"Modify before you quit.", Coach Paula
Helping a student with knee pain modify curtsy lunges. In the process everyone is learning the importance of stretching and strengthening the muscles around the iliotibial band aka the IT band. Curtsy lunges do both. When the IT band gets too tight, it can cause pain by rubbing against bony structures at the knee or hip causing inflammation and pain. But definitely consult a medical professional first before resuming a fitness regimen.

Happy June βοΈπ. Benefits of training the side b***y muscles and abductors!
- Hip stability β stronger abductors keep your pelvis level when you walk, run, or squat.
- Better balance β they help control sideβtoβside movement, reducing falls and wobbly landings.
- Knee protection β powerful side glutes prevent knees from collapsing inward during squats or lunges.
- Enhanced posture β balanced hip muscles support your lower back and core alignment.
- Sculpted shape β targeted work defines the outer glutes for that lifted, rounded look.
- Reduced hip pain β stronger abductors ease tension on the IT band and hip joints.

Good morning! Happy Sunday β₯οΈ. Im so excited for the SGPT Kickboxing session that starts tomorrow, June 1st. We will alternate 3 minute boxing rounds with boxology technique and strength training. Meaning 3 minutes of shadow fighting then 3 minutes of strength training for 10 rounds πͺπΏ ππΏ. Will be an awesome way to spend lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And an overall great opportunity to boost metabolism! If you can make the 1230p live classes, recordings are available.
What is SGPT? This is online Small Group Personal Training. Register for a 2-week session with 4 classes, save money and have access to class recordings and my private WhatsApp group. This is the best deal at $66 if you can't attend live classes or you simply want to repeat classes. Otherwise the drop in rate is $22/class to attend a live class with no access to the recording nor my private chat group. Message me with questions or if you need help with registration.
