22.01.2022 Back Pain when standing for long periods Try these 3 advanced progressions Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info These 3 exercises are progressions from a previous post (back pain when standing), check that out and master those movements before attempting these. After youve mastered these, your abs will be bulletproof, not just all show. These exercises are developed to target your straight and oblique abdominals. It also challenges your coordination and proprioception. The goal of these exercise is anti-extension, so the low back must be glued to the floor, no lifting up. If you are unable to maintain composer, refer back and master the previous video Do 2-3 sets of 1-2 minutes of controlled repetitions. Dont worry about how many reps you can do, focus on control and quality. Do this daily to maximize results. Why should I do this - Help for low back pain - Strengthen abdominal/oblique muscles - Train the nervous system and muscles to better control and prevent falling into back extension when standing. Train Better.

21.01.2022 Avoid this classic mistake. Try these combinations. Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info I had visited my first commercial gym in years over the weekend and this seemed to be the most common stretch performed. Unfortunately, it was done wrong and is often performed incorrectly with runners who make the mistake of pulling their knee too far back which in turn over arches the back. We want to stabilize the back and tilt your pelvis backwards by engaging the abdominals/glutes and keeping the knee still. This will now involve the hip flexor and combine it to your quad stretch. Do not overdo it. This is also a great stretch for #desklife. Why should I train this - Stretch form on point - Increase hip mobility - Prevent knee pain when squatting (you should be squatting) Train Smart. Live Younger www.hamilton-fitness.com

21.01.2022 Experiencing pain in the front or outside of the shoulder Try this exercise... Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info Shoulder impingement pain is now becoming a very common problem due to #desklife that was once just a injury that was common among athletes. This is mostly due to poor posture which then causes muscle imbalances, in this case the rotator cuffs. It often doesnt trigger until someone begins an exercise program that often requires pressing movements and is a common reason why people stop training. As a side note, if you are already experiencing these symptoms and unable to raise your arm above shoulder height, its probably time to see your local osteo/physio. Combine this with some upper back mobility (see previous posts), you should notice a decrease in pain straight away, so do it consistently. If not, or it has been getting worse over a period of time, again I recommend seeing an osteo/physio. Why should I do this Restore strength and coordination in the shoulder region Increase overhead rom. Youll thank me in 10 years when your shoulders are not f**ked! Train Better.

20.01.2022 Being a coach that trains majority women, the physical, emotional, and mental health benefits lifting weights can bring a woman in particular is through the roof. For those who may have been on the fence whether to lift weights or not, or who have heard reasons as to why women shouldn’t lift weights, I am here to clear all of that up for you.

18.01.2022 Stiff Back? Sore Hips? Follow for more content Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info ... Start Your Day Right! Heres a morning routine to start your day right! 1.Cat/Cow 2.T-spine Rotation 3. Pulsing Groin Stretch 4. Hamstring to Hip Flexor Stretch 1. The Thoracic spine plays a huge role in keeping the shoulders and Lumbar spine working properly and pain free. The movement helps keep the back limber and promotes good posture. 2. This movement helps loosen up your muscles and any tightness you have in your upper body. 3. Inner thighs and groin area could probably use a little more love since they are neglected a lot. 4. This helps lengthen the muscles that tighten up from extended periods of sitting. The hip flexors at the front of the hip and the hamstrings at the back of the thigh. No excuses! Set your alarm 5 minutes earlier! When stretching & working on mobility remember not to force the movement! Keep it fun and enjoyable! No pain allowed! Train Better.

12.01.2022 Stiff shoulders? Try this combination! Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info 1. This stretch opens up the chest and anterior shoulder as the pecs play a big role in shoulder tightness you want to open them up first. 2. This stretch lengthens through the triceps and lats, also great for Thoracic extension (you need this). 3. Similar to the last but adds rotation and for some stretches the hamstrings. Stiff shoulders are annoying! It limits your function and may predispose you to some form of pain or discomfort anywhere from the neck down to the elbow or wrist. Good shoulder mobility is rather important if youre engaging in any kind of gym routine or sports that requires any pressing or overhead movement. Here are three exercises for you to try and share!

05.01.2022 Think your hips are in good condition? I forgot about these thinking my hip mobility was good until I tried them again. Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info This drill for you (and me) is already starting to help a problem I didnt know I had. I hadn't used this drill for some time and until I attempted this again, I didnt realize that my hip rotation was as good as I wanted it to be and with all the squatting I do was starting to affect my hips. I bet if you sit all day, even cycle or run often (you probably dont squat as much) you might find this the same. Use this drill as a test and if you dont pass with flying colours, use the tips to start working on it until you see and maintain some good progress. Train Better.

05.01.2022 Upper Back Stiffness? Need more mobility in the upper back? Try this combination! Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info With this exercise trio, you are undoing the damage thats being caused by long periods of sitting at the desk. If you are suffering from neck/shoulder pain, it likely stems from poor Thoracic mobility. The first exercise helps improve rotation which often becomes restricted while seated for long periods of time. The second helps with extension as we are often hunched often over the computer even at a standing desk. With the third exercise the movement through the arms helps you guide extension through the upper back. The shoulders and upper back have a intimate relationship, so using your arms is recommended if you want to improve mobility. Remember these exercises will not work if you dont do it regularly. 5 minutes daily and youll increase mobility through the upper back and reduce stiffness and pain in the upper back, neck and shoulders. Just do it. No excuses. www.hamilton-fitness.com #results #carlton #hamiltonfitness #shoulderpain #backpain #weightloss #goals #neckpain #rehab #motivation #fit #fitness #strong #fitnessbody #fitjourney #fitnessgoal #life #smile

04.01.2022 Back Pain when standing for long periods Try these 3 progressions Follow for more content... Tag a friend who needs this Comment or DM for more info The standing desk isnt perfect as it has its own problems if one cant stand properly. During my time as a clinical pilates practitioner, these exercises were my go-to when people complained about back pain when standing. Often a roll down (bending forward as if to touch the toes) would give temporary relief, but without strengthening those deep abdominals, no amount of . Here are 3 exercise progressions in order that you must commit to help resolve the issue. This is part 1, so stayed tuned for the next level of progressions in the future. Do 2-3 sets of 1-2 minutes of controlled repetitions. Dont worry about how many reps you can do, focus on control and quality. Do this daily to maximize results. Why should I do this? 1Help for low back pain 2Strengthen lower abdominal muscles 3Train the nervous system and muscles to better control and prevent falling into back extension when standing.

01.01.2022 If you have been suffering from chronic pain, what would it be like to not have that pain anymore? How would you describe it? www.hamilton-fitness.com

01.01.2022 Good Morning Everyone, I hope we are all keeping a positive mindset during this drama and respecting the new laws and social responsibility. While every other gym/PT/Pilates studio is panicking, at Hamilton Fitness it is business as usual, albeit online. We have been preparing for this unfortunate situation for almost a month now and all members are continuing with their high-quality training programs at home, still under our supervision.... If you have found your studio has left you wanting or offered you a do at home program that was written up in 5 minutes, or even worse charging a small fee for something that has no accountability or coaching, then DM your interest to myself for more information if you would like to continue training and be part of a strong, positive community. Be proactive, be positive and take advantage of this time you now have available. Yours in Strength, Kane Hamilton
