the first time a physical therapist saw what my ribs look like laying down, she was VERY surprised to hear that no, I have not been pregnant yet 😅🤣

did you know that being a dancer (or anything similar) growing up and being told to “suck in” or “belly button in and up” can lead to a rib flare as an adult?

I spent my life, from age 3 to 20, in the dance studio almost every single day of the week. Yes, we did core workouts ALL the time, but I don’t recall everrrrr being taught the correct way to hold my core, especially during ab workouts.

improper breathing/pressure management/core posture (for years) → rib flare → air hunger & anxiety as an adult

& that’s a wholeeeee other topic we could discuss 👀

but the point of this post: set your ribs stacked on your hips before starting any core exercise! my favorite cue is the pretend your blowing air into a balloon. it works like a charm 🌟

a wedding photographer (hi @lizfosterphoto) telling me to stand up straight when I was already standing as straight as I possibly could is all the ammo I needed to take my posture exercises seriously LOL😭😭😭

I know in today’s world, tech neck and poor posture is so prevalent but add hypermobility onto that? simply a recipe for disaster 🥲

a couple cues:
🩷 do not let the ribs flare; take a deep breath in and blow out as if you’re blowing into a balloon before even starting the exercise. get those ribs in the correct position FIRST
🩷 keep your body as close to the wall as possible! if you lack rotation in your shoulders (most likely due to being a hypermobile shrimpy in your chair all day), this will be HARD but worth it!!!

I try to do this exercise at LEAST once a week if not multiple times

fight the shrimp allegations with me🍤🍤🍤

not only did the yoga block/band hack change my LIFE, now learning I can use a towel as a neck brace to give my neck & head some relief during the day is unmatched 😭🥹🩷

if you’re a hypermobile girly like me, you know it’s very hard to find true relief in our bodies. our bodies are naturally working overtime just to keep us upright, so taking breaks in between my work day to do little hacks like this helps me tremendously

for context:
✨ band: helps keep your knees from flopping out towel the sides
✨ yoga block: keeps hips and knees in alignment
✨ towel as neck brace: allows your neck to be in alignment and held up to relax your very exhausted neck muscles

I hope this helps just one person to find a bit of comfort in their hypermobile body 🩷🫂

this one’s for my girlies with a 9-5 desk job who sit like a shrimp and/or the hypermobile girlies whose head feels like 1000lbs lol

taking breaks in between my client check-ins to do thoracic expansion has quite literally changed my life

less headaches, more control, less being a shrimp 🍤🤣

coathanger pain is no joke, try this (& the other exercises in my coathanger pain relief series) on your next work day 🤸‍♀️🩷✨

oh and! your carb intake should be more than your protein intake!
~
I feel like it’s a never-ending struggle to fight the inner thoughts in my head around food due to how food was portrayed in my family growing up, but instead of giving in and allowing those thoughts to win, I embrace every meal as a new opportunity to actively give my body what it needs

to nourish my body

to treat it with kindness

to give it whole foods and fiber and nutrients and sweet treats

which are you doing? are you punishing your body for being hungry, for having cravings, needing carbs?

or are you honoring it, nourishing it, and loving it during each meal? 🩷

food for thought ✨🍓🤸‍♀️

rotation & stability are at the CORE of my training ever since I got a hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) diagnosis!

when I started implementing exercises like this into my strength routine, everything started feeling stronger and more in alignment. which is crazy because I did the typical “body building style” heavy lifting type of training for nearly a decade without realizing I was hypermobile, which led to intense fatigue and the feeling of needing a nap after a lift 🥲

who knew body weight stability exercises could make you SHAKE just as much as a 200 lb hip thrust when done correctly 🤣 (hint: it’s because my stability muscles are weak af lol- im working on them!!)

meetings will be the death of me seriously 💀

walking on my walking pad or sitting with my yoga block between my legs is the oooonly way I am ✨somewhat✨ comfortable

I thought standing (even for short periods of time!) was uncomfortable for everyone… until I discovered my hypermobility 🥲
