ELEVATE YOUR fitness

If you’re a typical Oxygen reader, you probably exercise regularly. You try to eat clean. You enjoy moving your body and being a healthy human on the planet. But do you ever feel like something’s missing? That even though you are diligent about feeding your body the right food and giving it the right amount of activity, you’re still sort of missing the mark?

Like they say, where the mind goes the body will follow, and frankly, if you truly want to improve your outward person, your journey starts inside your head. Likely, this is the irksome puzzle piece missing from your training — the one that fell behind the couch years ago and that has been gathering dust bunnies as confidants ever since.

This year’s Oxygen 6 Challenge coaches Jen Esquer and Nikki Snow are here to help — to reach under the couch, dust offthat missing piece and finally help you complete your puzzle. And even though they are dramatically different in background, demeanor and technique, Snow and Esquer are united in their view of mental capacity and the power of positive thinking as it relates to success in both your physical and emotional person. Because really, one can’t exist without the other, and when both are strong, there’s almost nothing you can’t accomplish.

“It is easy to feel lesser than and doubtful, and to live in the future hoping for results and happiness,” Snow says. “How many times have you reached a goal yet something is still missing? This is where we turn that thought process on its head and focus on mindset coaching to celebrate the present and move toward the future by setting mindful transformation goals.”

THE POWER CLEAN (Discover this dirty little secret for better functional fitness.)

OLYMPIC LIFTS ARE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR IMPROVING STRENGTH and athletic performance — and as a side bonus, they also help develop crazy-good muscle shape, size, and definition. In fact, one could argue that the power-clean portion of the clean-and-jerk is the best exercise ever devised. “The clean is a functional movement used [routinely] in everyday activities,” says Aaron Viscounte, CSCS, head coach and manager at Summer’s Fitness Inc. in North Canton, Ohio. “We use aspects of the clean to pick up a box and put it on a shelf, move furniture or even go grocery shopping.” During a power clean, the barbell travels from the floor to the “racked” position at shoulder level and back down again. We tapped some elite trainers for their step-by-step expert advice on making the most of every rep.
