Trail Strong Move of the Week – Week Seven

All of these moves are geared toward helping you build and strengthen your muscles, ligaments, and bones to become even stronger on the trail. That including walking, hiking, and running! So fun for everyone. ⛰

🦘 Standing Single Leg Knee Drive 🦘
How To:
– Stand with feet should-width apart, toes forward.
– Place one foot back with toes lightly touching the floor.
– That same side arm will be swung back as the other arm will be in front in a 90* angle (think what you arms look like when you are running).
– Drive knee forward coming to 90 degree hold in front.
– Keep grounded in your stable leg.
– Pause and squeeze glutes.
– Bring leg back to starting position behind you; squeeze glute and reset.
– Repeat
Tips:
– Keep core engaged
– This can test your balance. Don’t do next rep until fully stable.
– Goal: keep body fully aligned
– Modify: do without band
– Level Up: increase band resistance or add weights in hands
– PS: this is a great mobility movement
Reps:
– 8 to 12 with at least 2 sets (each side)
What’s Going to Burn:
– Quads
– Glutes
– Hamstrings
– Calves
– Core

📣 PSA: I film the moves after I do them during my morning workout. So yes, my hair is crazy, I’m sweaty, I have no makeup on, and I don’t give AF! You get me real and raw because that’s who I am. Embrace being you in your own skin! 💖
