Pickering FIT

🎶 On the 9th Day of Fitmas, Recreation Pickering gave to me... 🎄💪 Psoas March with Band!

🔥 How to:
1️⃣ Loop a resistance band around both feet, ensuring it is secure.
2️⃣ Lie flat on your back with your arms resting at your sides or pressed into the floor for stability.
3️⃣ Lift both legs to a tabletop position (knees bent at 90 degrees, shins parallel to the ground).
4️⃣ Engage your core to prevent your lower back from arching.
5️⃣ Keep one leg stable while slowly extending the other leg straight out, maintaining tension in the band. Alternate legs.

✨ Benefits:
✔️ Targets the psoas muscle for lifting and stabilizing the legs
✔️ Strengthens hip flexors and core
✔️ Helps correct anterior pelvic tilt for better posture
Who’s ready to march into strength? 💪🎁

On the 6th Day of Fitmas, Pickering Fit gave to me... 🎄💪 Half Get Up!

🔥 How to:
1️⃣ Lie on your back with one knee bent and the same-side foot flat on the floor.
2️⃣ Hold a kettlebell or dumbbell in one hand, extended straight above your shoulder.
3️⃣ Extend your opposite arm on the floor at a 45-degree angle.
4️⃣ Press through your grounded foot and supporting arm to lift your torso off the floor, coming to a seated position while keeping the weight overhead.
5️⃣ Pause in the half-upright position, with your weight-bearing arm fully extended and eyes focused on the weight.

✨ Benefits:
✔️ Encourages active hip flexibility and control
✔️ Enhances overhead stability and control of the shoulder joint
