Today’s #moveoftheday is called downward facing dog - but as yoga w Adrienne calls it: taking your dog for a walk. I don’t know. Call it what you want it really stretches your legs - which is why I love it. • from the forward fold position, walk your hands out til your body makes an arch. Keep your legs as straight as possible but do not lock your knees. • hold position until your body is comfortably stretched • next bend one knee, straighten then bend the other knee. Switching back and forth until you feel comfortable. . This is a great stretch for your #pirformis ... . . . . . . #piriformisstretch #fitness #injuredlife #piriformissyndrome #injuredrunner #run #running #health #fitmom #stretching #healthymom #injuredathlete #injured #ketomom #homeschoolingmom #onedayatatime (at Frederick, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGqjnCl8CL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y21pxwcsc7nf

I was gonna start #running this week but I pulled my #pirformis muscle. Once you pull this specific muscle, it’s easily injured constantly. Since first hurting it I pulled this muscle twice. Ugh. Will be posting stretches to help w this condition....oh joy right? First up modified figure 4. . Sit forward on the edge of your chair and make sure your back is neutral, not arched. You should be sitting on your "sit bones" – two points you'll be able to feel on your buttocks – not on your tailbone. Center your rib cage over your hips. Roll your shoulders back so that your shoulder blades are tucked in and flowing straight down your back alongside your spine . Cross your right leg. To move into the seated figure four, plant your left foot solidly on the floor, then lift your right leg and bend it at the knee so it's crossed over your left leg. You want to place your right ankle on your left thigh, just above your knee. Flex your right foot and try to keep your knee and leg as flat as possible. You should feel a slight stretch in the muscles of your outer knee. Gently press down on your right knee with your right hand. . If you want to intensify the stretch in your glutes and outer thighs, you can do so by hinging your torso forward from the waist. Try to keep your back as flat and neutral as possible, and lower your shoulders away from your ears. This will help open your throat and allow you to maintain your breathing practice. Think about folding your chest or heart toward your thighs. You can rest your torso on your thighs if it's comfortable for you to fold that deeply. Don't go lean so far forward that you feel pain, however. . Repeat with the other leg. Lower your right foot to the floor, then lift your left foot and repeat the same movements. . #fitness #exercise #piriformisstretch #piriformissyndrome #injuredrunner #chronic #physicaleducation #stretch #yoga #healingexercise #oldpro #fit #fitfam #fitness #healing #healingexercises (at Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_4U-Ul4Lh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uu83olyhafom
