Friday plank
@misslucy_lou always likes to be involved.. . . .
Back to a barrecore class today
. . It’s another birthday next week, (in my 60’s) which reminds me that as we get older it’s important to keep fit, healthy and mobile. For mind and body. Even if the exercise is only a 20 minute brisk walk a day. Exercise should be a minimum of 3 times a week. . . […]
Morning fitness
More agility exercises after the HIIT boxing with a trainer and pads. Would have worn a different sports bra and top if I’d known what I was going to be filmed doing! Too much jiggling flesh I feel! … . @sportsperformance86 thank you x . . . .
Sweaty and definitely no filters
Thank you @jamiebuckley5234 for the best dance fitness class ever with the funniest running commentary. Laughter and dance are the best feelgood combination even in tropical temperatures and no aircon as the class is in the local community centre. . . . . .
Zumba class
First dance class after many months. . . . .
Modified side plank exercise
This is an easier version of the plank. This is a good alternative plank strengthening exercise, especially after a knee injury as there is no pressure or strain on the knees holding in this position when the core or glutes and hamstrings are still weak. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio
2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller
Basic table top toe taps to engage the core, glutes and lower abdominals. Using the foam roller in this position can help stop the hip flexors coming into action too when the core is still weak. . . . . .
Physio pilates rehab
Basic core and glute strengthening exercise. Alternate leg lifts, transferring weight from leg to leg engaging glutes whilst pulling down on a taut band. This helps engage the core. With thanks to @bh_beyondhealth
Back to pilates rehab exercises
Strengthening the core, glutes and hamstrings. With thanks to @bh_beyondhealth With even the simplest exercise it’s important for the body to be correctly aligned for the exercise to be targeting the muscles properly.
Waking up the glutes
When in rehab after a knee ligaments injury and little or no exercise for weeks- it’s best to get the basic core strength muscles activated before launching back into the same advanced levels of exercise as before. Repetitions increase daily. The instructions are in the video voice-over together with my actions. With thanks to Tessa […]
