Every Monday, we will be working on a Push Up Program aimed at improving flow/ease with this movement.

You can Sign Up to this program today by clicking HERE.

Whys: 

1. To improve shoulder mobility, stability and strength.
2. To improve core stability and posture.
3. To mobilise and improve stability around the foot and ankle
4. To mobilise the front hip to allow optimal alignment
5. Weightbearing exercises like the Push Up are important to keep both bones and muscles strong.
6. Great for sports or activities that involve a lot of shoulder stability in weightbearing such as gardening, surfing, dance, crossfit and so many more.

Common Restraining Forces In Our Body:

1. Tightness in the wrists, elbows or shoulders.
2. Tightness in the hip, knee or ankle.
