National old headshot week. Me from what seems a 100 years ago! We don't appreciate how we looked when we were young until we are older. . . . . .

Modified side plank exercise

Modified side plank exercise. This is an easier version of the plank. This is a good alternative plank strengthening exercise, especially after a knee injury as there is no pressure or strain on the knees holding in this position when the core or glutes and hamstrings are still weak. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio

Pilates hover exercise

Pilates hover exercise. This exercise can be the precurser to a plank. It engages the glutes, core, and deep abdominals. The back has to be straight and the head aligned. It's harder than it looks to keep the back in line and shoulders down and not curve the back upwards when raising and holding the hover position. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio @bh_beyondhealth

2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller

2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller. Basic table top toe taps to engage the core, glutes and lower abdominals. Using the foam roller in this position can help stop the hip flexors coming into action too when the core is still weak. . . . . .

Hip flexor stretch

Hip flexor stretch. Today's physio pilates rehab exercise. Simple and so effective. Sometimes when getting back to full strength less can be more. A few repetitions correctly executed before your muscles tire again can be more efficient than loads of repetitions incorrectly done. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio @bh_beyondhealth

My wheat free low carb and protein breakfast

My wheat free low carb and protein breakfast. The chef in the cafe who cooked breakfast this morning was obviously feeling creative with the chillies. 2 poached eggs on crushed avocado with chillies and wilted spinach. No toast and an espresso.

Basic core and glute strengthening Physio pilates exercise

Basic core and glute strengthening Physio pilates exercise. Lie with your feet on a ball. Put downward pressure onto the ball and push the ball away from you. Then bring back in. Engage the core and glutes to use the hip flexors less. Make sure ribs are down, back is in neutral and toes relaxed. Its a slow journey to regaining full fitness after an injury. Patience is key. With thanks to Tessa @theliftingphysio @bh_beyondhealth
