• Do you struggle with your squat depth? — Try this hip mobility drill before you squat next! 💡 — Most of the population struggle to get into a full squat because of a sedentary lifestyle. Working 40+ hours a week sitting at a desk causes the musculature around the hips to tighten. — 📸 @graceelizabethimages — #movementenhanced #mobility #hipflexors #spiderman

  • 😍 SPLIT SQUATS 😍 — This is probably our members most hated exercise! 😆 — Although they are very tough, they provide many benefits. The front foot elevated variation is great for improving ankle mobility and stretching tight hip flexors. Perfect for those that sit down all day! 👩‍💼👨‍💼 — To perform the exercise, start with your feet shoulder width apart and step one foot forward into the starting position. Keeping an upright posture, move forward and down, allowing your knee to track over your toe until your hamstring touches your calf. Once you have reached the bottom position, ensure you can feel a stretch on your rear hip flexor, then push through the front foot back to the start position. — Traditionally we program these in the B or C series after our compound lift for the day. In our current phase of programming the B series is as follows! — Send us a message if you have any questions! ✌️ — 📸 @graceelizabethimages — #splitsquat #legstrength #hipmobility #strength #health #fitness #movementenhanced #strengthandconditioning

  • ACCEPTING OWNERSHIP — Often in life, we can get caught up in viewing our actions with bias. We convince ourselves that what we are doing is working and helping us progress towards our goals. — The danger is in viewing something SUBJECTIVELY not OBJECTIVELY — For example 👇 — If your goal is to improve your body composition, the measurement of progress is black and white. Are you progressing or are you not? Choose whatever objective measure you like, but the answer is in the numbers 🔢 — We are all guilty from time to time of not facing the truth and make ourselves feel better by telling ourselves things like “Oh I’ve been eating healthy” or “Yeh I’ve been staying on-track”. — The sooner you face the fact that what you are doing might not be working, take ownership and make the change. The sooner you do the sooner you’ll be achieving the things you want! 💫 — 📸 @graceelizabethimages — #movementenhanced #strength #health #fitness #exercisescience #strengthandconditioning

  • Office worker with tight hips? The banded couch stretch is great for opening up the anterior musculature of the hip. The cues we use is to posteriorly tilt the pelvis and laterally flex slightly. This variation hit the rectus femoris unlike the traditional hip flexor variations with the rear foot on the floor. — If you are someone that experiences lower back pain, this is a MUST! 💡 — Try it out and let us know how you go! ✌️ — 📸 @graceelizabethimages — #movementenhanced #strength #health #fitness #exercisescience #strengthandconditioning

  • If you are looking for a quick fix or a magic pill, this is not the place for you. - While most will tell you it’s easy, we will tell you it’s not. - At times you will want to quit and throw in the towel. You will be frustrated and some may even stop. This is just a test in the game of STRENGTH. - Through these periods, we encourage you to stay disciplined. We will guide, coach and mentor you. All we need from you is commitment. Continue this year on year and we can promise you big things. - The next step is in your hands, MAKE YOUR MOVE! - 📸 @graceelizabethimages - #movementenhanced

  • When we refer to the thoracic spine, we are talking about the portion of the middle back that runs from T1-T12. This is an area where many people experience stiffness as the majority of the activities we do on a day to day basis, are very anterior dominant. - Regardless of whether it is to improve function, reduce pain or increase physical performance, focusing on thoracic mobility is super important! - This is one of the more advanced drills we use but is a great exercise for improving thoracic extension and rotation. - If you are going to try this, make sure you can get into a good position without weight first then try with a 2kg DB. - @graceelizabethimages - #movementenhanced #thoracicmobility #posture
