Electrolytes & Exercise: The Key to Better Performance and Recovery

When you sweat, you don’t just lose water — you lose vital electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride. These minerals work together to maintain fluid balance, support muscle function, and keep your heart working efficiently.

During intense or prolonged exercise — especially in the heat — low electrolytes can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and even reduced muscle blood flow. That means slower recovery and decreased performance.

To stay hydrated and energized:

Drink beverages that contain carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water before, during, and after exercise.

Try options like 1stPhorm Hydration Sticks, LMNT, or TruWild — or make your own mix with coconut water, lemon juice, and sea salt.

Stay consistent with your hydration strategy — your muscles, brain, and performance will thank you.

Shoulder Stability Drills :
Train your shoulders to stabilize, not just strengthen.

1️⃣ Corkscrew from Tabletop – Root through your hand, spiral your arm into external rotation, and feel your scapula connect to your ribcage.
2️⃣ Shoulder Tap (Corkscrew Base) – Maintain that integration as you shift weight and challenge anti-rotation stability.
3️⃣ Beast Hold – Engage your core, lats, and breath. Think of “breathing into” your shoulder blades for deeper stability.
4️⃣ Beast Shoulder Tap – Combine it all — breath, control, and dynamic scapular stabilization.

💡 Focus on:
• Inhaling to expand the ribcage and create space
• Exhaling to connect the shoulder, core, and breath
• Moving with control, integration, and awareness

Your shoulder stability starts from the ground up — through breath, core, and connection. 🫁💪

The lateral lunge is one of the most powerful mobility exercises to open up your hips, adductors, and ankles—and it’s an essential part of moving well in all planes of motion, not just forward and backward.

🔹 How to Do It:
1. Start standing tall with your feet hip-width apart.
2. Step out to the side, keeping your toes pointed forward.
3. Shift your weight into the stepping leg as you sit your hips back, keeping the opposite leg straight.
4. Push through the heel to return to standing.

You’ll feel a deep stretch through your inner thigh, while also loading your glutes, quads, and core for stability.

🔹 Variation: Add External Rotation
At the end range of your lateral lunge—when your hips are back and your opposite leg is straight—lift your toes toward the ceiling to bring your foot into external rotation.

👉 This adds an incredible dynamic stretch to your adductors, hamstrings, and deep hip rotators, improving your hip mobility and pelvic control.

💡 Why It Matters:
✅ Improves lateral hip stability
✅ Opens the inner thigh and groin
✅ Enhances athletic performance and gait mechanics
✅ Promotes pelvic balance and lymphatic flow

Try 6–8 reps per side as part of your warm-up or mobility flow!

Your shoulder joint has a small pouch in the bottom part, and it’s crucial for smooth motion.

When that pouch tightens or shrinks, your arm can’t glide correctly. That’s when you start losing range of motion. Reaching up, out, or behind your back becomes difficult and painful.

Knowing why you’re losing motion helps guide the right recovery plan.

👉 Please text 302-635-9220 to let us know what pain you’ve been experiencing, and we’ll reach out to schedule.
