The 4 Best Hamstring Exercises

24/4/2019

 
Had a hamstring tear before? Or two? 

Ever wondered why you get them again and again?


Hamstring tears (or strains) are one of the most prevalent injuries in sports. More importantly however, they also have a high rate of recurrence. 
About 30% of people who suffer a hamstring tear will have a re-tear in the first year of return to sport, with subsequent tears often being worse. 
Hamstrings tears are most commonly seen in sports like soccer, basketball, football and sprinting.The hamstring muscles help to bend our knees and extend our hips backwards. 

The importance of proper rehabilitation of a hamstring tear is to obtain adequate strength to return to the demands of sport and prevent a re-tear.
The exercises in this video demonstrate just some of the progressions that are useful in hamstring tear rehabilitation. 
- Heel slide
- Tummy lying knee bend/leg lift
- Single leg eccentric bridge
- Slide back lunge
The exercises you do for rehab depend on your grade on injury/tear and what stage of your rehab you’re up to. 



Heel slide
  • Slide your heel towards your bottom and then extend your leg back out. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions
 
Tummy lying knee bend/leg lift
  • Lie on your tummy and start by bending your knee to 90 degrees, then lift the thigh up, keeping your hips in contact with the floor. Straighten your knee out and then lower back down
 
Single leg eccentric bridge
  • Push to lift your hips towards the sky (body is in line with legs). Raise your good leg, and lower down slowly on your injured leg
 
Slide back lunge
  • Standing by a door handle or some support, slide your good leg back slowly. Keep your back straight and your injured knee slightly bent. Push back up and repeat. Useful tip: wear socks on the sliding back foot

How to Bench Press with Proper Form and Technique.

18/4/2019

 
Hey guys it’s Daniel from movement 101 and today I’m going to show you a quick cue for the bench press. The most efficient technique for a bench press is keeping your shoulder blades back and down and pushing the bar away from you. Rather than thinking your pushing the bar up towards the ceiling, that tends to make people round their shoulders or use their shoulder blades. So, this movement as well and puts them out of position. Keep the shoulders back and down and press against the bench and pushing your body away from the bar. Shortens the range of motion. Making the movement more effective and efficient. So, give that cue a go, push your body away from the bar, and let me know how it goes.

Glute Stretches

5/4/2019

 
​Today we’re going to go through some glute stretches.

Exercise 1 - Standing up: 
1 - Hold onto a bar or a bench, placing one leg on top of the other.
2 - Try to sit back down into it until you can feel a stretch on your bottom. Then come back up.

Exercise 2 - Standing up: 
1 - Sit on a chair, one leg on top of the other, then push that knee out as much as you can.
2 - Gently lean forward from the trunk. You can go to a forward or a sideways direction just until you feel it in that muscle.

Exercise 3 - Lying down on a mat:
1 - Place one leg on top of the other and bring in the other knee to the chest.
2 - Try to hold your stretches for about one minute each time, three times.
