Static stretching isn’t the only way to open up tight hips. Dynamic hip flexor and quad mobilization actively builds range of motion and control where you need it most.

How to execute:

Set up with your knee close to the wall on a comfortable pad or mat

Lock in a posterior pelvic tilt (tuck your tailbone) to engage your core and isolate the quad.

Slowly move through the range—driving forward into the stretch, then backing off, keeping the glute squeezed at peak tension.

Perform 8–10 controlled reps per side before running, lifting, or as part of your daily mobility reset.

Save this for your next warm-up! 📌

Mobility Monday: 90/90 Hip Rotations + Thoracic Reach
🏼⚡️

If sitting all day has your hips feeling glued together and your lower back locked up, this flow is your fix.

The 90/90 Reach-Through targets two key areas at once:

Hip Mobility: Improves both internal and external rotation without overloading the joints.

T-Spine Rotation: Opens up the upper back, taking unnecessary tension off your lumbar spine.

How to do it:

1. Sit with knees bent at 90-degree angles in a classic 90/90 position.

2. Rotate your upper body toward the front leg and thread your back arm through, reaching towards the floor.

3. Pause for 1–2 seconds, return to center, and smoothly switch sides.

Aim for 6–8 slow, controlled reps per side before a workout or after a long day at the desk.

Save this for your next warm-up or recovery day! 📌

Kickstart your week with a little lower back love for 🐍👇

The Active Cobra is one of my go-to movements for opening up the abdominal wall and restoring gentle extension through the spine—especially if you spend most of your day seated.

Key Cues for Proper Form:

-Keep your hips and thighs relaxed and grounded on the mat.

-Press through the palms, but focus on drawing your shoulder blades down into your back pockets (don’t let them shrug into your neck!).

-Keep your neck relaxed—look slightly forward rather than cranking your head straight up.

-Move with control: exhale as you press up, inhale as you lower.

Aim for 8–10 controlled reps or hold dynamically for a few seconds at the top.

Save this for your next warm-up or post-workout cool-down, and drop a 🐍 below if you’re going to give this a go!

Do these two exercises look easy?

For most people, they’re surprisingly difficult.

If your hips feel tight, your back aches after sitting all day, or you wake up feeling stiff, it’s usually because your body has forgotten how to move well—not because you’re “getting old.”

That’s exactly why I created The Movement Reset.

Over 4 weeks we’ll work together to improve your mobility, core strength and movement quality with simple, progressive exercises like these.

✔️ 4 one-to-one coaching sessions
✔️ Home video routines
✔️ Weekly accountability

The aim isn’t to become a gymnast.

It’s to help you get out of bed easier, move with confidence, and enjoy everyday life without feeling restricted.

Introductory price: £150 (normally £240).

Sessions held at ActivePerformance Kings Cliffe in a private space or in home sessions available in Kings Cliffe and Market Deeping (surrounding areas)

Are you actually training your back, or just flexing your biceps? 👇

The 1 arm cable row is one of the best movements for building a strong, stable upper back—but only if you execute it perfectly. Most people grab the handle and just jerk the weight backward, using pure momentum and arm strength.

If you want to actually target your lats and rhomboids, follow these steps

- Lead with the shoulder blades: Don’t just pull with your hands. Think about sliding your shoulder blades back before your elbows even move.

- Keep a proud chest: Don’t let your shoulders cave forward at the end of the movement. Keep your posture tall and strong.

- Control the return: The movement doesn’t end when you pull the handle in. Fight the weight on the way back out (the eccentric) to double your results.

Save this for your next back day and focus on quality over ego. 🧠💪 Let me know how you get

As we get older, keeping our arms strong is vital for everyday tasks whether that’s carrying heavy shopping, gardening, or lifting the kids.

But standard pressing movements can sometimes be tough on the elbows.

The cable pushdown is a fantastic, joint friendly alternative because it keeps constant, smooth tension on the triceps without overloading the joints.

How to do it safely:

- Keep your shoulders relaxed and down

- Keep your elbows pinned to your sides like
they’re glued there.

- Press down smoothly and control the
weight on the way up.

Next time you’re in give this a try on the cable machine → keep it controlled, and
your elbows will thank you!
