⁠⠀
You may have noticed a few clients within the clinic performing this exercise! But what does it do for us?🤔⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This exercise is great at retraining hip extension disassociation from the lumbar spine and pelvis, perfect for those regular walkers or runners. It strengthens your glutes, quads and hamstrings, as well as challenging your balance.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Key exercise points🤓⁠⠀
- Ensure legs are hip width apart, pelvis neutral and trunk inclined slightly forwards from the hips⁠⠀
- Extend hip and knee of the back leg, lifting the knee off the carriage as it moves out. Maintain neutral spine position and keep the front leg still⁠⠀
- Flex the hip and knee of back leg to control the return of the carriage⁠⠀
- Watch that you are not going into lumbar extension and anterior pelvic tilt with hip extension⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Progressions🔥⁠⠀
- Try having the stance leg further in front – harder to maintain lumbopelvic stability⁠⠀
- Try a foam mat or wobble board under the stance leg – challenging your base of support⁠⠀

6 Reasons to Ditch the Diet. 🍇🍏⁠ ⁠ It’

6 Reasons to Ditch the Diet. 🍇🍏⁠
⁠
It’s a new year, and many people find themselves making promises to themselves to start a new diet or lose a set amount of weight.⁠
While it is easy to slip into this pattern of starting a new diet with a new year (or month, or day) there are many reasons you should ditch the diet for good. ⁠
⁠
1. Restricting a food or food group can lead to wanting it more, and then overindulgence. Depending on the food or food group restricted, it may also lead to nutritional deficiencies. ⁠
2. Dieting can cause you to lose touch with your body’s natural satiety signalling. ⁠
3. Diets can lead to the moralisation of food or labelling of foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad. While it is true that different foods may have different nutritional profiles or benefits, all foods can fit into a balanced and healthy diet. ⁠
4. Dieting can contribute to the development of disordered eating behaviours, or an eating disorder. ⁠
5. Healthy behaviours are more likely to lead to long term improvements in health outcomes than weight loss is individually. ⁠
6. Under-fuelling your body can have a negative impact on training and performance ⁠
⁠
There are many more reasons to ditch the diet than those listed above. If you’re looking for some guidance around food or want to improve your nutritional intake but aren’t sure where to start, make an appointment with our Dietitian Alice. Appointments available through reception 👩🏼‍💻⁠
