Monday Movement✨

Happy Monday!! It’s been so chilly I had to wear sweatpants over my set!!!😭

I’ve actually been dealing with back issues over the last few days.. I’ve been trying to take it easy while still getting in movement (probably not the best idea)

So here’s what a leg day looks like while I’m slightly in pain 🥲:

Hip Thrusts

Smith Machine RDLs

Leg Curls

Machine Glute Kickbacks

(Finish with 3x25 bicycle crunches and 3x10 leg raises)

Wrap it up with a 15min light incline walk — we’re talking 5.5 incline and 3.1 speed.

Have a great rest of your Monday! Give yourself a hug, the Monday scaries are real 😅

... Read moreAs the week begins, many individuals seek ways to enhance their fitness routines while managing discomfort or fatigue. Incorporating light exercises can aid in recovery, especially for those with back issues. Focusing on low-impact strength training and mobility work can keep you active without exacerbating pain. Recommended exercises include hip thrusts, which target the glutes effectively while maintaining core stability. Smith machine RDLs (Romanian Deadlifts) are another great option, promoting strength in the posterior chain while being gentle on the back. For overall leg development, leg curls can enhance hamstring strength, ensuring a balanced lower body workout. Additionally, machine glute kickbacks can further isolate glute activation, critical for building strength and muscular endurance. To round out your routine, consider adding core stability exercises like bicycle crunches and leg raises. An incline walk on the treadmill can serve as a fantastic cooldown, allowing you to maintain heart health while easing into movement. Remember to listen to your body and prioritize recovery to prevent injuries. Ultimately, embracing a self-care approach to fitness can foster sustainable progress in your health journey, making every Monday a fresh start!

Movement ideas- for when you just don’t want to
☀️ Tiny movements that shift everything: – Walk to a chosen spot + back 4 times – Check your mail – Stretch it out – Pace your room with a drink in hand The goal isn’t a workout. It’s about getting unstuck, moving your energy, and reminding yourself you’re alive + thriving in the moment. #mo
