Day 2: Standing Calf stretch Tightness in your calves or behind your knees could possibly lead to achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. To avoid this, try the standing calf stretch with your toes elevated 🚶. In order to hammer the gastrocnemius, keep your legs straight as you slowly lower your heels off the edge of a step or curb. If the tightness is lower above your ankles then we need to target the deeper soleus muscle, which when tight can lead to several issues in the feet. To target the soleus, keep the knee bent while repeating the same movement off of the elevated surface.

We've got five days of stretches for you runners! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
Day 1: Couch Stretch
Feeling sore/tight in the hip or groin after running 👟? Try the couch stretch to elongate the iliopsoas and rectus femoris, aka the hip flexors, after each run to help with performance and recovery. Start in a kneeling position, with your glutes engaged, drive your hip forward to feel a stretch in the front of your hip on the side of your knee touching the ground. To create a triplanar stretch, add rotation and lateral flexion to the side of the high knee. Switch legs and repeat 6-8 times in each direction.

Golf season is here! Don’t let your old golf injuries keep you from bombing it down the fairway🏌️⛳️
Core strengthening is an intricate part of golf rehab (and prehab) and an important part of creating club head speed and distance on the golf ball.
Pallof press is an exercise that we use at FIT to teach neutral spine mechanics with core activation. The Pallof press is performed with rotation away from the band and pushing your arms out in front of you at belly height. Add this exercise to your workouts or golf warmup and improve your core activation in your swing!

Getting ready to lift overhead OR lift lower body?
Let’s give you an effective and efficient warm up that will get you ready for BOTH! 💪 Enter the deep squat + thoracic rotation. Here’s a quick step-by-step breakdown:
-Get to the bottom of your squat position, ideally with lower back flat, chest upright, neck neutral, and entire feet flat on floor (put plates under heels as needed to help with ankle mobility issues – side note, we have a post for that too! 😉)
-From this “happy baby” position with arms inside knees while grasping around ankles, rotate to open your chest toward the ceiling on one side and let your arm follow as you reach -Think of turning your CHEST toward the ceiling
–Don’t just flap your arm behind you! Spot your target!
-While you’re turning and reaching, keep your knees tracking over mid foot to open your hips up
-Return to start and repeat on other side, completing 5-10 reps each side
