If there is one an area of the body that I receive a stack of questions about it is the hip and the glutes. Even people I work personally with each week in the gym this can be a challenging set of muscles to improve their strength and function. For such a massive group of muscles it can be amazingly lazy and frustrating to work with when it comes to strengthening exercises. Some of the exercises that work tremendously well with one person, either do nothing or create harm in the next person. A classic example of this is with piriformis syndrome or SIJ dysfunction where the weakness in the glutes is the main source of the pain. If you choose the wrong exercise, or do too much too soon, you will risk creating more pain as the glutes switch off and compensatory muscles take over. In this article, I am going to share with you a detailed analysis of 15 exercises explaining exactly the purpose of the exercise and who it is best to. I will also provide a video explanation of exercise so you can implement this in your training straight away.
Strength Training For Sports – Explosive Speed Is All About Learning To BRAKE!
Anyone playing sports at a high level will appreciate the value a strength and conditioning program can provide and understand that training for the sport alone will not yield great results. Devoting too much time to strength and conditioning, at the expense of practicing skills in the sport itself is also a recipe for disaster, and there has been many potential athletes ruin their career from being too good in the gym. There must be a balance between all these variables, as there is only so much time that can be given to training, and more is not better. There is a fine line between over training that is counterproductive and exposes the athlete to injury or illness. Any strength program given to an athlete is to complement the bulk of their training which is built around the skills of the sport. This means that there is only a very small window of opportunity to give the athlete the type of training that will greatly enhance their athletic potential. And for almost any athlete in ball sports, the need to become explosively fast and also remain injury free would be at the top of the list of what they want their strength program to provide. In this article, we will show you that the best exercises and methods we use in our Sports Program for doing this are, and why many athletes may not be getting the most out of their training program.
Before You Try Intermittent Fasting Make Sure You Read This First!
Intermittent Fasting is currently one of the world’s most popular trends in the health and fitness industry, and it can provide some astounding results. As much as it is important to focus on “what you eat”, this is an example of getting “when you eat” right for your body. If you are using this with the intention of improving your overall health and vitality by simplifying your nutrition and lifestyle you will see great results. However, if you see this eating method as a quick way lose weight you will be bitterly disappointed and over the long term create more problems. We asked our trainer Mel to write this article as she has been using Intermittent Fasting since April 2019 and has seen great results with her energy and vitality. I like to think of this not as a diet, or a way to reduce calories, but as a more structured eating pattern that gives me more control over my nutritional requirements for optimal energy and health. In this article I am going to share with the critical things you MUST know if you want to make this eating method a success and the secrets to being able to sustain this for good.
Why Exercise Is VITAL For Our Mental Health
There is tons of information about the physical benefits provided from exercise, but what is not fully explained and understood is the benefits of exercise to our mental health. It is fair to say we are becoming more aware of the need to address mental health problems, and several institutes like Beyond Blue and the Black Dog institute do a fantastic job of educating the community to better understand how to treat these serious conditions. It has long been known that physical activity helps with depression but even as countless number of studies and evidence supports this, there is inconsistency into what type of exercise is best, and how much is enough? These are some of the questions we explored in this article and the results were very surprising.
Why Chin Ups Are The Most Powerful Exercise To Build Muscle & Core Strength
Core Strength Training requires a great integration with lower body and upper body and possibly the best exercise for achieving this would be the CHIN UP! Many of the people we see when they first start training lack a considerable amount of upper body strength. And women find chin ups significantly more difficult than men. Funnily enough, this exercise is their most hated when they start, but becomes their favourite when they become good at it! Unfortunately, many people don’t persist to learn good technique and build the strength to be able to lift your body which often leads to injuries and lack of ability, as many common movements such as lifting a box require strong upper body muscles. Just because pull-ups and chin-ups are hard, it doesn’t mean women can’t do them! In fact, you should be able to lift your own body with your arms. In nature, this sort of movement is very basic and in fact a matter of survival. A good example of this is it mimics the movement, strength and skill used with climbing!
