Stop neglecting your hip flexors!

This is one of my favorite movement patterns for the hip flexors, especially for runners and athletes

It does a great job of bringing that hip through a full range of motion similar to the demands of running

You’ll also feel a good burn on your stance leg - that hip has to work hard to stabilize your while you’re driving the other leg up and down

Save this and give it a try during your next workout!

FIRE UP THOSE HIPS 🔥

Standing Fire Hydrants are one of my favorite drills to target multiple functions of the hips

On your stance leg your working on stability and endurance - you’ll feel that outer hip musculature burning

Then we’re focusing on stabilizing through the pelvis and moving ONLY through the opposite hip joint - not twisting or turning

Use these as an activation drill before a run - 15 reps for 3” holds
Or as a endurance drill - 3 sets of AMAP

👋🏻 RUNNERS 🏃🏼

STRENGTHEN YOUR HIPS

As the weather is getting nicer and more people are out there running this is your friendly reminder to bulletproof your hips

You need strong, stable hips to tolerate the repetitive demands of running

Check out some of my favorite exercises that I like to prescribe to my runners in this video - save this for your next lower body workout!

Does bending over to reach your toes feel impossible?

A lot of people feel their hamstrings are extremely tight and limit their mobility

One of my favorite drills to use is a simple hamstring opener. Test your forward bend, perform 2 rounds of 10 reps for 5” holds and then retest afterwards

All you’re doing is starting in a low squat then using your quads to straighten the knees as much as you can. This reciprocal inhibition does a nice job of shutting off the hamstrings and slowly improving their mobility

The biggest thing to remember…
Always train your hamstrings afterwards through a full range of motion. Exercises like a RDL or goodmorning are a great follow up to integrate this new mobility

Shoulder blade stiffness, upper back tension, and that “stuck” feeling overhead often come from poor movement around the scapula and rib cage.

This release is one of my favorite ways to help improve mobility, reduce tension through the rhomboids, and make overhead movement feel smoother and stronger. 💪

If your shoulders feel tight during workouts, lifting, or even long days at a desk, improving scapular mobility can make a huge difference.

Save this for later and give it a try 👊

Train your groin while challenging your entire lower body with this slider variation

We’re going to be doing a lateral slider lunge AND using a cable attachment on the ankle to force us to utilize the adductor musculature throughout the movement

I absolutely love this for anyone looking to strengthen their hips and move better in a lateral plane

This would be a great addition to any athletes exercise program, especially those who do a lot of cutting in their sport

Send this to your workout partner and let them know what’s coming 😂

Out for a run with my best pal 🏃🏼🏃🏼‍♀️
Heather Androvich

We had a great time at the Running Is Back 10K in Jersey City this past weekend - can’t forget

Finished at 58:51 so I was happy to keep it under an hour but I’ve got plenty of room for improvement

There are many factors that can limit squat depth, and ankle mobility is definitely in the top 3

If you can’t achieve proper ankle dorsiflexion then you’re going to get stuck at the ankle joint and your body needs to compensate elsewhere

We’re going to use the kneeling lunge test to assess your ankle dorsiflexion.

Then we’ve got a banded mobilization to help open things up if you’re feeling limited in your ankle joint when trying to get your knee over your toe.

If you’re Achilles Tendon is painful then it is likely weak.

Resting isn’t going to magically solve your pain. It may go away but it’ll come back once you overload the tendon again!

You need slow, progressive strengthening to rebuild the calf complex so it can tolerate the demands of life being placed on it
