Hip & Core is a deep dive into strengthening the core musculature and mobilizing + strengthening the hip joint.
Gone are the days of endless crunches to get that “Hershey bar” 6-pack- at least I hope they are gone…
Having strong abdominals is just one sliver of the pie when it comes to a strong core.
My goal is to take a 360 approach to core strengthening- providing better postural control, joint stabilization, generation of movement and energy transfer which is important for nearly every physical motion we go through, whether its bending over to tie your shoes, or dropping into your favorite mountain bike trail.
Over 15 sessions we will walk through dozens of exercises that get progressively more difficult, challenging the core in all planes of motion.
While the core provides the base for all athletic movement, the hip joint is a central pivot point in the human body, and they work together to support the body in all athletic endeavors.
Each session starts with a few hip mobility drills where we explore the end range of motion of different muscles of the hip, and gradually work to strengthen + increase that range of motion. From there the session moves into a circuit style workout that can be completed at home with a few key pieces of equipment, or at a gym. If you are new to the gym & working out, these one hour sessions might be the perfect start to a fitness journey, or if you’re a seasoned vet looking for new core challenges- these will fit into your schedule while still leaving time to do what’s important- have fun outside whether its on snow, water, dirt or rock.
