💺🐱🐮 The seated cat-cow is a great movement option for prolonged desk work and travel! ✈️🖥️ It’s a way to add spinal mobility, scapular retraction, and protraction in a pinch. Best part? You don’t need much room to do it! 🙌

✨ Try 8-10reps x 2 sets a couple times a day! Or 5-8 reps every hour you’re seated

My new favourite lower body strength and mobility exercises. Great for jiujitsu & Muay Thai 🤼‍♀️🥊 

The elevated lateral lunge & Bulgarian split squat!

We’re working into various hip ranges: flexion, extension and abduction with load to improve mobility. These exercises also help with hip and knee stability. You can try them with or without weight to start, 10 x 3 per side to get used to the movement patterns :)

Disclaimer: If you’ve been dealing with any lower body injuries, make sure get assessed by a rehab professional to develop a personalized plan

BIG congratulations to our very own Coach Loopy who won gold in his division @grapplingindustries 

What a come back after a long season off from jiujitsu. In July of 2023 he was out with a medial meniscus tear that ended up needing surgery. In Dec 2023 he had the meniscus repaired… and then began the rehab. It was an arduous journey, but if we know one thing about Alex, this man has the endurance and mental fortitude to carry on. 

Alex shows the true spirit of a martial artist. He does it all! We are so proud of you, coach 👏🏼❤️ by @cholena.h

Many sports can create imbalances in mobility and strength. While no body is perfectly symmetrical, neglecting the opposing side could lead to increased injury risk. As a striking athlete, I’ve found that thoracic mobility, rotational core strength, and posterior shoulder strength are often affected, especially if you train exclusively in an orthodox or southpaw stance. 🥊

Here are a few exercises to help address these areas:
1. Thread the Needle – Great for opening up thoracic (mid-back) rotation.
2. Bent Over Reverse Flies – Targets the upper back and posterior shoulders while engaging the core.
3. Loaded Half-Kneeling Rotations – Focuses on obliques and thoracic mobility
