Stretches before workout-Anterior Hip Stretch with Tubing

Secure thick tubing to something that won't move. Place tube around leg high near groin area. Move the leg forward to create tension in the tubing. Then when the tubing pulls the leg backwards, you will feel the stretch in the anterior hip and hip flexor.

Weight lifting classes-Shoulder Cross Lateral Reach

Cross lateral reach at overhead. Allow the hips to translate through space with the shoulder overhead reach.

Exercise for weight loss-lat pull with tubing

Rubberized tubing is another way to weight train. Different color tubing represents different amounts of weight. Some are equal to or more than 100lbs! Alternate cable pull downs on a machine with pull downs using tubing. It’s a great workout and easier on the joints. Start with your arms extended and pull down toward your chest. Squeeze your shoulder blades together. Use a slow rate of speed to feel the motion and connect your mind to the muscles.

Weight lifting workout plan-Single Leg Bridge

Lay on your back, knees bent at 90* degrees and heels on bench. Point toes toward the ceiling. Lift hips into bridge and squeeze glutes, then lower down but don't touch the floor all the way-lift again. Bent knee bridging is a great way to build strength in the posterior chain and supporting low back structures.
