FORGE Performance Physical Therapy

30 Years! I graduated from PT school at UF on May 4, 1996. (Yes, I am old). A lot has changed in that time: when I graduated we used paper charts for all documentation, we had no cell phones or internet really, just looked stuff up in books.

Treatment and training methodologies have changed a lot in that time too and I am grateful to have so many years under my belt, continuing to train and get stronger, honing my clinical skills and finally being able to utilize them fully with our clients at Forge!

To show our gratitude to our awesome clientele, we would like to offer 30% off all of our initial visits for the month of May! Click on our info and give us a call to set up a time (that goes for in person and virtual clients).

How will you show up for yourself and those you love in the years to come?

26.1 is here! …and it’s kinda brutal 😬😅

↗️ Ascending then descending ↘️
Wall balls.
Box jump-overs.
Med ball box step-overs.
12-minute cap.

Let’s be real — most normal humans aren’t finishing this one. And that’s okay. The goal isn’t to sprint to the redline in minute 2 and implode.

👉 Take **planned breaks** — just keep them SHORT.
👉 Be intentional with your breathing — **don’t hold your breath** at the bottom of wall balls or bracing on the box.
👉 Steady, Smooth, Stay alive 🥵

Here’s how to PRIME your body before you attack it:

🔓 **World’s Greatest Stretch** – open up the hips for deep squats + powerful jumps
🔥 **Banded Dead Bugs** – wake up those deep hip flexors that have to stabilize at the bottom of wall balls and the top of every box rep
💪 **Side Plank + Clamshell** – turn on lateral hip muscles so your knees don’t cave when fatigue hits
⚡ **Explosive Squat Jumps** – quick power primer so those first reps feel snappy, not sluggish

This workout will reward control, breathing, and smart pacing way more than reckless intensity.

See you and .star.fitness this weekend. Let’s get after it. 💥
