🎉Movement Monday🎉

We got a quick and easy one today!

✨ Side-Lying Hip Raises✨

If you couldn’t tell we’ve had a big theme of glute activation the past couple weeks and this one is no different!

🤓We like this one a lot because it works the glutes in abduction which is in the frontal (lean side to side) plane. A lot of people try to activate the glutes only in what’s called the Sagittal plane (swing leg forward and back in flexion and extension) which makes the body strong in only 1 of the 3 planes of motion. This is important because in everyday life we move in complex patterns so we should be training in complex patterns as well!

💪🏻Combine this one with our past month of posts and you’ll bulletproof those glutes and protect yourself from low back pain and lower extremity injuries

Let us know how you like this one and if you have any questions!

💪🏻Movement Monday 💪🏻

🏃🏼‍♂️ We got a great one today for our runners, walkers, and weekend warriors alike!

This superset exercise is great for Glute stability and is one of our progressions for single leg balance and Glute activation during activities!

💥Exercise 1- Glute extension: Targets gluteus Maximus in hip extension and it’s important that the back remains flat throughout this whole motion! Try to think of balancing water on your low back 🥛

💥Exercise 2 with lacrosse ball- Donkey Kicks: Also targets Gluteus Maximus with co-activation of the hamstrings!

💥Exercise 3 with lacrosse ball- Fire Hydrant: Targets Gluteus Medius and Minimus on both the stable leg and moving leg

🧠 why is this important?!🧠

There is a strong correlation to low back pain and poor Glute control especially due to the lifestyles we live sitting down for hours on end watching Netflix, Working at a desk, or eating meals! In addition many running and walking injuries in the lower extremity stem from poor Glute stability, especially in single leg standing, so working on these hip stabilizer muscles many times will fix the root of the problem in the foot, ankle, and knee! 🦵🏻🦶🏻

Let’s get up and get active and fire up those Glutes 💪🏻🔥

Let us know if you have any questions and how you like this exercise!

💥Movement Monday💥 We’re back with another

💥Movement Monday💥

We’re back with another one of our favorites for hip mobility! 💪🏻

The hip 90-90 exercise is a great one because we can knock out 2 birds with 1 stone as it acts as a front stretch of the hip in external rotation and activation of the back hip in internal rotation 🤓

This is a super important exercise for people who sit at a desk for long periods at a time because we lose elasticity in the hip joint capsule when we don’t move around a lot throughout the day so this exercise counteracts this process because we take the hip joint to its end range of motion in both external and internal rotation and then try to activate those important hip stabilizers! 🧠

It’s not uncommon to have difficulty lifting the foot up to the sky the first couple times, but if you keep working at it everyday it’ll get easier and easier! 💪🏻

Let us know how you like this one and if you have any questions!

Happy Labor Day! 🏞 We got one of our favorites

Happy Labor Day! 🏞

We got one of our favorites today!

🎉Movement Monday🎉

This is a great one if you ever have tightness in your shoulder reaching up for anything overhead or feel tightness in the neck or upper trap area! 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

With this exercise we’re teaching the shoulder blade (scapula) to glide upwards on the rib cage to reach for things over your head! The biggest emphasis should be maintaining downward pressure on the scapula so we get the scapular upward rotation from the Lower Traps and Serratus Anterior instead of the Upper Traps and Levator Scapulae muscles🤓

This is also a great exercise for our overhead athletes who have pinching or pain in the shoulder during their throwing motion 💪🏻

A lot of injuries in these kinds of athletes are due to the shoulder blade not moving properly on a the rib cage which requires compensation patterns down the arm that result in avoidable injuries‼️

Try this one out and let us know how it goes or if you have any questions!

INTRODUCING… 🎉Throwback Thursday🎉 Starti

INTRODUCING…

🎉Throwback Thursday🎉

Starting today we’ll be throwing it back every Thursday to our favorite #MovementMonday and #WashingtonWednesday posts

It’s that time of the week, let’s start it out strong getting some movement in 💪🏻

This week we’re talking lower body disassociation! This is an important movement in everyday life especially if you partake in any activities that require rotating your body.

Rotational athletes (looking at you golfers and throwers 👀) generate power by being able to disassociate the lower half from the upper half of the body to create a rubber band effect of energy transfer into the ball ⚡️

If you’re feeling really motivated combine this exercise with our previous disassociation post to get that full rubber band effect in your swing or throw! 💪🏻

Give this one a try and let us know how you like it!
