23.01.2022 Struggling for motivation to exercise during these current times?? - Check out this vid by @exercisehabits and comment down below your hot tip for staying active! - TAG a friend that needs to MOVE MORE ... - Reposted from @exercisehabits Watch this video for my tip to trick your brain to start working out! How to exercise when you dont feel like it? Its all about taking b-a-b-y steps. Tell yourself Im gonna put on my gym clothes today. instead of I am going to the gym today. Psyching yourself to do something easily achieved is the secret to building the motivation and drive to accomplish your (BIGGER) end goal! This is an example of the snowball effect, a process that starts from an initial state of small significance that builds upon itself. - If you feel like starting is your biggest issue then start small. Youll most likely continue once youve started. Exercise is one thing, setting the right foundations is another. See more

22.01.2022 Stiff back? No? Thats fair, just thought Id ask - But for reals, do these exercises if youre starting to develop some stiffness or tension in your upper back and if you dont have any, just do them anyway because itll be good character building for you - These 5 exercises target the main movements of the thoracic (mid-upper) spine: rotation , extension , flexion , lateral flexion and include a self-release technique with the roller as well . All you need f...or these are a foam roller and a wall. If you dont have a roller, now might be a good time to invest in one! - Perform 3 rounds of 5 reps for each of the mobility drills, and roll up and down your upper back muscles for 2-3mins each side. - Please like, comment & tag a friend that sits for work or who needs a more mobile back!! - Struggling with your own rehab process or in developing a workout suited to you?

22.01.2022 Very impressive split squat jumps by @linnealiftslifeup. Very explosive!! Dont blink or you might miss it

20.01.2022 Want to get more explosive? Try this warm up drill . Reposted from @nooch_13 . Posture & Position! This is an excellent drill to add into your athletes warmups to get them to develop explosive movements throughout the central nervous system and a excellent way to develop quality ground striking. From a postural standpoint the PVC Pipe being pressed overhead is a great way to help test full body stability and awareness

18.01.2022 When your hamstring goals is that of a 10 year olds . This is so impressive! . TAG a friend who needs to work on their hamstrings strength! ... . Reposted from @pjfperformance Hes 10 . My nephew Elijah lives with me and watches every one of my sessions. After each session he tries the exercises that he learned. I told him he cant touch weights until he passes all my bodyweight stages... then last night he came through with a full set of nordics with no hands. Something 90+ % of NBA players cant do . Normally we wouldnt encourage the concentric portion (way up) to keep it a supramax eccentric, but he just wanted to show off how strong he is getting. Proud of my guy! See more

17.01.2022 DO NOT warm up your shoulders like this . If you see anyone on zoom, FaceTime, hangouts, group hang doing the first exercise, aka the gym bro rotator cuff warm up, please tell them to stop ! . There are 2 reasons why this RC exercise has absolutely zero benefit for your rotator cuff (RC):... . 1 LINE OF FORCE: A targeted muscle group has to work AGAINST gravity for the exercise to benefit it. With this exercise, the RC is simply working ACROSS gravity. The amount of strain placed on the RC is minimal, and will actually target your elbow flexors (Biceps, Brachialis and Brachioradialis) more than anything. So who knows, maybe people do it to work their biceps? . 2 We dont press/pull with our elbows solely by our waist, so our warm ups also shouldnt solely reflect this. Perform your RC exercises at shoulder height as well as seen in the vid, or even better if they are dynamic through various ranges of motion. . Since most of us probably wont have access to a cable machine, all you need to do is sub in some therabands or light power bands and you are set to go .

17.01.2022 BIOTENSEGRITY [FASCIA ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY] reposted from @stefanduell . What a cool example of biotensegrity and how fascia works in our body. Thanks to @cat_shanti for this amazing video! ... The old way to explain fascia: Thin layer around a muscle, the white we see on a piece of meat. Goes in line with the old idea of a divided body, where fascia is what separates different parts and layers from each other. The updated explanation of fascia: Fascia is ONE system, without beginning and end that maintains interconnection, communication and interaction between different parts of the body. Our body, everything in our body, consists of cells and the substance outside our cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM). A tissue is a group of cells with similar tasks (muscle tissue, bone tissue) and they are all encapsulated by the ECM. (@Robert.Schleip, @Carla.Stecco, @Fascial_Manipulation_Official, Langevin) The fascial system is unique and continuous, it is responsible for the communication and interaction of all body parts. In other words, a stimulus in a given location of the body will have influence throughout the whole body system. Shoulder pain for example can be a response to a stimulus not necessarily generated in the shoulder, since everything is connected. Due to biotensegrity, forces are distributed, spaces are maintained and changes in tension in one place have repercussions throughout the whole body. The fascial tissue that surrounds us from head to toe, creating and distributing tensions, is responsible for maintaining our structure in a stable way through the game of tension and compression. The word tensegrity is coming from tension and integrity. When we apply this concept to human beings, the correct term is biotensegrity. Whenever we want to treat a body region, we must pay attention to all these internal connections so that the goal and the perfect outcome could be achieved.

Reposted from @rehabscience A great image from a 2011 study (cited below) that demonstrates the power exercise has on preserving muscle mass as we age. - In these axial MRI views of the thigh (imagine cutting the thigh in half and looking at a cross-section), we can see the increased degree of adipose/fat and muscle atrophy in the sedentary man as compared to that of the triathlete of similar age. - Pretty convincing evidence to maintain a regular exercise program throughout your lifespan!

