Stop making this lunge mistake!
✅ Verticalize your lunges for more muscle building! Use a doorway or a pole to help you check! Our bodies will always choose the easiest option, so without knowing it, you may be rotating your pelvis or hiking your hip when you do your lunges. There’s nothing wrong with that necessarily but a) it means you’re missing out on the areas that need work the most and b) these exact patterns tend to show up when you walk and THAT can be why your hips/low back/SIJ hurts (to be clear, this isn’t always the case, but it sure is for me and many of my students!) Here’s what to do next…learn how to self assess your lunge so you can make your lunges more effective and improve your walking technique! Check out the link to a free Lunge Makeover video!🔗✨

Movement essential for humans who sit in chairs too much ⤵️
Our hips often feel ’tight’ when really our hip muscles are weak and underused. I’m not saying you should never stretch, but because mobility exercises help you use and strengthen your muscles at their end ranges, they can be a real game changer for stiff, aching hips. Here I’m showing one of my favourite hip mobility options from @movnat - the best part is you’re also getting great loads for your core, ribcage & shoulders here too (and it feels amazing) - do 3-5 each side, 1-3x, slowly, as a movement break or a warm up. So nice! Share this with your friend who’s always looking for a new hip stretch - and be sure to subscribe to my movement newsletter for more essential mobility & movement tips to help your whole body feel better & work better! 😘🔗

Cat-cow is more than just moving your spine up and down in big chunks!
It’s about moving every single joint in your spine. And that’s because we tend to move our spines from just a few joints and miss the rest of them - especially when we go fast (watch my mid back!) And THAT means that our spines can miss out from the full benefits of a cat-cow. Not to mention our core and pelvic floor (because spinal mobility is a pre-requisite for optimal core & pelvic floor strength & function). If you’re looking to dive deep into spine, core & pelvic floor healing, that’s what I’m here for! My Pelvic Floor+ program is packed with essential spinal mobility & core exercises to nurture your long term health - check out the link 🔗✨
