There’s no such thing as sleepy glutes.

Your glutes need to learn how to experience length. So they can fire how they are designed to.

One of my favorite ways to do that?

The kickstand hinge.

Give your glutes and hips more length, and you may be surprised how much better you move.

Running is essentially hopping on one foot over and over again.

So why wouldn’t you train that quality?

Both calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) can experience forces approaching 7x your bodyweight when you run. 🤯

Your calves need to absorb force, produce it quickly, and do it over and over again.

That’s where plyometrics come in.

Here are 3 beginner-friendly plyometric drills to help build your lower legs’ ability to handle the demands of running.

Plyometrics should be in every runners program.

Healthy or injured you should be training this quality.

Because running is essentially hopping on a single leg over and over again.

Your ankle and lower leg complex need to be able to handle the demands. Especially if you’re coming back from an injury.

PhyziX Update!

I’m stepping into a clinical mentorship role to help develop our new PX therapists.

A big part of becoming a better clinician is learning how to problem solve when a case doesn’t go according to plan.

Helping others work through those tricky cases also pushes me to continue learning, challenge my own thinking, and grow as a clinician.

This past week, we worked through one of my favorite drills for getting the foot to better integrate with the lower leg.

Excited to keep learning, teaching, and helping the PX Fam grow!

The rotator cuff muscles get all the love. But remember the entire arm has to work together.

The biceps and triceps are often overlooked.

And in my experience, they tend to be the ones underworking causing your rotator cuff to take the hit.

These two exercises help your arms do the work and not your shoulder.

Comment “arm” below and I’ll send you the 2 exercises.

Your feet are meant to be strong, especially your big toe!

This is super important if you run or are an athlete because you need to be able to produce a large amount of force quickly.

This modification to a calf raise starts to teach your foot to do just that.

Chronic hip and low back tightness often isn’t just a muscle problem. It’s also a nervous system problem.

Your nervous system is designed to protect you. When a movement doesn’t feel safe, it creates tension, even without you realizing it.

Sometimes your body doesn’t need to be stretched. It needs a reason to move differently.

That’s why stretching alone often doesn’t create lasting change.

This is one of my favorite drills to help reduce tension around the hips and low back.

Let me know in the comments if you tried it or would like a more detailed breakdown.

Remember to train the entire arm, so it can distribute the work evenly.

Not just the muscle that is already overworking

Most people don’t actually know how to hip hinge.

They squat it… or crank through their low back.

But once you learn how to properly load your hips, everything changes.

More glutes.
Less low back tension.
Better movement overall.

Sometimes the right cue is all it takes to make the movement finally click.

It’s hard to learn but coachable.
