Moov Through Midlife

You don’t need any fancy equipment to get stronger and build muscle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A few dumbbells and/or kettlebells is all you really need! 🙌🏽

And if you struggle to know what weights you need to get started with strength training 👉🏽 Let me help…🤗

I have a video guide I can send you if you comment “HELP”.

Hope this inspires you to get mooving at home. 🤗

Did you know your breath is the key to unlocking tension in your body…🔓

Master diaphragmatic breathing first and then build on that with good, postural positioning and movement. 🌬️

3 things Diaphragmatic Breathing can do for you…

• reduce stress and anxiety 📉
• reduce tension 🤸🏼
• improve sleep 😴

If you’d like to know how it feels to use your breath properly and feel less tension…👇🏽

Comment “BREATH” for my free Diaphragmatic Breathing Guide. 🫶🏽

Your muscles react better to lengthening under load than just basic static stretching. 😉

So if you suffer from tight hamstrings, try these three exercises.

👉🏽 standing hip hinge
👉🏽 single leg deadlift
👉🏽 stiff legged deadlift

They can all be done with just your bodyweight or progress to holding weights in your hands.

Sometimes tight muscles are weak and need to be loaded through their full range. 🫶🏽

Comment “hinge” for my instructional video of the hip hinge. 🎥

The single leg deadlift is the exact same movement but you’re on one leg and the other leg straightens out behind you. 👍🏽

The stiff legged deadlift is exactly the same movement, except your legs stay a bit straighter, so the pull is on your lower hamstrings, whereas the pull on the hip hinge is more on the attachment of your Hamstrings at the pelvis. 👍🏽

Doing all 3 versions will compliment your hamstring mobility. 👌🏽

Just be sure to keep your pelvis tilted forward to keep your back flattened for all 3 versions. 😉

Hope this helps. 🫶🏽
