We hope everyone had a grrrrreat long weekend!
As coaches in the gym, we want to guide you through lessons that teach you to move your body effectively in relation to fitness, however; what is most important to us is for you to also learn how to also apply these techniques in everyday situations, allowing you to sustain a much longer and healthier life.
And speaking of learning… We live in a time where just about everything can be found in the palms of our hands. There is tons of extremely useful information on the internet, we just have to learn how to take proper advantage of it!! As coaches, we are here to help you out not only in the gym, but we are also here to guide you on what articles/webpage/blogs you should be reading to help you further increase your movement and mechanics. We can’t move for you, so it is important to take the extra step to make the overall learning process that much easier as proper movement doesn’t happen overnight…. But wouldn’t that be nice!!!
Here’s an easy start. This is a quick video of one of my favourite online publishers, The Barbell Physio. For those of you who are guilty of having a “Quad Dominant Squat”, this definitely applies to you:
The article attached to the video (http://www.thebarbellphysio.com/testing-hips-core-push-press/) doesn’t go on to explain a whole lot on how to fix the issue, but it tells you what’s wrong and that can sometimes be a great place to start. If you have any of those listed squat issues, then perhaps you’ll even be curious enough to want to fix them… Asking us how is a great place to start!
