pain.

Part 1 of a 2-part series this week covers what's causing it. Next week we get into the fix.

There’s no such thing as a “bad movement”

There’s only movements your body is prepared for

And movements your body is NOT prepared for

That doesn’t mean that form doesn’t matter at all, it’s just not the sole deciding factor in injuries.

There isn’t a forbidden fruit of movement - preparation is what matters the MOST.

When we avoid movements and positions out of fear of “bad form,” we ironically actually become more susceptible to getting injured with them, because the more we avoid, the less capable we become.

What movement do you avoid because you were taught that it’s “bad?”

When Gina came in, she hadn’t run in over 10 years because of hip and back pain.

She had surgery 13 years ago and the doctors made it sound like she’d never be able to run again.

She decided that wasn’t good enough for her.

Now, she’s working out, doing pilates at , lifting weights, and is back to running for the first time in years, making progress every single day

We’re working on continuing to build up her hip and back strength and increase her mileage and confidence with running and she is CRUSHING it!

Such a an amazing transformation — we are so proud of you Gina and so thankful you walked in our doors a few months ago!

Let’s keep it going 🚀

One of my patients is training for her first half marathon.

Every run was on her calendar.

She was still missing almost all of them.

When we looked at her schedule together, the problem was obvious she'd scheduled her long run for Friday at 5PM (after a demanding work week) and her aerobic run for Sunday at 6AM (when she travels most weekends).

It wasn't that she was lazy. She'd set herself up to fail by putting her "priorities" in the leftover time slots.

Here's the thing about your schedule: it doesn't lie. It shows your actual priorities.

So if your workouts keep getting skipped, the question isn't "how do I get more motivated?"

It's "when do I actually have the energy and space for this - based on the life I'm living right now?"

The 4-step fix:

Put workouts on your calendar FIRST - not in the leftover slots

Schedule them during times that are realistic for your actual life

Plan ahead for travel weeks and move sessions before the week starts

Reflect regularly did you actually do it? If not, adjust the time

We moved her long run to Sunday morning and her weekday runs to Tuesday and Thursday before work. She started hitting her training consistently.

Also ask yourself: are you in a maintenance season or a growth season right now? Because those require completely different approaches.

It’s ELLIOT’S BIRTHDAYYYY ‼️🎂🎈

If you know Elliot, you know he pours so much time and energy into his work, his patients, and our team.

Elliot cares deeply about what he does. He gives his time selflessly and steps in wherever he can to help.

Team, friends, patients — if you see him around the gym today, make sure to tell him happy birthday!!!

Elliot, we can’t imagine Made 2 Move without you.

We know you’re not big into birthdays, but we hope it’s a great one!!

Happy birthday 🫶🏼

Lexi thought she’d never be able to back squat again without pain after her knee injury.

A couple months later, she proved herself completely wrong (and she’s still going!!)

Lexi has made SO much progress - more to come 👀

And NO, I’m not talking about a “high pain tolerance”

One of my patients with chronic back pain was confused his back was always hurting and his pain was getting worse, even though he could deadlift heavy weight

I explained that while he may have had the physical capacity to do it, but he didn’t have the tolerance

Him having pain meant that he was over reaching and doing something his body wasn’t fully okay with - even if he “could” lift it

The problem was that pushing through that all the time made his alarm system even more sensitive

that’s because there’s 2 limits we have to pay attention to when we’re rehabbing injuries or trying to improve chronic pain - capacity versus tolerance

What we did INSTEAD of pushing through or completely avoided pain: we moved through “tolerable discomfort”

How we defined that:

- Less than a 3-4/10
- Feels more like discomfort/awareness rather than PAIN
- Didn’t worry or distract him
- Returned to baseline quickly

That’s the window where desensitization happens

& that’s what allowed him to get back to deadlifting heavy WITHOUT pain ‼️
