3 signs that your hips need some loveeeeeeeee…

Squats feel locked Up and can’t hit full depth

All lower back when you hip hinge

In the 90:90 your lower back takes over

Comment “HIPS” for a follow along to improve your hip mobility that you can do at home with no equipment

One of my favourite exercises for building strength through spinal flexion and improving posterior chain mobility.

However, many people find the Jefferson curl challenging. Moving through spinal flexion with control requires mobility, coordination, and awareness.

If you lack spinal mobility or control, you may move through fewer segments, causing other areas to take on more of the movement.

Here’s where I’d start to build your way up to a full Jefferson curl.

Healthy shoulders start with good shoulder blade movement.

If you spend long hours at a desk, your upper back and thoracic spine can become stiff, and the muscles that support your shoulder blades may become less conditioned.

Learning how to move and control your shoulder blades during your gym exercises helps improve shoulder mechanics and build strength where it’s needed.

A strong, well-coordinated mid-back provides a stable base for your shoulders to move efficiently.

Master the fundamentals first, and you’ll improve your technique, train more effectively, and build strength with better movement quality.

If your goal is the splits and you struggle with getting into the couch stretch

Then you need to work on your hip extension (when the leg goes back)

Having the foot elevated is going to help you stretch out your hip and keep your pelvis tucked and your glutes squeezed so we can get the most out of the stretch so you can keep progressing towards your goal

Or even if you are someone that sits down a lot this is something you can add in to your day to give your hips some love
