Just because the holidays are here doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your goals OR your fun - you CAN have both! Here are some tips we've shared with our Street Parking members on how you can approach holiday parties when it comes to all the delicious food.

What if all you had was a pair of dumbbells? Do you have the confidence in knowing that that's all you need in order to take control of your fitness? Join us for Project April where we follow theProgram A (dumbbell version) of the Street Parking Daily Workout for the entire month of April. All you need is a pair of dumbbells.

Every Street Parking workout - whether it’s one of the daily ABC/SHIFT programs or an Extra Program - has key ingredients, and each has a desired stimulus and intent. We want you to learn how to recognize the goal behind the workout - as well as the loading suggestions and goal times/score so that you can effectively choose proper weights, customizations, substitutions, and get the most out of each one.

Too much and even too little stress for long periods of time can be deadly. When we work out, we expose our body and mind to short but high amounts of stress. We increase impact on the bones and joints, we inflict damage on the muscle fibers, we make the heart muscle work harder than it does at rest. 

When it comes to REST we have seen it all. From the outright refusal to take a rest day - usually stemming from a belief that it will slow down progress - to the belief that there should be some complex algorithm built into your smart watch that tells you exactly when to take it easy.

We have established that consistency is crucial for lasting results, but how does proper and consistent REST play into that? And how do you know if you are resting too much, too little, or just the right amount?

There is nothing quite as confusing, frustrating, or overwhelming as trying to figure out which “diet” is right for you. For your goals. Your genetics. Your body type. Food preferences.  Schedule. The list goes on. The fitness industry and/or “diet culture” has done quite a bang up job of making us feel that if only we could find our magic meal plan then we would FINALLY have the results we’ve been searching for, our nutritional “holy grail”.

When IS the right time to add in more workouts – such as adding a Street Parking Extra Program on top of the daily workouts? You need to ask yourself these 2 questions first!

As we dive into a brand New Year - The Street Parking Members will have all of the tools they need to “take control” or “keep control” of their fitness.

Here are the 4 main ways we are keeping ourselves on track, accountable, and having fun this year!

Customizing your workouts to match your chaotic, busy life is the key to finding fitness freedom, and in order to maintain consistency as you take on your daily rhythms, your physical movement plan needs to match your lifestyle.

As the weather warms up and weekend activities get taken outside, it’s time to put down the soup and revamp your recipe book with some fresh, nutritious recipes. Between our Balsamic Peach Chicken Kabobs, Tomato, Cucumber, and Avocado Salad, and Holy Guacamole, you’re sure to have some new favorite Spring and Summer recipes.

Throughout your day, the movements you perform naturally are uneven and unbalanced. One of the best ways to strengthen your body and train it to effectively accomplish those movements is to train with a sandbag. Between it being a fun, functional, and incredibly accessible piece of equipment, it’s a must have item to add to your training kit.

On a daily basis, you need to be eating protein, which is a vital macronutrient that provides the building blocks for so many aspects of your body. But how much are you supposed to be eating? Are you eating too little? Too much? What foods have protein in them? How do you measure it? Let’s tackle this topic and introduce you to some of our best tips and tricks.
