#FITtipFriday Part IV of January Squat Series - Hip Mobility and Core Bracing
Learning proper breathing techniques and core bracing is a great way to protect your spine and reduce risk of injuries when adding heavy loads to your barbell squat. Practice these bracing techniques to prepare for your next heavy squat day.
Kettlebell core bracing
-keeping your back flat on the ground, breath through the abdominal to push the kettlebell up
-this is an easy way to see your Intra Abdominal Pressure
Reduce rib flair
-maintaining a neutral spine and breathing through the stomach provides more stability than a spine in extension
-remember to keep your chest down to reduce rib flair and spinal extension
Good hip mobility is key to maintaining proper form during the squat. Making sure we warm up our hips prior to lifting weight will ensure our knees track directly over our toes, maximizing our stability and performance.
Pigeon stretch
-these can be performed on most elevated surfaces such as a standard weight bench
Banded squat
-place the band just above your knees
-expand the band by pressing your knees outward
-this prevents knee valgus, keeping your knees tracking over your toes

Today’s #TechniqueTuesday is all about how we utilize BFR with aerobic exercise at F.I.T. Muscle & Joint Clinic! 💫
Maintaining a zone 1 heart rate for 5-20 minutes is key when utilizing BFR for aerobic work. This not only helps maintain muscle size and aids with recovery, but it also boosts your VO2 max without the need for an intense workout.
Walking on a treadmill, using the elliptical, rowing, cycling, and wall marches are all aerobic exercises that can be performed while using BFR.
