Technique Tune-Up: “Keep Your Chest Up” not working for you?

🤔 Many struggle keeping their upper spines from rounding when performing lunge, squat, or hinge movement patterns.
•
🚫 A common cue is “keep your chest up” eliciting the head up but still resulting in rounding of the spine.
•
🔑 “Keep the string tight” provides a better awareness to engage the musculature needed in the upper back area facilitating less movement
•
🔑 Imagine one end of a string is on your chest with the other on your belly button and it’s loose. “KEEP THE STRING TIGHT” throughout your movement, feeling the muscles (of your back) that facilitate the tension of the “string”.

Technique Tune-Up: Having a difficult time feeling your glutes when performing lateral walks? Try one or all three of these….
•
🍑 Start and keep your feet parallel with each other as this recruits more muscle fibers in glutes
•
🍑 Leading with your heel (slightly) keeps your feet parallel as many tend to lead with toes taking tension out of the glutes
•
🍑 Placing your hand on opposite hip (from moving leg) provides tactile feedback, minimizing side bend, ensuring your glutes initiate movement

Technique Tune-Up: A quick tip to ensure your glutes (🍑 ) are doing the work with your clam shells!

🍑 By engaging your core during your clams you ensure the gluteus medius muscle is activated.

🍑 Often it’s the spine rotating that leads to the pelvis rotating negating the purpose of the exercise.

🍑 More core equals more glutes!

Thanks to & for inviting me in to spend some time with our newer trainers!

🎨 The Art of Coaching was on the menu today. With all that is readily available at our finger tips, efficient & effective communication provides a differentiator in what a Personal Trainer provides that watching a video cannot.

🏋 Working in this industry for over 15 years I am always excited for the opportunity to pay if forward with all the I have been taught.

👊 Best of luck to all my colleagues as we continue striving in creating an environment for lasting change!

🙏I am so grateful to collaborate with through in leading another group of motivated students eager to become certified personal trainers. I had a great time learning from them as much I hope they learned from my classes.

👍While they have one more week of this 8 week course, my time with them ended with Saturday’s class. My hope was they feel confident to pass their certification exam as well to inspire those they work with to be their healthiest.

👊Best of luck! And welcome to the amazing fitness industry!
