I strongly recommend that it be a physical activity, but it could also be when eating a meal, brushing your teeth, riding the bus, whatever you want! Be FOCUSED and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. Make the most of what you are experiencing, instead of trying to blur it out of our memory but focusing on something else! Make the MOST of your time and energy 🙌🏼⁣

While stretching the calf muscles helps to increase the extensibility of the plantar flexors, sometimes there can be a possible issue in the joint itself that doesn’t allow for full ROM of motion. When the joint gets “stiff” it can limit the ROM of the ankle because of the position of the bones in the joint, sometimes using mobilizations may help improve that. ⠀ This was shown by (Elizabet E et al 2009) in a preliminary study that looked at ankle mobility after prolonged immobilization and the effects of an anterior to posterior mobilization on ankle dorsiflexion. They found an increase in dorsi flexion ROM post mobilization of the joint. There is a way to do this yourself using a resistance band as shown above. ⠀ Using a resistance band .5-1 in wide, loop one part of it around an object to secure it and place the other part right under on the ankle joint under the end of the lower leg. Move forward until there is a good amount of tension trying to pull your leg back. Now begin to push forward the knee of the ankle that is covered with the band. This will move the ankle through its ROM in closed chain dorsi flexion. You want to push forward as far as you can without the heel lifting off the ground. ⠀ Perform about 30 reps on each leg and then see if you have any improvements in your ankle mobility, if the joint “stiffness” was a limiting factor for you there should be an increase in ROM. - . . . . #resistanceband #mobilitytraining #squatmobility #ankles #frontsquats #squats #glutes #quads #hamstrings #yoga #fitness #mobilitywod #flexibility #physicaltherapy #yogi #bodybuilding #weekendyoga #deadlift #squat #hypertrophy #legday #workout #yogaformen #physio #irishfitfam #mobility #anklemobility #yogafit #stretchdaily⁣ #iifym (en Nevada City, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B27pAHmJ-1Z/?igshid=6mqpuq9e30fw

STRETCHES FOR BETTER SQUATS One of the most common exercises we do but often th… STRETCHES FOR BETTER SQUATS 🍑👌🏼 One of the vital widespread workout routines we do however typically the one we will’t get fairly proper...

Downward dog + pigeon ______________________________ This drill is mainly to improve the mobility of the hips, calves, and hamstrings. Start in a quadruped position and press into a downward dog position by hinging the hips up and back as you press the armpits down and up toward your toes. Make sure to get full range of motion in the shoulders and in the t-spine, but do not collapse your ribcage to the floor creating excessive thoracic extension. Also, make sure to avoid excessive rounding of the lower spine. Bend the knees and lift the heels off the floor if you need to. Then, begin to hinge foward into a plank position as you swing one leg between your arms. The knee should be next to the same wrist and the foot should be across by the other wrist. This is your pigeon pose. Pause and feel the stretch in the glute, making sure to maintain a neutral spine by engaging the abs and keeping the ribs down. If it feels uncomfortable on your knee just bend the leg more and keep more weight in your arms. Press the weight back into your hands as you swing the leg back and hinge back into your downward dog. Repeat on the other side. #mobility #warmup #hipmobility #hamstringstretch #pigeonpose #downwarddog #calfstretch #glutestretch #dynamicstretch #dynamicwarmup #squatmobility #squatwarmup #deadliftmobility #deadliftwarmup _______________________________ 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.

Bottom squat + hip lift ______________________________ This is a great mobility drill to open up the ankles, knees, and hips. Begin in a forward fold position with your feet in squat position and a slight bend in your knees. Grab under your toes (bend knees as needed) and fire your back muscles to create tension through the core. Then slowly pull yourself down into a squat by dropping the hips and lifting the chest. Your elbows will finish inside your knees and you can push them out into your legs to deepen the stretch. Slowly push your hips up and back as you return to your forward fold position. You can incorporate your breath by inhaling deeply as you squat and then exhaling fully as you return to forward fold. #bodysquat #bottomsquat #squatwarmup #squatprep #hipopener #hipmobility #squatmobility #mobilitydrill #mobility ______________________________ 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.
