Movement: Single Leg Hip Extension

By | Movements | No Comments

Use this move to work balance and symmetry for your hips & lower body.

We recommend using body weight only as part of a dynamic warm-up with 2-3 sets of 5-6 reps. For strength/balance add weight and perform 3-4 sets of 5-8 reps.

Bonus if you can do this barefoot to engage foot proprioception.

Movement: Balance Lunge Complex

By | Movements | No Comments

Use this series as an active warm-up or as part of your strength plan to stay balanced and strong in all planes of motion.

Mobility and movement in all planes of motion are critical for any athlete to reduce the risk of injury. This movement series hits every ROM for the lower body while also improving balance. We recommend 2-3 sets of 4-5 reps with body weight as a warm-up. For your workout hold a kettle bell or dumbbell and do 3-4 sets of 4-6 reps

Note: reverse, forward, lateral, kosach = one rep.

Add this to your current strength training plan to build power for running downhill. It can be superset with any other leg movement or done on it’s own.

We recommend 3-4 sets of 5-6 reps

Tip: be sure to rebound and jump as high as you can, and be sure to land softly when you step off the bench/box.