Why I Love Using The Serratus Anterior Wall Slides Drill
I must admit when I first saw the serratus anterior wall slides I thought it was a complete waste of time and would do absolutely nothing to help me with my shoulder injury. After a few mediocre attempts at trying it I stopped and went back to what I was doing before. However, as the months went by and my shoulder continued to worsen with many different methods I began researching what the experts in shoulder rehabilitation were using. And I continually found that the Serratus Anterior Wall Slides was a common exercise drill used by several highly respected practitioners. Upon investigating this further I found this was an exercise founded by movement function pioneer Shirley Sahrmann in her book “Movement Impairment Syndromes”. I realized I needed to open my mind to this and decided to spend the time to really understand the purpose of this exercise and how to apply it correctly and see if it could help me. And within weeks I saw huge improvement which led me to finding the long term solution to my injury. This article I will explain what I learned and how it changed my approach to shoulders forever.
Why Lack Of Thoracic Mobility Is The Hidden Cause Of Chronic Pain
The numbers of people suffering from chronic back pain and neck pain due to extensive work at a computer or hovering over a mobile device is increasing rapidly. In today’s modern world more people are becoming sedentary, spending at least 10–15 hrs a day at work, in the car, at school, and home in a position of bad posture, that results in stiff hips and stiff thoracic spine. Stiffness in these two joints is a disaster to our joints as we need both of these areas to provide great mobility, in particular with rotation as used in walking. Lack of mobility at these two areas creates problems for joints above and below as the body searches for alternative methods to move. We have been so conditioned to react to injuries by using pain relief methods, as opposed to looking at WHY you got the problem in the first place. The thoracic region is so unique in that it really can create problems all throughout the body but it will not suffer with any pain, and go completely undetected with most treatments. In this article, I am going to explain exactly what happens when you lose thoracic mobility, what causes it, and what you can do to get it back.
How Much Protein Do You Need For A Healthy Body?
In many previous articles about injury or loss of strength with older adults I have discussed the importance of using strength training for building muscle and strengthening bones to not only improve joint stability, but to prevent the onset of osteoporosis. While this is an absolute must it is never going to work well if you do not eat a balanced diet that has the required levels of protein to ensure the muscles can repair and grow. I think most people are aware of the need to eat quality protein to build muscle however, like most things you can have too much of a good thing and over-eat it causing other serious health problems. You must eat the right balance of protein, carbs, and fats to maintain a healthy body but the big question remains, how much protein is enough? There is no definitive answer to this as it all depends on the needs of each person. The more active you are, and the more you weigh, the more you are going to need. Also not all protein is equal as some foods have a higher protein quality than others so you need to keep this in mind when trying to work out how much you need. In this article we will take a close look at all of the various factors you need to consider giving you a better understanding of how much protein to eat in your diet.
How to Correctly Brace Your Core To Protect Your Spine From Injury
One of the most difficult things for many people to understand when they first come to see me for help is how to brace the core. We have all heard the saying, “set your core”, or “keep your tummy tight” but what does that really mean? To make it even more confusing, there is a multitude of different instructions and cues that are regularly used leaving people unsure of what they are meant to do. It is vital that you know how to correctly set your core muscles, for they can be the difference between good performance and injury. In this article, I will explain exactly how to do this correctly so you can implement this in your training immediately.
Exercise Solutions For Weak Feet Creating Lower Limb Injuries
Our ability to walk, run and jump is all initiated by our feet. But it is not just walking or running, it is for any movement you do standing up, neural signalling begins at the feet as they are the first part of the body to feel the ground and tell the system what to do. The feet are loaded with thousands of nerve receptors that are very sensitive and designed to help us move. They tell the brain where you are, if you are balanced enough to move yet, and basically instigate movement before it even begins. The better the feet are functioning, the better the signal all the way up the kinetic chain, and the more efficiently we can move. Unfortunately, due to many factors ranging from poor footwear, lack of exercise, poor exercise choice etc, our feet become lazy and weak, and so begins the catastrophic destruction of our movements and joints. It is amazing the correlation between foot instability and knee pain or hip pain. I cannot tell you how many cases we have seen where the foot was the main problem with these injuries. Yet like many other injuries in the body, the area that causes the pain is rarely in pain itself. It sends the problems of instability and dysfunction to other areas. To make matters worse our current health and medical treatments are ignorant to looking for a cause and hell-bent on treating symptoms so this weakness or instability is often left unchecked and continue to cause pain and suffering. In this article, we will try to explain how the foot works and provide some simple exercise solutions to correcting any weakness and instability.
