Happy Father’s Day to All Total Form Fitness White Plains Dads #westchester #happyfathersday
THERE’S NOTHING LIKE the satisfaction of approaching Machu Picchu on one’s own two feet, which is why the classic Inca Trail hike has become so popular in recent years.
Nothing like a 1 min plank on top of the famous mountain. #personaltrainerwestchester #personaltrainerwestchestercountyny #fairviewcountryclub @quakerridgegolfshop @westchestermagazine @totalformfitnesswp @westchesterblogger
Prolonged sitting and activities like running jogging and cycling can lead to tight hip flexors and muscle imbalances which contribute to low back pain. Tight hip flexors create an anterior pull on the pelvis known as an anterior pelvic tilt. This alters posture and also inhibits, or turns off, the opposing muscle group, the gluteus maximus, leading to muscle imbalances. Microspasms or trigger points often develop in the overused/tight muscles like the hip flexors.
Video shows few stretches and strengthening exercises that can help you loosen up hip flexors and improve your butt muscles strength .
The anatomical term “posterior” refers to the backside of the #body. Thus, the phrase, “posterior chain,” refers to the muscles of the backside of the body, specifically the low back, gluteals, hamstrings and calf #muscles.
Posterior-chain exercises involve contracting and lengthening the muscles in a chain-like manner. This is important for athletic movements that require strength, flexibility and fluidity to properly jump, rotate, lift or land.
#Training the chain can also help to reduce possible injury caused by weak or improperly functioning muscle groups. In addition, a strong posterior chain contributes to a strong #core musculature, which reduces #back pain and low-back injury, while also facilitating coordination and strength through the limbs. @westchestermagazine @westchesterblogger @bramblesgolf @totalformfitnesswp @businesscouncilofwestchester
