Comment "hip flexion" below and we'll DM you a link to a free short course on how to improve your hip flexion too! #onlinelearning#educationonline#elearningjourney#s killbuilding#digitaleducation#selfimprovement#online course#knowledgeispower#virtualclassroom

Effective hip extension is a cornerstone of athleticism. But you can't extend if you don't flex first. Giving yourself space to extend into during cleans is going to give you more time to put force into the bar and generate higher levels of power. Aim to turn over in the bottom when the bar is just above your knees, then extend upwards aggressively through the hips. #strengthandconditioning

Understand Hip Rotation! It’s vital to understand how our hip movement effects the rest of our body and ultimately the way we hit the ball. Take a look at this clip from a lesson for an in depth explanation!

Sometimes complex motor actions just need to be broken down into bite-sized pieces in order for a child to successfully complete it! . Practice pieces of the exercise one at a time and once your child has mastered them, start stringing them together for the full exercise. . Is your child participating in a primitive reflex program? What exercise is the most difficult? . . . #primitivereflexes #retainedprimitivereflexes #primitivereflexintegration #motorplanning

Creating movement, of various positionings allows your body to understand the capability it has and will give you necessary feedback of points of tension. With that information, it can be translated into a regimen and focusing in on those movements that you have always wanted to perform but didn't know what path to take. Here is a movement that can be performed with zero equipment. Using this movement will allow you to gain a sense of limitation in the hip flexed position, while trying to move into hip extension. Focus on getting pelvis to a neutral position with assistance from the glutes to get yourself into hip extension. Hold at the top for 3-5 seconds and slowly descend to start position.

Teaching our students to identify what hurts and then tolerating what they need to feel better is such an important life skill! So many of our students know when something is bothering them but they may not be able to articulate which part of their body hurts. So we practice! Using lots of role-play and props, we teach the students about their body parts - to name them, point to them, etc. Then, we practice choosing an item that will help make that boo-boo feel better. Knee is bleeding? Find the bandaid! Head got bumped? Get the ice pack! Practice, practice, practice!

Want to improve hip rotation, easy steps to relieve some attention. Some tips: - for those that are sitting all day focus on exercises that target hip extension. One go to is couch stretch and implementing a PAILS and RAILS method. We are stuck in a hip flexion for the majority of the day. Any lunge variation would work perfect as well. - anything involving internal and external rotation to the hips would allow more capsular movement. Performing a HIP cars either standing or side-lying ( based on experience) - lastly, maintaining these movements in a periodized manner will improve what you haven’t longing for. All movements should last 15-20 minutes. More questions, reach out and let’s connect
