Revive Movement Physical Therapy & Performance

Copenhagen + rotation

A staple for inner thigh, pelvic floor and abdominal strength. And an important accessory exercise for athletes susceptible to groin injures.

I like 3 x 7/side

Go experiment 🔥

Full body accessory work!

Accessory work is meant to help you focus in on specific muscle groups working. Higher repetitions and lighter weights is extremely helpful in developing a great mind-muscle connection!

My fitness priorities:
1. Strength with heavy load, relatively low reps
2. Quality of movement with lighter load, relatively high reps
3. Cardiovascular fitness & endurance

Happy Friday!

Join me on the FIRST Saturday of every month for a community accessory strength class!

THE BASICS are in my accessory routine every week.

It’s great to add in dynamic, creative ab work AND it’s really helpful to do the basics really well.

If the basics feel particularly hard for me one day, it’s information. Maybe I’m under recovered, maybe I’ve been bracing or moving or holding myself in suboptimal positions, maybe I have muscle tension that needs to be addressed.

The point is, the basics become your test movements to decide the status of your body, and help you decide what you need next.

Happy training 🔥

The bread & butter of ab strength, and the foundation for pelvic & spine stability during resistance training.

To be honest, if this feels easy, you’re doing it wrong. Straight up! It requires you to be really picky with how you stabilize your spine into the floor, and not allow any movement out of that position.

If you’re unsure how you’re doing with this type of ab work, grab me in the gym and I’ll check your form 👌🏻

More tips!
✅ exhale when you move legs away from you to help your abs deepen their contraction during the most challenging part of the movement
✅ slow down — this makes it way more obvious when you lose the integrity of your starting position

You can thank me later for stronger abs 🔥
