Wrist pain. I get it. I don't have it but some folks I train do.
To aid in their comfort but not let up on some foundation core, shoulder and back strength exercises we made a minor adjustment. We stabilize our forearm / elbow on a Rogue box or a bench. I have found that putting that attention on the forearm, not digging the elbow in, and keeping the shoulder above the elbow has been most beneficial. So, stable up and give those dumbbells a row with these Pirate Row Planks. Get in motion and make it a beautiful day!
Some of my clients like to up their balance game along with their leg strength. Using a glider we started messing with a single leg squat and hip circle. Opening up the hips, strengthening the glutes and getting in motion.
The move also comes in handy if you have to move your cat out of the way. Also it may give you the confidence to pet your pet with your foot. Stabilizing on one leg and getting a big ol' belly scratch in. I like practical exercises for everyday use! Make it a beautiful day...
The title may be a bit dramatic but the Dynamic Pushup is a worthy cause. Full engagement of the core throughout the process. Shoulder stabilization during the upswing and pointing those fingertips like a thunderbolt to the sky before rolling back through to the other side...break on through to the other...
Get in motion and make it a beautiful day - no matter what the weather has to say about it!
I have chosen to move this burpee debate along with the help of a Rogue sled. Love 'em or hate 'em on your end I enjoy the burpee but have come to like much more deconstructing the movements involved. In so doing one day the sled got in the way...
Get in motion and make it a beautiful day! |
