Squats!

Hi!

I wanted to show you perfect form for a squat from a side view. My knees are at 90 degrees which is a safer ROM than just going to 80, 85 degrees if your ankles, knees and hips are flexible enough. In fact, I explain everything in my latest article for Online Harbour above.

Please check it out. Thanks!

Tight hips flexors?

Hi!

Here I’m demonstrating a great way to fully target all of the muscle fibers of the hip flexor muscle group. Since some of the muscle fibers attach to the spine, I’m laterally flexing to the opposite side.

If you don’t have a ball, simply lean your hand on your knee. Be sure to lean forward of the right knee seen here. Plus you can pulse gently. Hold about 20-30 seconds.

The hip flexors can get tight with athletics especially running and cycling. They can also tighten up and shorten if you sit a lot. The danger is that when this happens, it can affect the mechanics of your lower back and manifest in pain and discomfort. I hope this is helpful!

Enjoy your day!

Lateral squats with a med ball. Perfect form Bob!

My client Bob, age 56, wants overall fitness, decreased body fat, plus he wants to hit the golf ball farther. He’s a very good golfer and I know what to do.

I have to progress him slowly, build a base of strength first, then add, little by little, some dynamic power moves firing gluteus medius and abs but making sure it’s through a stable, strong core.
