Posterior Chain Training: Exercises for a Strong Lower Back

When we neglect the posterior chain, our lower back suffers. It bears the brunt of the work. Its primary role is to resist motion, to provide stability as the rest of the body moves, to be a lever. But when the hips aren’t moving and the posterior chain isn’t engaged, the lower back must move—for which it is ill suited.

Can’t engage your glutes to hold up your torso? Your lower back will cover for them. Easy way to develop an overuse injury.

Easy Keto Ice Cream Bon Bons

Bon bons sound so fancy, don’t they? It’s like saying “ice cream bites,” but with a French accent and a posh flair. Here’s a secret: they’re easy. Go ahead. Show off a little.

Ingredients

• 3 oz. coconut butter
• 2 oz. cacao butter
• 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
• 1.5 scoops Primal Kitchen Chai Tea Collagen Keto Latte Drink Mix
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 (or more) pints Keto Pint Ice Cream (Coffee or Sea Salt Caramel)

Directions

Finely chop the cacao butter. Melt the cacao butter and coconut butter in a double boiler. Just before it's melted, whisk in the coconut oil until the mixture is uniform. Add the collagen powder and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. Set the mixture aside.

Arrange single scoops of ice cream on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Scoop out the ice cream and place each scoop on a sheet pan with a piece of parchment on it. Harden in the freezer for 45 minutes. Spoon the white chocolate mixture to cover the ice cream twice. Allow to harden in the freezer again. Dust with Primal Kitchen Chai Tea Collagen Keto Latte Drink Mix and enjoy!
