You know how some days youâre more flexible then others? Well, I guess you caught me on a good day.
Hereâs a little trick to reset your shoulders back to a neutral alignment.

ïž see last post on pelvic floor/kegels.

Most of us have heard of kegels, usually more so after delivering a baby, but guys have pelvic floor muscles as well.
The easiest way to explain: when youâre going p*e, and you stop the flow, those are the pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic floor strength is extremely important because it keeps all your organs in place. Due to gravity and aging, your uterus, re**um and bladder can all prolapse. That means they can literally fall out your body.
So long story shortâŠ
DO YOUR KEGELS!
This video teaches proper rib alignment and stability so you can get the greatest benefit from your core work!
This is a great series to strengthen your glutes, outer thighs and the lateral rotators of your hips. I always joke that this is my version of a Brazilian butt lift. đ

How you stand on your feet is important because your body ends up having to compensate so you donât fall over.
You should have a 90 degree angle at your ankle joint, and equal weight distribution over your heels and balls of your feet.
Try squats on a foam roller to challenge your balance and stability.
Place the foam roller under the arches of your feet. Use your heels and the balls of your feet to help counter the roll of the foam roller. You can do these by a wall or chair so you have something to hold onto/assist you wile learning.
Use a ball under your back when doing core work to create more range of motion. From the floor, you only get flexion. With the ball, you get flexion and extension.
Strengthening abdominals on the eccentric (lengthening) phase of the movement is what makes these so difficult, and why you feel them so much.
PS- Shaking is normal. Just means your obliques are working really hard!

For every single class I teach, I make sure to strengthen your spine in all planes of movement.
Strengthening all the surrounding muscles of your spine is important because it provides support for your spine from all angles.
When you work to restore proper alignment and curvature in your spine, youâre less prone to to injury (slipped discs, pinched nerves, developing a hunch or sway back etc).
This is one of my favorite stretch series. It lengthens your inner thighs, glutes, hamstrings, calves, low back and obliques.
If youâre having a hard time sleeping at night, spend about 10-15 minutes doing this series before bed. This will help you relax your body into a deeper sleep.
