The Most Notoriously “TIGHT” Region of The Body⬇️swipe left ⬅️ Have you ever asked the average person who has been battling chronic lower back pain or a painful hip pinch what they think the problem is? As a physical therapist , Pilates and yoga wellness coach, I ask these questions, And usually, the answer goes something like this… “My hips are just so TIGHT and STIFF !

Slithering through the weekend like 🦎🐍🦖🤣🤣 I am a huge fan of this movement pattern, the prone contralateral crawl for all the fellow nerds reading. Low level of intensity, effective mobility drill for hips and shoulders, turns on the entire core and back, no equipment, easy to teach, and can be done by most populations. 🐵 I will explain some of the reasons I like it, but first to note is that it just feels good / effective and it is kinda fun to do. 🤷‍♂️🤸‍♂️ There is some great research linking contralateral limb training to helping activate hemispheres of the brain at the same time and increase corpus callosum (the middle bridge of tissue between the left and right sides) thickness. You will notice when starting / learning / first practicing this movement, it might take a little more brain power to make it look smooth than you think. (It's the same pattern as a versaclimber for my trainer and athlete homies out there). 🤯 The hips and shoulders go through a relatively full range of motion (flexion and external rotation on one side of the body and internal rotation with extension on the other side of the body) under a light resistive load (the friction from the floor). This allows for EPIC mobilizing and activating of the joints and muscles through the core, back, arms, and legs. My whole body feels more limber and "warmed up" afterward. 💪 I also personally notice that it helps me improve my mind-muscle connection to my lats quite a bit without allowing for a lot of deviation / compensation from other areas - especially due to the unilateral (single sided) pulling aspect, which is a great isolation movement to fire up the lat. #kfitpro #mobilitytraining #mobilitydrill #teamslitherin (at Kempf Fitness Professional) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfafUOHgQj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2jruy789klvb

Side lying half arm circle _______________________________ This drill is to improve thoracic rotation, mechanics of the diaphragm, and shoulder mobility. One of my favorite starting moves for clients with tight pecs / lats / shoulders. Lie down on your side in the fetal position and arms out in front if you with something to squeeze between your legs and something to rest your head on. Start by squeezing the groin muscles and the pelvic floor to prevent the hips and lumbar spine from rotating. Then begin to raise one arm in a windmill fashion up and around the body. Your back will rotate down to the floor and your chest/armpit will open up to the ceiling. Begin to inhale as you start to twist open and exhale when you reach your end position. Pause in the stretched open position with the arms dircetly in line with each other, and then rotate your torso and arm back to the starting position so your top hand lies on top of the other. Reset your breath as you bring the palms to touch. This is one rep. Perform all reps on one side and then the other. #shouldermobility #shoulderwarmup #pecstretch #mobilitydrill #deepbreathing #deepbellybreath #thoracicrotation _______________________________ Kempf Fitness Professional is an online training platform that was designed to bring you valuable information and coaching to improve your health, fitness, and overall life quality.

Putting in the mobility work. When I first started my #LiveLean journey I'll be honest, it was all about the #aesthetics because of my self-esteem issues. So I followed programs designed to get me #stronger, to build more #muscle, and chisel down. Now that I've achieved those #fitness goals, my focus now is maintaining my current #physique and #athleticism while improving my mobility for long-term health. Here's another mobility drill I like to incorporate before my #strength #workouts. Opens up the hips and hamstrings while getting the blood flowing. And good news, in April not only will we be releasing a Live Lean Mobility video series program, we'll also be launching a new Live Lean Yoga program. If you're excited for a video mobility program, in the comments say MOBILITY. If you're excited for a video yoga program, say YOGA!
