💪 PT Tip Tuesday - Hip Mobilization Part #2 💪

We’re continuing our focus on hip mobility this week, building off last week’s routine.

Stretching might not be the most exciting part of training; but your body will definitely feel the difference. And if nothing else, tune in to watch Briley Downing demonstrate the exercises like a pro. 😆

🏃‍♂️ Before your run: Dynamic movement
🔹 1 set × 5 reps each movement

🧘‍♀️ After your run: Static stretching
🔹 Hold each stretch for ~30 seconds

Just a few minutes of mobility before and after your workout can help improve performance, reduce injury risk, and keep you consistent all season long.

Next week we’ll shift into muscle activation + core work to help improve stability, efficiency, and overall performance across swim, bike, and run 💪

A big thank you to our presenting sponsor, for helping athletes training for TRI Clear Lake train smarter, stay healthy, and get race-ready.

🏊‍♂️ Saturday Swim Workout & Pointers with Carrie! 🏊‍♀️

* Extend & reach! Enter shoulder width apart & never cross your centerline.

* High elbow under water and in recovery - use your hand and forearm as your paddle!

* Kick from your hips! Stay relaxed, point your toes, and let your kick barely break the surface.

* Exhale steadily while your face is in the water.

And yes… even though it isn’t comfortable, HAVE SOMEONE VIDEO YOU! 🌊

I know most of us would rather swim another 500 yards than watch ourselves on video, but Carrie Tysdahl promises it’s one of the best ways to see what you’re actually doing in the water. 😜

Warm Up:
200 Swim / 200 Pull

Main Set:
4 x 100 as 50 Kick / 50 Drill

Moderate Effort:
300 / 200 / 100 (60 sec rest between)
300 / 200 / 100 (30 sec rest between)

Cool Down:
2 x 100 Easy Swim, focus on good form.

Total: 2,200 yards 💪
