Active Evolution Training

Your hips are CRAVING this move! Calling out my jiu jitsu friends first - I KNOW your hips are tight from the very nature of being a ground game. Next up, if you are sitting a lot of the day - from office chair to car to couch - your body needs this loaded stretch. And now that I think about it, my deadlifting and squatting beasts, running friends, and pretty much anyone who has hip flexors… I bet you’ll thank me.

Mechanical note: you can allow more bend in the knee as needed.

Logistics: can be done over a regular weightlifting bench; kettlebell can be subbed for a dumbbell

Progression: do without a weight anchoring the foot

Training my lifelong sister who is also an amazing strength coach! I always say great teachers are forever students. I also hire coaches, study, research, and am in constant inquiry with this beautiful instrument called BODY. Here’s my PSA to say - We all have something special to offer each other… and never stop learning, no matter how far you go in your craft!💞

If your knees get sore from jiu jitsu, running, lifting… you’ve got to work the lower leg muscles! I see a lot of athletes doing great knee rehab drills but completely sleeping on tibialis. This can be a humongous missing link to genuinely changing how your knees support you. Pain down, performance up. Give it a try, let me know how you feel!
