Uphill gets all the attention but downhill is where the legs can really feel it ⛰️

Descending puts a lot of demand on your body to control your bodyweight and absorb load, which is why downhill walking or running can leave your quads and knees feeling destroyed!

These exercises are great for building the strength + control needed for those descents.

Heading somewhere hilly soon? Start preparing before you get there. 👀

Save this and come back to it when you’re training for your next hike, trail run or adventure.

‼️If you have an existing injury or persistent pain, speak to your therapist/healthcare professional before trying these exercises, as they may not be appropriate for everyone.

Shoulder pain doesn’t automatically mean you need to stop training altogether.
In many cases, continuing to train is possible, but you may need to make some adjustments.

This could include:
✔️ Reducing load or range of movement
✔️ Swapping exercises for more comfortable alternatives
✔️ Incorporating specific rehab exercises to build strength and capacity

Completely avoiding movement isn’t always the answer, and pushing through significant pain rarely is either.
The key is finding the right balance for you.
If shoulder pain keeps returning or is stopping you from training the way you’d like to, it may be time to get it assessed.

If you’re only training quads and glutes, you’re missing these 👇

These 4 “forgotten” muscles play a huge role in how you run:
- Soleus
- Flexor Hallucis Longus
- Gluteus Medius
- Tibialis Anterior

Add them to your routine and feel the difference
Which one do you never train 👀
