MOBILITY MONDAY
Simple but effective mobility drill working on hip rotation.
Start by sitting against a wall. Legs straight and just wider than shoulder width apart. Keep the leg straight and try to move from the knee not the ankle. Rotate all the way outwards and then all the way inwards. If you don't have much movement here that's fine, just go as far as you can. It will improve with practice. Do 5-10 reps on each leg 2-3 sets EVERY SINGLE DAY
Have you got tight hips?? A lack of stability across a joint can lead to muscle tightness. Set up a bench or steps as shown. Place your foot on bench and use your elbow for stability. Similar to a side plank but using only one leg to hold you up. Aim for 30 seconds (if you can’t do that, do as much as you can and build up to 30 seconds). Do 2-3 sets on each leg a couple of times per week.

BAD BACK??? Is your back always stiff, sore and tight?? How often do you bring your spine through it’s full range of motion? I would guess that most of you never do. So how do you expect to have a loose and pain free back if you don’t even move your back. Mobility is very much use it or lose it. Below is an exercise that you should do everyday. Start with a simple cat/cow (rounding and arching the spine) and progressing to trying to move each vertebrae (spine segmentation)
Do 5-10 reps and 2-3 sets Everyday 😊
