Control. Strength. Stability.

DOOM ROOM

This session pushed me, especially with my naturally limited flexibility. I’ve picked up a few restrictions in my right hip, while the left side remains stronger and more mobile. The goal now is correcting those imbalances and improving overall hip function.

The Routine 🔥

1️⃣ Abduction Hold → Reps
20–30s hold straight into 12–15 reps. Drop the band and hit another 12–15.

2️⃣ 90/90 Stretch
30–40s each side + 8–10 controlled internal rotations.

3️⃣ Hip Rotations
10 slow circles each way. Soft knee, steady pelvis, move from the hip.

Strong hips + proactive glutes reduce load on the lower back — another reason this work matters.

Really enjoyed testing out the new gym.
Fresh kit, fresh look, same BoFit energy.

The beauty of being able to train from both gyms — Normanton and Outwood.
Nice to mix it up while Picky has his urgent surgery booked for late December.

Schedule’s the same: Castleford Mon & Sat, Outwood Tues–Fri.

💥 WHY SCIATICA HITS HARDER IN WINTER 💥
Cold weather tightens muscles, slows circulation, and keeps you sitting more — all adding pressure on the sciatic nerve.

🧠 The Science:
Cold temps make nerves more sensitive, muscles tighten to conserve heat, and blood flow drops — reducing oxygen around the lower back and glutes. Add less movement, and it’s the perfect storm for irritation.

🔥 Fix it:
Keep warm, stay mobile, stretch daily, and book regular massage to boost circulation & keep things loose.

Train Hard, Recover Smart 💪

⚡️3 Simple Ways to Ease Lower Back Pain ⚡️

1️⃣ Foam Roll & Massage Gun
Work through your glutes, hamstrings and lower back with controlled, steady movements. It helps release tension, boost blood flow and prep your body for movement.

2️⃣ Stretch & Activate
Don’t just stretch — wake the muscles up too. Glute bridges, bird-dogs and band walks switch on the areas that protect your lower back.

3️⃣ Strengthen Your Core
A solid core supports your spine. Add planks, dead-bugs and controlled lifts into your routine. A strong core takes pressure off your lower back. Add planks, bird-dogs and glute work into your routine.
