Ankle Mobility Yoga – 2 exercises for tight shin muscles

//  by 

Having a Patreon community allows me the opportunity to help with what people need. Rather than guessing what issues people are struggling, I ask for feedback. One query I got recently was for ankle mobility yoga. "Could you make a quick video that shows some good stretches for the ankles and the top part of the feet?". Well of course! Disclosure: Links in this post may be affiliate links. So specifically the person asked about child's pose and hero's pose where the tops of the feet and …

Fire the Posterior Chain – Interval workout #4

//  by 

There are a lot of at home workout options available online and trying to decide what works for you is important. One thing I noticed however in a lot of home workouts available is the lack of focus on the posterior chain. Lots of push ups and crunches but not much for the backside of the body, upper/lower back and the glutes/hamstrings. Let's fix that shall we? Let's fire up the posterior chain with this week's workout. Interval workout #4 from my free 31 day bootcamp. I’ve already …

3 Glute Exercises using mini bands

//  by 

This is sponsored by StarWood Sports and may also contain affiliate links. Over the last 18 months I've started to notice more and more problems with people's posture, and gait. I guess it's all part of the education process, the more I educate myself, the more issues I see. One big issue I've seen a lot is "knock-knees", which is the knees collapsing towards each other (like during squats) and when standing on one leg the opposite hip may drop also. This however can also show during walking …

Also links contained in this post may be affiliate links, because a girl has to make some cash to support the website hosting, and my …
