Meet LAVA's PowerHouse Sammi Burns

One could say I was born to be a personal trainer. Due to my upbringing I fell in love with fitness and health as a child. I am originally from Akron, Ohio. However, Hilton Head is my home. My family moved to Hilton Head in 2005. As a very activite family we took advantage of the Island’s perfect weather by spending time outside enjoying all sports. While in high school, I was a swimmer and played lacrosse, soccer and basketball. I continue to play lacrosse at the collegiate level for 4 years while earning a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training / Health at Erskine College in South Carolina.

How to fix lower back pain - The low back fix

For those of you who have never experienced it, I hope you never do. But for those of us who have been through the torment of experiencing lower back pain, we know that it can be as frustrating as it is excruciating.

It’s important to note that the sciatic nerve exhibits anatomic variability, which is just a fancy way of saying that it can either pass over or under the piriformis; it varies from person to person. However, ....

Thanksgiving Calories Don’t Count, Right? If you think you are pretty conscious about the amount of food you put on your plate every year at your Great Aunt Bonnie’s house, think again… According to Consumer Reports, the average american consumes more than 4,500 calories at their Thanksgiving meal. WHAT?! I am 100% guilty for overindulging at Thanksgiving. It is incredibly difficult to pass up my grandmother’s homemade pumpkin pie that I get to enjoy only once a year. But if you are like me, I tend to eat appetizers before dinner and dessert afterwards… Confession time - I even go back for seconds about 3 hours later, after my nap of course. ....

When Was the Last Time You Had a Decent Stretch Session?

Stretching as well as warming up the body and cooling it down is extremely important to a workout. We need flexibility in the muscle and range of motion in the joints to keep our bodies healthy. Tight muscles can make you more prone to injury and limit you during your exercises. Important tips: - Stretching helps with range of motion in your joints by keeping the muscles healthy, flexible, and strong. - Without stretching pre and post workout, your muscles become short and stiff which will limit ROM and cause your muscles to weaken. - Dynamic stretching should be done BEFORE a workout to warm up the muscles and increase blood flow, and static stretches should be done AFTER a workout to ....
