This exercise is called the Supine pull-up with TRX.

Several muscles, mainly the scapular retractors, are being worked during this exercise. Therefore, muscles like the Rhomboids, Latissimus Dorsi and Trapezius (Middle and lower) are the key muscles.

Apart from our back, this exercise also helps strengthen our core muscles, in order to maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.

This exercise helps build stability on our upper back and shoulders, which is beneficial in regards to maintaining an upright posture and keeping our shoulders healthy. It also allows us to correctly engage our core muscles, which is key for all sorts of exercises to aid in preventing lower back pain.

Supine double leg stretch with adductor squeeze (featuring a Mini-Maya)

Making sure your back is flat on the ground, squeezing the ball between your knees, breathe out and slowly extend (stretch) toes towards the wall without tilting the hips.

This exercise is great for working on core control with a gentle adductor squeeze to strengthen inner thighs and promote hip/knee alignment throughout.

The TRX pike challenges the strength of the shoulders and abdominals.

The shoulders must work to stabilise the torso and support the weight of the body, as the lower abdominals activate to lift the hips into the air and maintain a neutral spine.

When performing this exercise it is important to ensure that the neck is maintained in a neutral position, looking towards the belly button as the hips pike upwards.

This exercise is called Standing Scapular Protraction & Retraction while holding bar overhead

Several muscles are being worked during this exercise. For the scapular protraction, the Serratus Anterior will be the main muscle. As for the scapular retraction, muscles like the Rhomboids, Latissimus Dorsi and Trapezius (middle and lower) are the key muscles.

This exercise helps build stability in your upper back and shoulders, which is beneficial in maintaining an upright posture and keeping the shoulders healthy.

In order to get the technique correct first, we can start this exercise with our feet on the ground before progressing into an isometric pull up as the starting position instead of standing. This makes it a bit more challenging, as you will have to engage more upper back and grip strength, in order to maintain stability throughout the exercise.

Kneeling side leg pump with opposite arm overhead press on the reformer.

Pushing away from the footbar using glutes with assistance from adductors, the opposite oblique + quads helps maintain stability during shoulder overhead presses.

Bonus: changing the springs can shake things up! Lighter springs are more core/stability work, whilst heavier springs mean more leg work!

Book opener windmill

Begin in a half-kneeling position and with the arm closest to the wall perform a windmill by opening up the shoulder toward the hip that is flexed. With the opposite arm raised at shoulder height, rotate the torso until the arm is pointing directly behind, keeping the hips as square as possible.

The primary muscles used in this movement are the traps and serratus, which work to increase shoulder and thoracic mobility.

Add this exercise into your sessions to help reduce pain, improve posture and assist with daily activities.

Men’s Health Week, taking place from Monday 9th June - Sunday 15th June 2025, run by the Australian Men's Health Forum, is all about encouraging the men in our lives to check in, move more, and prioritise their health!

Here are some of the reasons as to why movement matters:
- Reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes
- Improves posture, joint health and bone strength
- Boosts testosterone and metabolism
- Supports mental wellbeing – lowers stress, anxiety and depression
- Improves sleep, energy and confidence
- Build mobility and muscle strength as we age
- And let’s not forget: your mental health matters too!

If you’re feeling low, stressed or burnt out, talking to a friend or family, your GP or a professional is a sign of strength – not weakness.
