Giving your eyes a break by training convergence/divergence as demonstrated in this reel will help with depth perception and acuity. When we focus too long on a screen, or on our feet during a hike or run, we need to give our eyes a break by working those eye muscles at difference focal lengths (think getting up and taking a quick walk when you are working at your desk).

Try this to both improve your gait as well as put some pep in your step on a long walk, run, or stint at your computer.

Last week, we talked about how to use isometric holds and pulses to improve the efficacy of any exercise - here it is IN ACTION! Bulgarian split-squats/lunges are an incredible way to increase strength and improve your range of motion. By adding an isometric hold and pulses along with three different positions, you are truly making your gym time count.

Make sure to do at least a 5 second hold in each position, 5 pulses, and follow up with 5 full reps (on both legs of course).

What do you think? Be sure to let us know!

Is this an ab exercise? To increase mobility? Improve your posture? Help with breathing? YES - all of the above!

Side plank lower downs (aka hip drops) are a great way to get the most out of one exercise. This drill can also be done with your elbow on the wall, or in a traditional side plank on a mat. What's your favourite way? I love how this position really challenges my shoulder/shoulder blade movement - in a good way!

Fix Your Gait - external hip rotation

This gait and stance is so common and can lead to sore hips, knees and lower back. You may also find yourself walking this way especially when you are tired.

Try these quick drills to stabilize your spine and unlock those hips. Remember - every single step you take out of alignment affects your joints and muscles.

If you're just starting to follow along, check out our previous videos in the series for tips on how to address specific gait issues as well as tips and tricks for keeping yourself pain-free and active.

Gliding - whether with gliders, paper plates on carpet or socks on tile or hardwood allow you to have incredible control and maintain tension as you move through your range of motion.

Check out this reel to help increase the space in your knee joints while working your quads, calves, glutes and hamstrings. The more you control the movement, the harder you work! Drills that increase space between the joints can help reduce pain by decreasing friction in the joint, taking pressure off the cartilage and improving fluid flow.

Every week, we explore a different theme in our classes. Most of the themes are developed from the questions and needs of the participants in our classes. Our goals are your goals. Email [email protected] for more information. Your first class is always free!

Are you right-handed? This is one of the most common gait issues we see. Most people favour one side of their body so much that the one side of the brain just doesn't get enough feedback. This can lead to sciatica and other back problems. (If you are left-handed, you may notice the exact opposite).

Watch this video and compare this pattern with your gait. If you have one foot that turns out and perhaps one shoulder that turns in, then these tips are for you!

Try these tips and let us know if it makes a difference!

Do your traps (the muscles between your neck and sholders) get sore when doing bicep curls, rows, lat pull downs or shoulder press?

When you move your body, some muscles are movers, contracting across a joint to move your bones, while other muscles are engaged as an anchor, maintaining a stable base around which other bones move.

When your traps get sore when doing exercises around the shoulder, it's often because your body is trying to find an anchor and the traps step up to do the job when they shouldn't.

Want some tips about how to best anchor for movement? Check out this reel! Tips like these are part of every scaffolded class at FitnessFix. Try a class risk and cost free! Email [email protected] for more details.
