Home Exercises for Knee Issues | ⁣ ⁣ I’m a fan of the more muscular trend for women for one major reason and it’s not about aesthetics, it’s about function.⁣ ⁣ Given that the muscles of the posterior thigh, particularly your hamstring family effect two muy importantes joints for getting around town (the hip and the knee) I think it’s also may importantes that they are strong. ⁣ ⁣ The heroin-chic look of the 90’s with zero muscularity on a girls body (particularly her legs), is not conducive for healthy, moving, well-functioning joints – to me, that’s anti-feminist.⁣ ⁣ Your hamstrings (a family of 3) help to mainly extend the hip and flex the knee, but they have other jobs too including external rotation of leg (biceps femoris) internal rotation at the knee joint (semimebranosis and semitendinosus) ⁣ ⁣ Ok but why am I including all this anatomical information?⁣ ⁣ 1. The more you know about your body, the more you can make educated choices about what to do with it. ⁣ ⁣ 2. Your hamstrings cover two joints and when you complain about your niggling knee pain, your hamstrings could well be contributing. Particularly given that they attach to the tibia and fibula bones (your leg bones below the knee). ⁣ ⁣ Weak hamstrings can effect the knee joint AND the hip joint causing problems pain and injury.⁣ ⁣ The exercises shown here actually work your butt too but have an emphasis on the hamstrings:⁣ ⁣ 1. Stiff Leg KB Deadlift: I’m mobile in my hamstrings and in my hips, so I can maintain a neutral spine, go into deep hip flexion and keep my legs relatively straight – loading up my hamstrings nicely as I deadlift.⁣ ⁣ 2. SL Hip Thrust: Both a glute and hamstring exercise as it is loading hip extension. Just make sure you place the foot of your working leg further forward if you want to emphasise the hamstring work here. ⁣ ⁣ 3. Swiss Ball Leg Curl: This knee flexing exercise burns the hamstrings, but also requires that you can stabilise your pelvis and spine with core and glute muscles. It can also be performed with towels on a wooden floor or sliders on carpet. ⁣ ⁣ Drop more Q’s below.

About 5 years ago, I thought up the term “effortlessly lean” for what I believed at the time was everyone’s goal in fitness. I had started learning about the role of habits in long-term behavior change – thus, I reasoned that if I could teach people how to master the right habits, everyone could learn how to stay effortlessly lean for life. My plans included creating a product/e-book and making that message a primary component of my brand. ⁣ ⁣ Let me say that I'm so glad I did not move in that direction. Because here are some things I’ve learned since then: ⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣Getting and staying lean comes much easier to some than to others. Some people are predisposed to carry a little more body fat (and further, carry body fat in different areas of their body), and also hunger, appetite, non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), and even enjoyment of exercise are largely rooted in our genetics (as well as environment, of course – this is a complex topic that I won’t dive into here). So even though I would say that yes, being lean is effortless FOR ME, I fully get that it is not the case for many. To market the idea that anyone can achieve lower levels of body fat and have an easy time doing so is misleading and unethical. ⁣ 2️⃣If your main goal with fitness is solely to get lean, you’re missing the point entirely. There is a time and a place to pursue fat loss if that’s what you want, but achieving lower body fat levels can come with a slew of negative side effects for many, including but not limited to an increase in disordered eating symptoms and behaviors and decrease in quality of life. Having a peaceful relationship with food and your body and living your healthiest, happiest life possible does not have to include shedding body fat. ⁣ ⁣ This is false advertising at best. ⁣ ⁣ Being fit, healthy, and happy has to do with so, so much more than the way you look. You’re absolutely allowed to be proud of your body – and I hope you are! – but don’t neglect your well-being in the process. Being healthy and happy LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE, and it's important to respect that. 🥰⁣ ⁣ #eatliftthrive⁣

Shoulders are my favorite to work because you get pumped af and leave the gym feeling like Arnold and shit 💪🏽 I like to start with a couple of heavy movements and then rep it out for the last 2. Four exercises for shoulders is more than enough if you’re doing it right. After the first one you won’t be able to raise your arms 😵 : 4 sets 10 reps – Military Press 4 sets 12 reps – Arnold Press 4 sets 10 reps each side – front raise 4 sets 15 reps – reverse pec deck : : #fit #mondaymotivation #fitness #fitfam #shoulderworkout #arms #beautiful #dedication #wod #workoutoftheday #exercise #gainz #bodybuilding

