June - Trail Month
For the month of June, we will be working on getting ourselves trail ready. We will post a new stretch and a new strengthening exercise each week on this page and on our Facebook and Instagram platforms. Check out our stretches and moves all month and keep yourself safe out on your adventures.
For week one, we are stretching out our quads with a standing stretch that can be done anywhere. Then we are keeping our hips (and knees) happy with a lateral hip strengthener.
This week, we are stretching our hamstrings and again, this standing stretch can be done anywhere. We are also working on a variation of a squat that helps strengthen our legs in multiple planes.
Does your low back get cranky out on the trail? Try this hinge stretch to get some relief. Then strengthen the hips and core with this banded exercise to keep your back and knees healthy as you blaze the trail.
For our final week of Trail Month, we have one, final standing stretch. This one opens up your sides which can start to feel compressed after a long day out. We are also working on our cores with a banded exercise.
