Quick movement mini-check for athletes and active Denver locals — three cues you can watch today. 👟📋
1) Posture: Are shoulders rounded? Upper back and neck constantly tight? Cue: Pull shoulder blades gently down and back while breathing through your nose, lengthen through the crown of the head and the chin slightly tucking back. Try 2 sets of 30s wall slides with hands slightly above your head with a small band around forearms and foam roller against the wall to reinforce.
2) Hip hinge: Knees doing all the work? Cue: Send hips back, keep a soft bend in the knees. Practice 3 sets of 8 slow Romanian deadlifts with light weight or bodyweight.
3) Gait: Excessive heel strike or limping? Cue: Step quietly, land under the hip, aim for a midfoot strike and a quick, springy toe-off. Do 2–3 short strides focusing on cadence.
