ANCORE Weekly - July 16, 2020

Hello and welcome! At ANCORE Health & Fitness we believe that no matter what life throws at you, there's always a way to become stronger. This mission doesn’t stop at our products, however. It encompasses everything we do including our weekly newsletter. With that, we’d like to introduce you to our new newsletter format.

We have a podcast. The CORECAST features interviews with trainers and athletes from all walks of life. We dive deep into athletic performance and different training philosophies to find out what makes those at the top of their game stronger. Last week, we interviewed soft tissue therapist, ELDOA Trainer, and conditioning specialist Dee Tidwell. This week, we’re talking to St. Lawrence University pitcher Patrick Greenan.
