The Fitness Fix

Hip thrusts are a great glute exercise. Why not step it up and add a loop band to work your adductors and knee tracking as well. By dropping your knees in when lowering and moving them apart when you lift, you are also working to improve your hip rotation.

Make sure to pull your feet towards your butt (without moving) to turn this into a hamstring exercise, too! By changing your foot position (in the video feet turned out), straight ahead and toes in/ankles out, you will change the tension on each of the hamstrings.

Aim for five to 10 reps for each of regular thrusts, rotating thrusts and knees in and out in each foot position.

That sore elbow, hip or fatigue may be because you are abs aren't doing their jobs rotating you when golfing, playing tennis, pickleball or even hockey. Try this rotational isometric to help kick those abs in gear and relieve some of those sore, overworked joints.

Rows by themselves are a fantastic exercise for lats, traps, rhomboids, posterior delts, biceps, and core - use loop bands and a couple of variations/positions to add in hamstrings, anterior delts, rotator cuff and adductors.

Aim for 10 reps for each rowing position and 5 of each of the scoops and anterior raises.

Whether you are a golfer, tennis/squash/pickleball player, or lacing up some skates to play hockey, rotational power is key to a good game.

Add this great drill to not only help increase your power but also release back tension.

Don't let the fact that you are on holidays get in the way of a great workout. A loop band is all you need for levelled up tricep kickbacks - not only do you work your triceps, but your shoulders also get an incredible workout.

Make sure to hit all three shoulder rotations to alter the angle and tension on the three heads of the triceps. Even your hands get a workout with this drill!
