The broomstick challenge 🧹
Looks easy.
Exposes mobility.
Mid & lower back, hips, and shoulders tell the story.
Often more comfortable for women due to mobility differences.
How would you go?

15/12/2025

Your feet control your squat 🦶
Tripod foot = stronger, more stable, better knee tracking.
Heel = more glutes
Forefoot = more quads
Check your feet before blaming your knees 👣

Not all lunges hit the same muscles 👇
• Short stride → more knee bend → quad dominant
• Long stride → more hip bend → glute/hamstring dominant
• Forward lunge → deceleration = quads
• Reverse lunge → hip drop back = glutes
Choose the variation that matches your goal, injury history, or what feels strongest for you 💪

Standing Single-Leg Hamstring Stretch (Loaded Variation)

A great way to open up the hamstrings even more than the previous stretch.
Using a kettlebell or dumbbells helps you stay balanced and deepen the stretch without rounding your back.

Great before training, after training, or as part of your mobility work 🔥

Standing single-leg hamstring stretch 🦵
Small changes in your standing leg position change which part of the hamstring you feel — because the hamstrings are made up of three different muscles.
Keep your back straight and hinge from the hips to get the most out of it.

Hip Airplanes = next-level hip control. 🛩️
A single-leg hinge + hip rotation drill that forces your glutes, rotators, and core to steer, not just push. Great for balance, injury prevention and strength.

👉 Try 3–5 controlled reps per side. Use support if you need it. Focus on rotating open → closed with a stable torso and brace through your core.

Use this in your warm-up, prehab, or strength days.

Acute injury? Here’s what to do ⤵️

R.I.C.E.R
✅ Rest
✅ Ice
✅ Compression
✅ Elevation
✅ Referral

P.O.L.I.C.E (modern approach)
✅ Protection
✅ Optimal Loading — not total rest
✅ Ice
✅ Compression
✅ Elevation

The goal isn’t to stop moving — it’s to move smart.
Protect → control swelling → load gradually → return stronger 💪

Save this for your next sprain or strain 👇

Hip stability drill you should be doing 👇

The kneeling hip lock trains:
✅ Hip stability
✅ Glute activation
✅ Pelvic control
✅ Balance + coordination
✅ Great prep for running, squatting, sprinting, cutting & change of direction

Reps: 5–8 each side, slow tempo
Quality > quantity 💪

Movement isn’t just strength — it’s control.

Save & tag someone who needs stronger hips 🦵👇

Sore or tight after training?
Here’s the rule 👇

🟢 Dull ache = move
🔴 Sharp pain = modify load

Move through soreness.
Adjust through pain.

Movement heals — at the right dose.

A simple flow to improve hip mobility, spinal control, and overall movement quality — all from one position.

✅ Improves hip and thoracic mobility
✅ Builds control through end range
✅ Great pre-training or recovery flow

🎥 Save this for your next mobility session.

Just nod and smile, just nod and smile 😬