11.01.2022 Is this bad for your knees, joints etc? Contrary to popular belief the human body is capable of amazing things IF you put in the effort to developing it. Rome wasn't built in a day. . This requires a structured and progressive program which delivers specific loading to the body in increments where it can adapt and build. Not too much that it causes injury, and not too little that it has no effect. That's the difference in enlisting the help of trained professionals as oppose ...to following generic programs on social media . Reposted from @pjfperformance Please don’t try this! 10 years ago my ankles and knees wouldn’t have been able to handle a drop height like this. It’s incredible how adaptable the human body is. Don’t run from stress. Learn how to gradually and progressively overload in training until you can handle the stress. My joints are healthier in my 30’s then they ever were in my teens and 20’s. Go build. See more

08.01.2022 Calf Strengthening! - Calf injuries can be extremely frustrating to rehab. Generally, what Ive found is that most rehab programs can be quite monotonous & BORING, as well as lack sufficient basic > intermediate > sport specific progressions. As a result, this often results in non-compliance issues! - A couple of helpful tips that Ive learned over the years is... 1 Have a healthy arsenal of calf rehab exercises so that you can rotate through them while still targeting them progressively 2 Combine them with other exercises to kill 2 birds with 1 stone - Hopefully this video gives you some fresh ideas on how to rehab.

03.01.2022 Deadbug Core Training! . The deadbug exercise is a great drill for improving your intra-abdominal pressure/trunk stability, particularly of your anterior chain. . It can also help improve coordination of your upper and lower limbs, whilst maintaining neutral spine (if done correctly of course).... . Couple tips: 1 Only stretch out your legs as far as you can maintain light pressure of your lower back to the mat. Otherwise, do heel taps (last vid) 2 For the Swiss ball exercises, squeeze the ball as hard as you can... you should feel your abdomen light up . Caution: if you currently have low back pain then these exercise may not be right for you, make sure you consult a revelant exercise professional first before trying! .

03.01.2022 Damnnn, 3 in one exercise! Working bottom side lateral chain, top side median chain with added shoulder stability!

This one is new to my routine but Im loving it.

03.01.2022 Throw back to some old school IH.... Maybe water jug raises are the way to go nowadays . Deltoid Lateral Raises, a better way! . Here is a better way to target the lateral deltoid for strength and hypertrophy. Instead of the classic dumbbell (or water jug) lateral raise, which is often done with rubbish technique (we see you! ), try a pulley lateral raise.... . Here is why: . When using a pulley, the force of resistance is much more consistent throughout the arc of the movement. This variation is easier on your shoulder joints, while the increased relative time under tension allows you to still hammer those delts for max strength and hypertrophy . BONUS TIP: Rotating your thumb up to the ceiling towards the top of the movement externally rotates your shoulder, putting it in a safer position whilst overhead. This is opposed to the common gym bro tip of raising up the DBs with your pinkies to get max lateral delt engagement , which actually increases the risk of shoulder ijury, such as impingement . Give this variation a try if you havent already and let us know what you think! - #regrann See more

03.01.2022 Shoulder stability!! - Do you feel like your shoulders are unstable? - You are not alone! Many people describe their shoulders as feeling loose or making noises such as clicks/clunks! In reality it is less likely you have a true shoulder instability, but more a lack of localised strength and support of the shoulder joint and its surrounding structures.... - These exercises are more focused to gym goers performing pressing movements and are designed to improve overall shoulder health - You can use these exercises as a warm up before shoulder exercises or as stand alone exercises on a day off. - Disclaimer: Not to be performed if currently experiencing shoulder pain - Get these exercises a go!

02.01.2022 LOWER TRAPS TRAINING - What do you think of this exercise? . The plate trap raise is one of the best exercises for training the lower traps. Think of the lower traps as the anti-upper traps. The upper traps shrug the shoulders up, the lower un-shrug them. The upper traps respond best to high tension...the lower respond best to focused tension. Thats where the plate raise comes in. Grab a plate and keep the flat side facing straight ahead. Lift the arms up overhead slowly. Control every inch of the lift and keep your shoulder blades stable and tight to your back (no winging). Lower under control and repeat. No skipping this important back muscle that all too often gets lumped in with the upper traps. They shouldnt. They deserve individual attention. So give it! Reposted from @athleanx

01.01.2022 Suspension Trainer Lower Body Workout Own a suspension trainer?? Dont know what to do with it? If so, check out this workout! Here are two different ways of performing it, depending on your goals:... Firstly, if your goal is to maintain strength and stress your muscles in order to elicit any sort of adaptation/gains then try performing each exercise on its own, focusing on the eccentric (downwards) phase of the movement. Perform 3x12-15 each side (when applicable), 3 sec down, 1 sec pause, 2 sec up. Secondly, if your goal is to raise your intensity and improve your stamina/endurance then perform all 4 leg exercises as a circuit, performing 10 reps each side back-to-back with minimal rest in between. Start with skater jumps > cossack squats > bulgarian SSs > bridges. Rest 2 mins, repeat 3-5 times. For the climbers and pikes, perform 4 reps of each movement 3 times. Then rest. Repeat x3 Over time, progress by adding either more reps, sets/rounds or time under tension Dont forget to SAVE, SHARE & STORY your attempts! & TAG a mate with a suspension trainer who should try this!
