Oh the hip flexors! One of the most abused groups of muscles. Often blamed for being tight from the everyday desk worker to the avid runner. But they do so much more than just get tight.

The hip flexor muscle group help bring your knee up to your chest during walking/running, provide stability to your pelvis and help control forces through your lower back.

With all these pivotal rolls it’s important to load and strengthen these muscles to feel your best and move your best!

Above you’ll see an example of 4 exercises you can add to your weekly routine to build stronger hips!

If you’d like help getting back to exercise or you are tired of your hip hurting messaged his “HIPS” and let’s talk.

Most people walk around with their heads resting out in front of their body. This leads to poor to almost no use of your smaller neck flexor muscles and over use of your bigger neck muscles such as your Sternocleidomastoid (SCM), Scalenes, and upper trapezius muscles.

Your SCM runs from the back of your skull to your collar bones and can be a common cause of neck pain, trigger points and can cause a muscular referral for Tinnitus!

Give this stretch a try. 1-2 rounds of 30 seconds to a minute long holds on each side and find that relief you’ve been searching for!

Did you know that one of the reason your overhead presses, or your squats are suffering is because your thoracic spine is stiff?

Our society is built to put us in a rounded posture for the majority of the day. As such, many of us often lose the mobility to fully extend through our spine.

In the gym if we cant extend you may feel like you struggle to keep your chest up while squatting. When you go to press overhead you may feel pain in the front of your shoulder or even in the lower back as you try to compensate around this lack of mobility!

Try this warm up in the gym for your next workout. Grab a medicine or plyoball and hold it tight to your chest. Prop your heels up on a ledge or plate and sit into a squat. Gently rotate between rounding your torso and extending up to the ceiling. Perform 1-2 minutes!

Last night I had the misfortune of straining my calf muscle. So today I’m struggling to put any stretch to that area and walking with a limp.

I know that after an injury you want to get good blood flow through the tissues to try and restore mobility and function as much as possible while letting pain guide me. This may take a few weeks to settle down but I want to be proactive in my recovery!

So I’m doing a 12 minute EMOM workout to address these areas. Every minute rotating exercises.
Minute 1: Echo bike
Minute 2: Calf Stretch
Minute 3: Double Heel Raise
Minute 4: Air squat
Repeat 3 times

This is also a great way to show everyone how much you compensate with your hips and torso in a squat when you can’t flex your ankle!

The plan is to run through this daily and progress as tolerated!

If you lack the ability to internally rotate your hips you lose some efficiency and support from the surrounds muscles. Specifically you limit your adductors and smaller support muscles.

Hip switches with an end range lift off is a great way to start opening up your hips and improve alignment and mobility into your knees and ankles.

Try this out at home or before your next workout. Perform for 1-2 minutes or 10 repetitions per side!

Exercise is beneficial during pregnancy, contrary to outdated advice that recommends rest. Recent research shows that appropriate exercise can reduce complications like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and back pain, while improving postpartum recovery.

Pregnancy is an amazing event and should not be treated as an illness, and instead focus should be on finding the right movements performed with intention rather than limiting activity.
