Improve your energy! Rather than a cup of coffee or an energy drink, step away from what you are doing and take two focused minutes to slowly inhale and exhale through your nose, feeling the energy return to your body. Repeat as needed.

The stepout pattern is great for building glute strength, hip stability, balance, and more. If you are concerned about balance during this exercise, you can put your butt or hands against the wall.

Maintain optimal spine alignment. Hinge or move through the hip joint to reach down.

Avoid bending through your spine.

Train reach patterns in a range of motion that you can control through your hip joints. Avoid repetitions of compensation. This leads to tighter muscles and wear and tear on the joints.

The rotator cuff muscles take a lot of extra wear and tear when the joint is not in optimal alignment. Returning the joint to optimal alignment and maintaining it requires improving the stabilizing function of the rotator cuff muscles. Too often, the larger muscles, such as the latissimus dorsi, can contribute to muscle imbalances around the shoulder joint, making it more difficult for the smaller rotator cuff muscles to do their job.

If this is you, reach out. We can help.

Self-care does not have to be indulgent. Self-care is taking care of your body, mind, and soul. Go for a walk or spend time with a friend who feeds your soul.

It is time...push away from the desk. Take two minutes to slowly and gently inhale and exhale through your nose.

Two minutes is all it can take to shift the energy in your brain and body.

The hip hinge is a great exercise to improve hip range of motion, making movement like squats easier. The modifications, either hands to the wall or hips to the wall, can be great if you have concerns about balance.

During the cable row, the pulling movement occurs at the elbows and shoulders. The trunk or rib cage stays centered over the hips and pelvis.

Avoid leaning back. Also note the foot position. If you have decreased hip mobility (hip flexion), place your feet lower on the pads to avoid flexing your lower spine.
