With the Bendigo Ford Fun Run just around the corner, we wanted to show you a little circuit that works well for strength training for runners. Here you see Courtney completing 4 exercises: Single leg bridge, Single leg squat, single leg calf raise and step up with high knee drive. Complete these slowly and with control, with 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. Don’t forget to work both sides! #physiotherapy #running #strengthtraining
Do you ever feel stiff through your middle back? Try these two mobility exercises! The first is called "Thread the Needle". On your hands and knees, reach one arm behind the other, whilst bending your elbow and trying to reach your ear to the floor. Slowly return to the start position, and then reach your arm up towards the ceiling, stretching in the opposite direction. Complete 6 repetitions each side, gently and comfortably. The second exercise is called "Bow & Arrow". Lying on one side, keep your knees together and reach both arms forward straight in front of you. Reach the top arm back and try and get your shoulder to the ground on the opposite side. Repeat 6 times each side, gently and comfortably.
Do you know how the people in your world are really going?

The soleus muscle makes up part of our calf and it does all of the heavy lifting when we go for a run! However, strengthening the soleus muscle is something we often neglect. Swipe across to see an example of a soleus exercise that you can implement into your routine.

Working from home can be tough! We don't always have the perfect office set-up at home, but there are a few tips and tricks that can help us out when in this situation.
Make sure to set yourself up in a space that is warm, with adequate lighting.
Sit in a chair with your feet on the ground, keeping your forearms resting on your desk/table, and your eyes level with top of your screen.

The devastation of the countries current fires is hard to comprehend. Many of us feel helpless that we can't physically help in stopping these terrible fires, but we can actually make a difference, by donating money to the CFA and supporting the people who actually are protecting lives, houses and communities.
Today our children Hadley and Lainey decided to donate their pocket money savings to the CFA.
Tomorrow we will be donating our entire days profit to the CFA.
The support and compassion of people so far has been admirable. Big or small, every little bit helps.
