Improve Your Squat Mobility With These Simple Squat Mobility Exercises

By Sally · Comments (0)
Wednesday, December 21st, 2022

I frequently hear people in gyms claim that they aren’t “mobile” enough to squat all the way down. They quit squatting as a result, and miss out on all the potential benefits squatting and squat-related exercises can offer.

Due to the added difficulty getting into or holding the proper position, mobility limits in the wrists, shoulders, hip mobility and hip flexion, and ankles can limit the advantages a lifter can obtain from squats.

Squat mobility issues can also make it less enjoyable for a lifter to practise these squat depth techniques, which can lead to frustration, discomfort, or even pain and injury.

Below we’ll go through the best exercises to improve your squat mobility and overall strength training, and feel free to follow along with me in the video! With these squat mobility exercises, you’ll have improved your deep squat position in no time!

4 Exercises to improve pull up strength

By Sally · Comments (0)
Wednesday, December 14th, 2022

Pull-ups are a fantastic exercise for gaining muscle and upper body strength. However, there’s a reason why so few people are able to pull off this remarkable strength feat and are unable to complete enough repetitions to fully leverage the muscle-building effects of this exercise.

Pull-ups work a variety of muscles, including the biceps, rhomboids, rear deltoids, and other minor muscles, in addition to the lats, which are the largest muscle in the back. They are therefore an excellent approach to develop the posterior side of the upper body with just one exercise.

Pull-ups aid in developing back muscles, shoulder retractors, and arm strength. They can strengthen your grip while also doing wonders for your posture. Additionally, if you ever felt like changing things up a bit, you may utilise different variations to change the focus on various muscles, for simply shifting your grip position.

Follow along with me using this YouTube video as we practise some exercises to improve pull up strength together!

The 4 Best Core Exercises For Beginners (With Variations)

By Sally · Comments (0)
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2022

It’s true what they say: the “six-pack” can contribute to an efficient core workout. But when it comes to core training, having washboard abs isn’t everything—at least not in terms of performance and function!

Core stability and strength can refer to various things depending on the situation. It includes numerous muscle groups and planes of motion, all of which cooperate to either oppose undesirable trunk movement in response to an external force, to transfer force from the lower to the upper body, or to serve as a stable base from which to move the arms and legs during athletic efforts.

Having strong core muscles isn’t just important for strength, practising these core strengthening exercises is vital for optimal performance throughout fitness and ideal for maintaining spine and back health. So without further ado, let’s get to it with our 4 best core exercises for beginners!
