Number 1 movement for improving shoulder health ☝️
Shoulder extension is key for maintaining quality shoulder health and function, however most find this area very tight and restricted causing aches & pains in area 🤕
This is where the Prayer Stretch comes in ✅
This stretch works on gaining extension back into the shoulders 👌🏻
Take care not to arch through the lower back as this will work against the stretch. Work to inhale and hold the core, then exhale to push down through the shoulders to create the extension stretch ⭐️
Hold for sets of 30-60secs!

Hands down the number 1 exercise for developing   and   aka   into the hamstrings ☝️
The Jefferson Curl 🏋🏻‍♀️
The best is to mix between reps, going full range up and down without stopping, and holds on the last rep, 10-30secs works well ✅
The weight will push you through previous plateaus in your hammy flexibility, advanced players can build up to a equal bodyweight rep 👊🏻

Who’s feeling 2022 🤚🏻
Cruising into the new year with .pilates taking each day of the new year as its coming at us 🦾
With the last 2 years as it’s gone it’s as important as ever to have goals and targets for the year, but even more important will be to be more flexible and adaptable with these goals 🎯
If your goal is put off by world events or restrictions, don’t throw them out of the window. How can you achieve the same goal in a different way? Adapt and change to still hit your target but in a slightly different way than you initially thought 💭
If the target is straightforward and easy to achieve then it probably isn’t a big enough target anyway 🤔
Let’s get after it 2022 👊🏻👊🏻

Modified Dragons Squats 🐉
Starting the week with some sunshine and outdoor work 🌳

Deficit Sissy Squats level level ⬆️ 🆙
If you are smashing out the sissy squats easy, then it might time to add some deficit to the movement. Like this convenient 2 inch I found at the park 🪨
The deficit will further develop your strength through range in the quads and help stabilise that knee joint 🦵
Start with a small deficit and slowly increase as you get more capable 👍
