Back pain? Time to engage those glutes. Quadruped Fire hydrants and donkey kicks back to back will surely wake up those glutes! As the largest muscle group in the body and frequently underused, most don't know how to activate their glutes. This leads to back pain when performing daily chores, so work your butt off! Your low back will appreciate it! #totalbodyperformance #glute #muscleactivation #lowbackpain #gluteos #painrelief #exercise #exerciseismedicine #inhomefitness #homeworkout (at Redding, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMCdDJFkeU/?igshid=m8cu9oj4jigd

Practicing animal flow with tempo changes to make this yoga-esque flow. We sprinkle animal flow moves in our client's exercise programs to focus on the importance of mobility, calisthenics, and especially creativity. Follow us and check us out at tbpfitness.com. We will continue to mix therapy and training programs to conventional and unconventional exercise techniques to improve functional mobility, general strength, weight loss and overall athletic ability. #totalbodyperformance #inhomefitness #outdoorworkout #getoutdoors #animalflow #acsm #fairfieldcounty #igfit #igfitness #agility #coordination #yoga #calisthenics #bodyweight #exercise #fitness #ejercicio #agilidade #functionaltraining #fullbodyworkout #holistictraining #trainlikeanathlete #becreative (at Redding, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_769C8F0kn/?igshid=1cpg68mv8nrm4

Diagonal V-ups with dumbbells. Adding diagonals to your conventional core exercises will help make a uni-planar exercise like V-ups more functional. This exercise can be done without dumbbells, but by including dumbbells and ensuring full range of motion, you can focus on hypertrophy and strength for a difficult area to carve out muscle! #totalbodyperformance #inhomefitness #core #abdominales #abworkout #dumbbellworkout #fullbodyworkout #functionaltraining #acsm #fairfieldcounty #igfit #igfitness #rotationexercises #nogymnoproblem #holistictraining #trainlikeanathlete #becreative #vup #crunch #getcut #fitness #ejercicio #exercise (at Redding, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3WwWAF51w/?igshid=1ny1okcea2492

Functional training is what I love the most about these at home workouts, which is why I don't mind gyms being closed. Single leg balance, bodyweight, weight bearing and moving along diagonals are 4 major components of what I believe defines a true functional exercise. In addition you get some great mobility with this strengthening move! First is a single leg RDL on a BOSU with a diagonal reach to really work those PNF patterns while engaging the core on an uneven surface. Second is the same pattern on an even surface. Believe it or not, this move is harder without the weights.

As therapists first and trainers second, we always tie in exercise to our clinical knowledge, and our clients benefit tremendously. Here is a diagram depicting human development during our infant years. Notice all the positional changes from the most basic and easiest to the positions requiring more core and full body strength with the passing of months. The key take away is we need to change the way we train and add those basic/intermediate positions to challenge our bodies. We tend to workout, especially core, on the floor or standing/hanging, why not include rolling, quadruped, kneeling or half kneeling? Half kneeling with a narrow base of support diagonal raises are an absolute core burner that challenges stability in a functional pattern. You don’t need much weight, but you will need to concentrate on core engagement and glute squeezing or you will fall over! Switch up your training. Our bodies are excellent machines at finding ways to compensate, so switch up your routine. Change those regular shoulder presses to kneeling presses.

Have 2 dumbbells? Then you have enough for a cardio workout. Cardio isn't all about running or using machines, these two moves are easier on the knees and don't require a lot of space. Move 1 are gunslingers and move 2 are skier swings. Supersetting Back to back 30 seconds of each for 5 to 10 rounds will get your heart racing. We work with a majority of clients who have had knee and hip replacements, these moves are easier on the joints, get the heart rate up than lower extremity cardio due to the arms being closer in proximity to the heart, and promote hip hinging which is crucial basic movement for proper body mechanics. #totalbodyperformance #inhomefitness #dumbbellworkout #exercise #cardio #fitness #superset #holistictraining #trainlikeanathlete #HIIT #acsm #fairfieldcounty #igfit #igfitness #kneefriendlyexercises #fullbodyworkout #functionaltraining (at Redding, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kHMoQFjHP/?igshid=1m5jbv8ijq707

We have emphasized repeatedly the importance of single leg training and how important it is to improving strength, stability and injury prevention. Here is an offloaded split squat knee drive using a @bosu_fitness BOSU. We certainly use this with our post outpatient rehab clients who have undergone total/partial knee, hip and even toe replacement. The key is alignment, alignment, alignment with this move. Maintaining a direct line from hip to knee throughout to reduce shearing forces on the knee while stabilizing the ankle and hip. This can be done with or without the weight to make it a calisthenic exercise.

Working on my low back has always been a major issue since I was diagnosed at 16 with a left sided spondylolesthesis and mild scoliosis, but with a specific core program, I have been able to progress to higher level anti-rotation and anti-extension core exercises. Bear crawl to star planks to challenge the entirety of your body with extra emphasis on your low back. Try them! Started using these with some of our clients!

Speed ladder is an amazing tool for foot quickness and coordination, but you can also use it for your upper body and with plyometric combinations.

Dynamic stretching and active range of motion stretches part 1 to open up hips and arms prior to exercising. Leg and arm swings across multiplanar movements and can be done without upper extremity support to prep for balance training. These are essential and typical when we work with our clients prior to exercise. Tomorrow we will be posting part 2! #totalbodyperformance #activerangeofmotion #rangeofmotion #legswings #armswings #inhomefitness #dynamicstretching #stretch #warmup #fullbody #healthyjoints #beforeexercise #outdoorworkout #balance #proprioception #healthy #bodyhealth #exercise #acsm #fairfieldcounty #fitgirl #fitguy #igfit #igfitness #nogymnoproblem #noequipment (at Redding, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QB72NFa1C/?igshid=ot2mcmhib7dg

Enjoy working with @janieredd over the past month. Working on general conditioning with functional bodyweight and band work as a finisher. First video is a high plank with 2 way shoulder stepouts x 8 reps, the second is banded three way step outs x 15 each direction, and lastly is a superman (or superwoman) rollover to situp x 8 reps. Not much equipment needed to get a good finisher in at the end of a session. 3 sets of each will get you sweating up a storm! #totalbodyperformance #inhomefitness #holistictraining #calisthenics #bodyweight #exercise #ejercicio #finisher #circuit #highplank #cardio #superwoman #situp #totalbodycircuit #hip #cadera #homeexercises (at New Canaan, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_No9qqF5RI/?igshid=4ijyi23bebfa
