Friends! I’m trying to fill a small group personal training spot for a Friday morning. Send some people you know my way 🥹 South Surrey Groundworks

IT band pain can be from a lack of internal rotation at the pelvis. Usually due to anterior pelvic tilt.

To help alleviate this, try the first exercise to bring your pelvis back to a more neutral position. Begin by pressing the low back into the ground. Secondly, think about drawing the heels down. Do this in a relaxed state, focusing on a 5 second inhale and 5 second exhale.

Once you have this, try the second and third exercise, which has an emphasis on creating internal rotation from a neutral position. Begin by lying on your side, hips, neck and shoulders in line. Head rests on upper arm. Slightly move the top leg forward, and stop right before it feels like it’s about roll. Exhale as you roll out, inhale as the upper leg comes back in your neutral.

Lastly, begin with the front foot slightly elevated, preferably something of less height. At the bottom both legs are 90 degrees. Keeping the chest upright and avoiding arching. For the duration of this exercise keep a slight turn towards the working leg.

From here, retest your internal rotation.

✨Ever feel like your legs “burn” more during your luteal phase?✨

Why?

Because your core temperature can increase by approximately 0.4-0.8 F, potentially decreasing available oxygen to the body, and therefore producing more lactic acid.

Your connective tissue may also acquire more laxity due to high levels or progesterone.

To mediate this 👇🏼

Ensure hydration to get blood to flow more freely and enhance oxygen delivery. It also allows for sweating as evaporation is the number one mechanism our bodies rely on for cooling.

Keep cool! Stay breezy and take off those layers 🍃

Kids mainly rely on conduction and radiation for cooling.

Aka ✨Dyskinesis✨
(Exaggerated) but also my party trick 🎉

1️⃣ Purpose: Fixing the foundation for the scapula. Because the scapula will wing, especially when the ribcage is down and compressed. Engage the abdominals that are contralateral to the winged scapula, to draw the other side down. This allows the rib to elevate on the ipsilateral side, in ex*****on with the additional stretch and emphasis on breathing.

CREATE SPACE. CONTROL MOVEMENT IN THE SPACE.

🍓Execution: Stack the knees 90 degrees. Shoulder stacked over elbow. Side with winged scapula faces up. Lift the hips. Ribs remain down and you should feel the side abs engage. Reaching overhead (relaxed). Breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth. 5 second inhale, 5 second exhale.

2️⃣ Purpose: Learning how to hold and move the scapula on the ribcage, especially in overhead movements. Also to strengthen the muscles that have become weak due to suboptimal muscle lengths.

🍓Execution: Grab a band. Hands shoulder width apart. Arm that goes over head is the winged scapula side. Pulling up and out, stopping before ribcage flare. Thumb slowly rotates outwards. While holding the top position, repeat the 5 second inhale and exhale. Repeat this about 5-8 times, feel the abdominals engage. Avoid shrugging.

🔑
It is important to be relaxed as these exercises help you learn new patterns in a “safe” state.

Isometrics can be a phenomenal tool for a multitude of reasons.

✨Why?

⦾ Tendon strength! Loading the tendon allows it to stiffen, which is essential for transmitting force between bones and muscles.

⦾ Injury prevention by loading areas that may be injury prone, in exercises such as the bottom of a squat. (Active and not passive)

⦾ Mobility by reducing neurological inhibition and using the load to lengthen a particular position with the purpose of gaining control over that specific area.

✨How?

Choose a range that you’re weak or tight in and do 1-2 long duration sets (30- 60 seconds) for hypertrophy/rehab. And (1-5 seconds) for strength.

Be sure to load up your mobility training with a sufficient stimulus to elicit an adaptation.
Remember that if we want the body to change, it has to feel pressure to change.
