Hayden Block
My name is Hayden Block and I am currently working in corporate wellness helping large corporations improve health and wellness within their employees promoting an all around healthy lifestyle. I specialize in corrective exercise and functional training and believe that exercise should be directly related with day to day movements helping improve overall quality of life. With the a majority of the American population being classified as overweight, obese and unhealthy, I strive to make people healthier. I believe that it's important to not only develop healthy habits, but to truly understand the benefits of fitness. I have been active since I was a child and fitness and health is something that has always come natural to me and I want to help others establish a strong connection with health and wellness. I believe that fitness is just one component of living a healthy and happy life and I strive to educate people on how to exercise safely and effectively. Reaching health and fitness goals is a lifelong process and I am driven to take the journey with those who are willing to improve all aspects of life.

Down to the CORE
Difficulty: Advanced
Muscle Group(s): Full Body
Days per week: 3
Program length: 8 weeks
This routine is meant to build a strong, stabilized and effective core. It consists of a combination of exercises geared towards re-educating the core on how to effectively stabilize itself, isometric endurance exercises as well as dynamic stabilization exercises causing the core to stabilize while the body is going through motion. A main component of this routine is learning on how to brace the core to help build a strong foundation when going through larger full body motions. In addition to training the abdominal area this routine emphasizes strengthening the hip complex as well as the shoulder and chest region to build the strongest core possible.

Massive Arms
Difficulty: Intermediate
Muscle Group(s): Full Body
Days per week: 3
Program length: 4 weeks
This program is designed to help build larger and stronger arms. This program doesn't focus just on the arm muscle groups, like the biceps and triceps, like some traditional arm builder programs do, but incorporates larger compound movements where the arms are used as secondary groups. The arms are built to support the elbow and more importantly the shoulder complex. With that being said this program focuses on large movements while exhausting the biceps and triceps to help build larger, stronger and more efficient arms. Whats the point of strong arms if you don't have strong shoulder, chest and back muscles to support them!
