We love breath work-

This one specifically to gain access to the back of the rib cage and assist in restoring the ability to bring the breath into the back.

If we can’t access a full 360 degree breath; breathing into the sides & back as well as the lower and upper rib cage, the tendency will be to compensate by sub optimal movement through exercise.

Think rib flare/back arching, inability to manage pressure (pelvic floor issues, bracing)

I also find this position great to create space thought the spine, improving flexion. It feels soooooo good.

As with all corrective strategies this is only a temporary fix and needs to be continued over a long period of time and used in conjunction with other strategies in order to create lasting results

Bag squat jumps/lateral step downs

Working on uneven/unstable surfaces gives us the added challenges to

-balance
-stability
-coordination
-proprioception

And depending on exercise selection - agility

Coordination
Balance
Impact work for bone density

There’s so much to like about plyometrics and it’s so important to incorporate it into your training.

Coordination, power, fast twitch movement, bone health, joint stability, tissue elasticity, muscular endurance and strength and heart health if they are high intensity.

These are all things that decline as we age unless we train to prevent it.

Oh and did I mention it’s fun too 😉

The back extension with plate press is an advanced move challenging the core spinae erector and multifidious.

Actively pushing into the wall also activates the glutes really working on creating a strong core that is so beneficial for day to day function and importantly can help alleviate lower back pain.

Clearly this is not for the beginner exerciser. This exercise needs to be earned by the client.

As much as I love dynamic movement, there is definitely a place for this often times overlooked static hold.

The reverse plank is challenging for a multitude of reasons.

Theres a place for all modalities of exercise. It’s all about program design and of course, your goals.

Sometimes simple works better than some circus tricks we see on instagram designed to grab your attention.
