I’m move better now than I did 20 years ago. I didn’t realize that I was just a really good compensator back then. So what’s gotten better? Flexibility, rotation, sequencing to start. These are the foundation for becoming a better athlete. It’s easy to just get strong, but these that I just listed are how you can express that strength. I know many people who are strong, but can run, skip, jump, throw…etc….so what’s the point? Expression is key. If you can’t use what you build in the gym on a regular basis, or on a whim, then, you’ve gotta start asking questions about your training and how you move.

The external obliques get promoted for things like how they help you bend and rotate, but lesser known is how they assist in breathing!Being able to get them stretched can help with all actions of the EO’s and its sling (connections from lats to opposite hip), as well as the much needed exhale!Exhales help give the system a feeling of relief and help the diaphragm ascend and not get stuck in a down position. Try this…get a nice controlled exhale and see what it feels like. Then, try this stretch out and exhale again. I bet it’s longer and the ribs move more. Give it a try and see for yourself.

Checking in for yourself, even if just for a moment can be exactly the kind of routine that can change your entire day. We all have “stuff” on our plate and sometimes juggling it all can become overwhelming if we let it. That’s why I make sure to build these little creative “moments” for myself. The secret is, it’s not just for me….its also for everyone I come in contact with throughout the day, so I can give fully of myself, for them. I came to serve, and I can only do that if I give love to myself, so that love then, get projected outwards. How is it that you give to yourself? If not, maybe it’s time you do. With love ❤️

I use these with some of my clients. Especially, the rotational athletes. However, these can also be great for the non athlete and those who sit all day. If you’re not sure which direction you need to go in (leg in front or back). Just try it, you will soon find out! It will be either hard to bring the opposite leg into position, hold your balance or both!Spend some time in the “weak” points. Either through reps or just holds while you hinge. This is great as a warm up before workouts or even before a walk! No need to go heavy here, light is the way to go. Your walk will certainly feel different after these.

It’s not always about getting out of pain and discomfort. Sometimes, it’s just about total relaxation and stress from the outside world. Tag a friend who you know that might just need that prescription! 😌

Gaining new ranges of motion will also require some strength! It’s not just about the flexibility you gain. By adding full body tension and ranges you’ve never strengthened before, will fire and make the brain and nervous system to pay attention to “what’s required” to get the job done. In this case, is trying to hold my leg higher than I can through just lifting off the table. You can also add a variety of angles to this and it not only works with your legs, but arms and even the torso itself! So, explore, build up some tension in some unexplored areas and watch how you increase your flexibility in not time!!

The pelvis can be complicated, but knowing movement and how a client does their actions and routines will help determine the best course of action. Here. This dancer flexes her leg quite a bit, shortening the front side and when she goes into extension (the leg behind her), she compensates through the lumbar instead of the hip first (or in combination). Giving her some extension now, then having her do some drills with proper extension and in her case, external rotation as well, will help her move better and articulate her lower half better as well.

Most people just do seated adduction to hit the adductor group (muscles on the inside of your thighs). I like to hit them with a little athletic flare and some rate of force production at the same time. I also get to hit them in both concentric and eccentric phases. So it’s a different intention when I pull away from the band, than it is when I’m coming back in. When I’m going away from the band, that’s the concentric part, actively pulling my body across against the bands pressure. During the eccentric phase, I’m trying to fight it from bringing me back in. You’ll find both of these actions in sports, but also in life!! Mainly because these often neglected muscles are key stabilizers for the pelvis. Don’t take my word for it, try these and see how your walk feels after. Mine felt strong, stable and smooth!

The instinct to stretch something that’s tight is natural, but not always necessary or beneficial. Here, an issue that is recurring, can be put to rest with the proper strength protocol. Once she’s able to strengthen in the rolling pattern, we’ll progress to tougher variations that she can handle and in turn, move better with new ranges and less pain!This is what I’ve found in many dancers, where the focus is so much on flexibility. If we’re able to add in adequate strength in certain ranges, new levels of mobility and control will be reached.

Stretching out the core is something most have never done. We always want to strengthen the core, but rarely do we want to stretch it out. Using a small yoga ball, foam roller, heck, I’ve even used a football! The pressure into the ball will stretch the core out. The added “pulling” back with your arms, stretches them even more! Now, if you add the bending of your legs and even cross them, you’ll get a full effect from both ends and a great abdominal stretch. The new blood flow and released pressure will have you feeling lighter and I’ve noticed even better gait when walking! Try this one out and let me know how light you feel!!

We tend to carry imbalances throughout our bodies. Some may be significant and others, not so much. It’s when tissues start causing pain, stiffness and/or lack of movement, when it becomes problematic. So when someone presents with pain. I look globally, through the entire body to find the restrictions that may be at the source of pain. With this approach, we take the system and see where’s it’s lacking glide and proper movement and look to correct it quickly and with intention. The result is typically, better quality movement, diminished or dissipated pain, and answers, to where there weren’t any.