How to master a skill: 1. Establish a well defined goal of what you want to accomplish (long term goal- several months/years in the making) 2. Break the big goal down into small well defined goals (short term goals- weekly/daily work) 3. Follow a practice plan (commit 💯 to your plan) 4. Give each small step your full attention (don’t half ass your work) 5. Get regular feedback from a master (for accountability and to make sure you are on the right track) 6. Continue to challenge yourself outside your comfort zone (always strive for the next level) 🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ www.katiesonier.com

This is how I burn fat 🔥 If I have the time, I like to switch up my short HIIT sessions and massively extend the rest periods but keeping total working time the same 💪 ⠀ ⠀⠀ Classic HIIT is a super efficient method, but I’ll talk a lot more about the difference between efficiency and effectiveness and show you what I mean in Monday’s YouTube video ☺️❤️ ⠀ ⠀⠀ The structure here is 20s of working, 100s of rest (2 minutes total per set) x5 of each exercise before moving onto the next one! The rest: work ratio is a lot higher here which lets you put out a lot more, so you gotta go for it! 🙌 ⠀ ⠀⠀ I never stress the eating side of things much and instead make things happen by allowing myself to train with high output 🙏 Until Monday’s video, I hope you love the workout and enjoy a little of everything if you’re celebrating this weekend! 🤗 ⠀ ⠀⠀ Swipe and save if you’d like more workout swipes! 😘 ⠀ ⠀⠀ 💪 Step up box transfers (20s on, 100s rest x5) ⠀ ⠀⠀ 💪 Lateral bounds (20s on, 100s rest x5) ⠀ ⠀⠀ 💪 Forward bounds (20s on, 100s rest x5) ⠀ ⠀⠀ 💪 Ankle jumps (20s on, 100s rest x5) ⠀ ⠀⠀ The song is @janellemonae – I Like That 🙌 If you wanna treat yourself, listen to the lyrics 💛

B-STANCE VARIATIONS🤓💪🏼 – Read below! Don’t forget to like ♥️ to support my content! Thank you 🙏🏼 – B-stance is a staggered stance. Notice my foot positioning in each of these lifts. A staggered stance allows the exercise to primarily become more unilateral focused. This stance provides much more stability than traditional unsupported ‘single leg’ movements. Both feet are still in contact with the floor so therefore increased stability during the movements. – B-stance is great for beginners through to advanced lifters who are wanting to focus on building muscle and want to overload without worrying to much about balance becoming the limiting factor. It leads to greater load with better quality reps. – – 🔻Hip thrust – B-stance allows for more of the load to be placed on your back leg, so one side is still of the glutes is still primarily doing most of the work. Position your feet so that the toes of the back foot are aligned with the heel of the front foot. I’ve been incorporating this variation a lot into my client programs. – 🔻Good morning & Romanian Deadlift – This stance also works really well for hip hinge movements like Good mornings & RDLs where the tension is greater in the stretched position. – – Enjoy!♥️ – Outfit: @ryderwear Neonude collection! LAUREN10 is my code! Shoes: @diamondkicks_au 😱💎

I am a person who wants to do a lot of things, trapped in the body of a person who wants to sleep a lot. 🙈 Waking up for this sunrise wasn’t easy for me, and I almost went back to sleep when my alarm went off, but man oh man, was it worth it. 😉 As I sleepily took in these hypnotic colors, I couldn’t help but realize that the best moments in life, feel even better when you earn them by overcoming your own resistance to the experience. 🙌🏻 Wonder where else in my life this could apply? 🤔 .

I ordered the @amazonfashion Core 10, Race Day leggings because of the color + fit, but the waistband is why I can’t shut up about them. First of all, all of y’all with jiggly bellies know the struggle of keeping your pants up while exercising. And once my pants slide below my belly, I inevitably spend the rest of my workout in a wrestling match with my waistband. However, when I ordered these leggings, I had no idea that there was a drawstring embedded in the waistband and now I’m forever changed. The drawstring cinches the leggings at the waist so the fighting match with my waistband is completely unnecessary.

❤💞❤💞❤ I've always been very curious… About life, earth and people. But yoga, ayurveda and meditation have taught me to be curious also about myself. I got an opportunity to learn and search myself in a new way. I asked questions who am I, and why, more deeply. They say yoga is a journey to the self, I think this journey is the most intresting and rewarding but also somehow the most difficult that I've ever taken. ❤💞❤💞❤ #NYGyoga
