🦀GLENDA’S CRAB WALK🦀 . . . What it seems to be the set up for a traditional “crab-walk”, Glenda’s version includes sudden changes of direction and constant flexion of the hip. At some obvious point, this video has been edited to a 2x and 3x faster speed. . . Here the highlights of this modified version: . . . 🎯Maintain hip hinge for optimal activation of gluteus medium. In Glenda’s case, critical for knee stability (her fitness plan includes pre-hab plan before a second knee replacement) . . . 🎯Elevate heart rate percentage while keeping brain “guessing”. By the way, her #myzonemoves monitor shows 60% heart rate and the start of the video and 84% at the end o the drill. Not too bad for an isolation drill, ha? . . . . 🎯Enhance hip abduction as a motor skill, particularly when adapting to relative distances and speed reaction required. Have a lovely weekend. Shot question and/or start following us. Happy to tailor your fitness needs. 🤗Will . . . . . . . . . . . #qtxfitness #willariasclient #skins #lululemon #qtxclients #crab #crabwalk #rubberband #gluteusmedius #abduction #glutes #hip #kneestability #armadale #toorak #rehab #prehab #knee #kneereplacement #conditioning #core #cardio #inspiring @will_arias_fitness (at QTX Personal Training Studio - By Will Arias)

🦀GLENDA’S CRAB WALKING🦀 . . . This Friday’s “special” is really special indeed. The video has been obviously edited to a 2x and 3x faster speed. . .

📐⚙️TAILORING KB SQUATS⚙️📐 . . 🎯Assess your own range of motion before adding external resistance. Gradually. . . 🎯Find the squat depth and width that makes you feel comfortable enough to maintain neutral spine and knees tracking in vertical line with the toes. . . . 🎯At lockout, squeeze glutes rather than leaning backwards. Some people does that so as to feel taller & straighter but hyperextending the lumbar spine is unnecessary and feather risky. . . 🎯Even if you think the thoracic area looks a bit rounded, no worries, that is totally fine as the squat pattern finishes with hip extension. Any movement extra attempts against the desired stability of the low back. Happy to discuss further. . . Thanks to Hayley for demonstrating and ongoing support. Feeling proud! . . . Thanks for reading. Cheers.

💃THE FABULOUS GLENDA’S KB DEADLIFTS💃 Here is a Hip Hinge versión tailored for Glenda, on her pre-habilitation conditioning before a second knee replacement. Isn’t she fabulous? Happy to explain the foundation behind this customised alternative using a kettlebell and a rubber band. Hints? ⚙️Minimise knee bearing ⚙️Allow more range of motion to “elastic” hammies. ⚙️Combine two sources of resistance: Consistent (KB) and accomodating or variable (rubber band) ⚙️Sufficient hip flexion and extension ⚠️ Warning: This is not for your every day customer or referred knee patient. Ask your medical practitioner before trying this one or any of the tutorials provided in this site.

Snowboarding/skiing on a budget 🏂⛷ Or Just FUN_ctional training 🏄 A few days back I posted a video about the importance of prioritising warmups relevant and related to the sport of choice. Here, My longtime client Graham, a keen snowboarder and Porsche Carrera Cup driver 🏎, confirms such statement as this drill is transferible to both specific sports. Is it the kind of stuff that we tailor to most of our dear clients, on a regular basis? Of course, no. Risky? As in most cases, only if you do it incorrectly! Just clarifying to the haters, we only might prescribe this sort of drills if one or more of the following needs are present: • Depending sport of choice; • Alternative to train vertical jump pattern • A mind who tends to reach plateaus if there is not enough variety in the cardio/intervals department. • Need for variety for the neuromuscular system and/or new paths for the central nervous system, proprioceptive awareness and motor control. • Plain craziness • All of the above Keep in mind cost and benefit of every move. Is this the safest idea for an elite snowboarder a day before starting a competition? Probably not. However, it could apply as part of the repertoire when off-season or summer time, for instance.
