We're feeling generous at Functional Fitness USA, here are FOUR new corrective exercises to incorporate into your work outs.
ENJOY. The first two are full body exercises to integrate body movement. The remaining two are new and fun core, ab, and back corrective exercises done with a yoga ball.
As we get closer to the end summer, we're trying to fill 30 spots at the Functional Fitness on Broadway center. We don't need 100 new members as we're not a "meat market" based facility. Our goal is to get 30 members who get the system. So we did some leg work with our wonderful Functional Fitness flyers.
It's all about the Smiley Face.
NOTICE: The smiley faces on some of the corners. If your lucky enough to find a flyer with a smiley face on it, then you can call Functional Fitness on Broadway to schedule a free 30-minute movement analysis and quick personal training session.
We hope to see you at the Broadway center, if not then please enjoy our Exercises of the Weekto enrich your work outs, wherever they may be. The new Exercises of the Week will be out on Monday. Enjoy.
This move is very complicated! Take it slow and be sure to do it in an open area where you won't fall on anything! This move is for proprioceptive agility and balance while moving through multiple planes of motion. Good for wrestlers, grapplers, any ground based martial artists, those seeking to build more awareness in a more horizontal rotational environment. Go slowly until you feel the rhythm of the move! This motion addresses hip mobility and hip stabilization, on top of abdominal stabilization. Be sure to have one leg loaded before bringing other one through!
Knees at 90 degree angle, heels on ground. Chest is lifted and abs are full of contraction. Shoulders are kept still and top of head is lifted towards ceiling. Keep elbows reaching toward the ground as you squeeze weight through a basic curl, elbow flexion. The ball doesn't move during this exercise, no fidgeting or momentum. Internally you will feel as if abs are rolling tension around the abdomen, a very good sensation! For more bicep swell, feel more pressure move through the outside part of hand, pinky finger side as you rotate the weight to palms facing up.
Belly button on ball, toes on ground, chin tucked, looking at the ground not up. Imagine being pulled up from the shoulder blades and back off neck, keeping motion small and not exaggerated, no thrusting, squeezing the muscles. Inhale during contraction and exhale on the way down. Pace is slow! Do not force, FEEL the depth of motion!
We're launching some new initiatives at Functional Fitness USA and the core of it is video. Check out our videos and learn from our trainers. More corrective movements are on the way.
