Omnia Movement & Performance

90 90 Hip Range of Motion (ROM): gaining strength and mobility (control over range of motion) in active ROM.
Start seated, get hips, knees and ankles bent to 90 degrees then flex rear toes up and without leaning forward pick that back foot off the floor, point toes and then without leaning pick knee off the floor. Alternate twice between the two and really squeeze that hip into the end of range of motion!
Brain, meet hip movement! Make sure to isolate the hip from pelvis, i...deally no leaning or tilting! • • • • #mobility #mobilitytraining #trainsmarter #strength #rangeofmotion #ROM #hipsdontlie #activeROM #9090hips #isolation #movement #training

Warm ups are important: start your day slowly, get a feel for your skis and conditions, consider some things like leg swings or activation exercises to get the body prepped for action! ❄️❄️❄️❄️ • • • •... • #skilouise #lakelouisecanada #banffnationalpark #skiing #winteriscoming #warmup #trainsmarter #chairlift #wintersun #mountains #canmore #movebetterperformbetter

Dreaming about next season’s routes? Take advantage of an opportunity to chip away at some of your weaknesses. Spend time on joint stability, strength and mobility to optimize your winter training and reduce risk of injuries next year! • • • •... • • #movebetterperformbetter #trainsmarter #rock #rockclimbing #climbing #climbbetter #trainsmarternotharder #strength #stablility #mobility #strengthcoach #EEOR #truegrit #bluebird #getoutside #crosstraining #offseason

Big congratulations to Luge Canada athlete Kimberley McRae on her bronze medal at today's luge world cup in Calgary!

Approaching training with balance and mindfulness will make all the difference in your success. Pay attention, even to the details. Be genuinely aware of strengths and weaknesses. Each session, exercise and movement should be approached with attention and as always: quality over quantity. Without mindfulness you’ll get a little better with training, but with it the effort you put into training will give you results far faster. • • • •... • #movebetterperformbetter #trainsmarter #mindfulness #qualityoverquantity #mountain #lake #prehab #training #run #prep #mountainrun #attention #trainsmarternotharder #mountainlake #sunshine #getoutside #enjoy

@skilouise needs a good dump of snow, but the sun is shining and groomed bits are great! #ski #movebetterperformbetter #trainsmarter #prehab #skiing #alpineskiing #lakelouise #banffnationalpark #skilouise #girlsdoski #courderoy #technique #skillsday

Ski season is joyously well underway! Training in the off season is your best bet for strong, consistent and injury free turns. BUT when done correctly you can start training any time without impeding your ski days. • • • Maintenance is key for hamstring strength, lateral hip and core stability, and proprioception (essentially athleticism) to prevent injuries - particularly knee issues. •... • • • #movebetterperformbetter #earnyourturns #trainsmarter #prehab #trainsmarternotharder #training #skimo #skiuphill #skitouring #alpineskiing #bowvalley #strength #coach #movement

LSD (Long Slow Distance) training is part of a polarized training program. Physiological adaptations are largely structural in the cardiovascular system, essentially building a foundation of blood vessels and blood volume to efficiently deliver energy and nutrients to working tissues. There are also many additional metabolic benefits, depending on training goals. A cardio “base” is important for every athlete, regardless of sport! It’s beneficial from two second high intensit...y efforts to ultramarathon running performance. Pro tip: don’t forget to enjoy your training!!

If you are interested in how the team of you and your equipment are working together, consider an assessment with the experts (including a physio!) at SkiUphill - RunUphill

Unilateral stability and power! SO insanely key for injury prevention. KEYS: ✅ stacked hip, knee and ankle ✅ full hip extension ✅ core and torso unified ✅ hip dominant take off and landing position (to avoid loading knee joint as much). This is a much later progression once some unilateral groundwork has been mastered. The stronger you are in a lateral plane of motion (ie. when those hips sink to the side or knees head in towards one anoth...er) the better off you are for handling suddenly less than ideal situations in sport and life. You can catch yourself better in a ski crash, have nice stacked knee structures in a tennis or soccer match, climbing Dino is ideally explosive... the list goes on! Here, working on explosiveness and movement patterns in a single leg jump. #trainsmarter #training #strength #strengthcoaching #prehab #injuryprevention #singlelegjump #hurdle #singleleghurdle #unilateral #stability #balance #hip #hipdominance #power #coach #movement #getbetter

A massive thank you to SkiUphill - RunUphill who hosted a chat this evening with me about ski season prep, injury prevention and mobility!

Presentation Friday (tomorrow) in conjunction with @skiuphill.ca in Canmore. I will be at the Ski Uphill store talking about pre season training, injury prevention and mobility for skiers and snowboarders. Check out our Facebook page for details! #skitraining #skiing #winter #preseason #prep #snow #presentation #trainingtalk #prehab #injuryprevention #mobility #trainsmarter

Join us for some info and discussion on prepping for ski season!
