MOBILITY MONDAY
Simple but effective mobility drill working on hip rotation.
Start by sitting against a wall. Legs straight and just wider than shoulder width apart. Keep the leg straight and try to move from the knee not the ankle. Rotate all the way outwards and then all the way inwards. If you don't have much movement here that's fine, just go as far as you can. It will improve with practice. Do 5-10 reps on each leg 2-3 sets EVERY SINGLE DAY

Have you got tight hips?? A lack of stability across a joint can lead to muscle tightness. Set up a bench or steps as shown. Place your foot on bench and use your elbow for stability. Similar to a side plank but using only one leg to hold you up. Aim for 30 seconds (if you can’t do that, do as much as you can and build up to 30 seconds). Do 2-3 sets on each leg a couple of times per week.

Tight Hip Flexors?? Try this, actively flex the hip as high as you can, hold for a few seconds. With your arms pull the knee up finding your passive end range. From here take a deep breath, create tension throughout your body, let go of your knee and try to keep the hip in the same position. Hold for a few seconds. Repeat on the other leg. Do 3-5 reps on each leg. 1-2 sets 😊 Passive end range holds 😊

TIGHT HAMSTRINGS??? Continuously stretching and not seeing any results? Have you tried strengthening? A lack of end range strength can lead to a lack of stability across a joint and in turn can lead to muscle tightness! Use a wall to minimize compensation. Lift the heel off the ground trying to drive into the glute. Squeeze and hold or a few seconds and repeat. Do 5-10 reps on each leg, 2-3 sets a couple times per week.

BAD BACK??? Is your back always stiff, sore and tight?? How often do you bring your spine through it’s full range of motion? I would guess that most of you never do. So how do you expect to have a loose and pain free back if you don’t even move your back. Mobility is very much use it or lose it. Below is an exercise that you should do everyday. Start with a simple cat/cow (rounding and arching the spine) and progressing to trying to move each vertebrae (spine segmentation)
Do 5-10 reps and 2-3 sets Everyday 😊

How many of you suffer from lack of mobility in your shoulders? Probably a lot of you. Now let me ask you how many of you move your shoulders everyday? Above your head, behind you, rotation. You can’t expect to have good mobility if you don’t even use your shoulders like there designed to be used.

A few tips to improve your relationship with food!!

Total Restriction is not a healthy approach.
Restricting yourself from foods you enjoy to eat will just lead to periods of binging. An 80% approach all year round is far better than a 100% approach for 5 days then completely binging at the weekend. (ps. calling it a cheat day doesn't mean its ok).
Let me give you an example. You eat one chocolate biscuit per day. 7 biscuits in the week. Or you eat no biscuits Monday to Friday and eat a packet of biscuits at the weekend. 17 biscuits. Which approach do you think is better??

You will almost always go backwards before you go forwards.
Switching your mindset from an all or nothing to a little and often takes time. You will tend to binge at the beginning. But stick with it, you will get the hang of it and your relationship with food will be all the better because of it.

5 WEIGHTLOSS TIPS:

1. Be consistent
2. Calories matter whether you count them or not.
3. Just because something worked for your friend doesn't mean it will automatically work for you. Everybody is different so you need to find what works best for you.
4. Total restriction is not the right way to lose weight. It will lead to long term psychological issues with food and binge eating (a cheat meal is binge eating, trust me I've done it). You don't have to eliminate the foods you enjoy to eat in order to lose weight. You just need somebody to show you the correct way to do it.
5. Be consistent
