This week's movement of the week is a RIP Trainer Single Leg Deadlift.
Moving slowly & prioritizing your very best posture will be the key to your success this week! Creating tension through your upper back is crucial to the overall stability you will be working to develop while performing this movement. Be sure to pull the 'dowel' apart with your hands and keep the center of the 'dowel' in line with your sternum. This should help you keep the resistance balanced throughout the body. You will also want to make sure the resistance band is on the same side as the leg that extends off the floor & behind you. This will create stability on each side of your body. The lower body will be engaged with the floor & the upper body engaged with the RIP trainer = Cross-Connection! Here's your checklist: 1. Strong Unilateral Stance 2. Pull the 'dowel' apart with your hands with a lot of strength. 3. Hinging from the hips allowing the back leg to raise off the ground. 4. Maintain neutral hips, strong abdominals & mid-back. 5. Control your body as you move. We are so very excited to let you know that we are releasing our Plant-Based Meal Plan.

Join us here: https://www.wilcoxwellnessfitness.com/kickstart.html This week's movement of the week is a Dumbbell Pendulum w/ Band Row
Patience will be your key this week as you wait for the dumbbell to 'float' forward until it reaches shoulder height before standing up out of your squat. As always, your starting position will be crucial to your ability to coordinate your body in sequence. Start by pulling the floor apart with your feet, elevating your ribs away from your hips & finding your very best posture. As the pendulum moves down and behind you, rotate towards that side. As it starts to move forward, allow the dumbbell to travel all the way to shoulder height without changing your body's position. As the dumbbell moves up towards the ceiling you will straighten your legs, and rotate towards the band side while rowing. Remember to take some time early in the week to 'feel' the end positions - the squat rotated towards the dumbbell side & the standing row positioning with the dumbbell overhead. Creating familiarity with these two positions will help you learn where to keep tension in your body to succeed this week. Here's your checklist: 1. Strong bilateral stance, pulling the floor apart 2. Allow the dumbbell to become a pendulum, utilize the momentum to lead your movement 3. Maintain strong abdominals & mid-back posture 4. Stand tall at the top, ensuring your shoulder blade depresses slightly (NO SHRUGS) 5. Control Your Body As You Move!!!!

We will be utilizing the hard work we put in last week with the kneeling row to initiate this movement & finish it up by rotating the feet and 'pull to press'.
When you perform the Stepping Row, you will use the lats, obliques and an explosive step. The tendency, because the band is in your hand, to pull with the hand & the bicep. This is not good for many reasons, the biggest being that the stability of your shoulder is compromised. So, elevate your posture, and brace your abdominals so that your obliques & your lats do the majority of the 'rowing' motion. Secondly, you will now use the technique of rotating your feet (just like we do in the Pre-Training Full Body Rotation) to initiate the Rotating Press motion. It is crucial that the timing of this sequence is fluid. Rotate the feet, rotate the torso, pull from the empty hand & finally press the band. On the way back, you just reverse the movement under control back to the start. Stay elevated throughout, and use your breathing to help expand your ribcage & your body will naturally perform this movement.....believe it or not!!! Here's your checklist: 1. Strong Unilateral Stance, Pulling with the Front Foot 2. Use a powerful step back in combination with a rotation from your obliques and lats. 3. Rotate your feet (A LOT) & Pull to Press 4. Check in on your footwork, elevation, and posture after each step 5. Control your body as your reverse the order of movements back to the beginning. |
