PUSH-UPS… Do you love OR hate them? ❤️⛔️ Its both for me; a love-and don’t-love -so-much relationship. 🧐Truth. I’m just not push-up strong. 💪🏻My goal is to change that by practicing doing 15 push-ups every day for the next 30 days. 😍And of course, I challenged my clients inside AMC’s membership course, Healthy Moms’ Hangout. Together we are going to get push-up strong and embrace our love of this powerhouse core strengthening exercise. Want to join us for the challenge? Here’s a quick instructional video to execute push-ups with best form. 😁 ~Coach C #pushupchallenge #15pushups #activemomsclub

Every week in training, I give my clients one functional move to master. 💪🏻 This week inside AMC’s 30-Day Fitness Challenge, we are working on HIP HINGES … Many think that a squat is a hip hinge… kinda sorta… but there is a BIG difference in terms of mechanics. 🧐To set yourself up with ideal form for a hip hinge, grab a broom (or other long straight object) and place it along your backside. Think about sending your hips back to the wall behind you… … your broom needs to stay in contact with 3 points on your body: 1️⃣ head, 2️⃣ between shoulder blades 3️⃣ on your butt This ensures your spine is in neutral. HINT: this is also an ideal way to pick up your children, boxes, laundry baskets, dumbbells😉. NOTICE my form change when I squat (kettlebell is at my chest). For a squat there is ankle flexion and your knees/lower leg press forward as hips hinge back. > > > There is minimal ankle flexion in a hip hinge, lower leg stays relatively neutral. 👉🏻Practice your hip hinge mechanics … how do they feel for you? #fitnesstipformoms #hiphinges
