17 May SATURDAY + STRENGTH + REGULAR MACRO
Strong Legs, Happy Knees
Leg Day! Our favorite day of the week – well, at least AFTER the workout! π
While training the lower body is an absolute must, sometimes it can come along with some not-so-nice knee pain if you have an injury OR if your form needs tweaking.
If you’ve ever experienced knee pain, these form fixes can be absolute game-changers:
β Watch those knees tracking with your toes – some clients even draw lines on their mats!
β Press through your heels like you’re trying to push the floor away (this is a knee-saver)
β Squeeze your core like someone’s about to punch you in the stomach
β Never, ever skip the warm-up (it does so much to help get your muscles ready and prevent injury)
Taking video of your form can be incredibly revealing – sometimes what feels right isn’t actually right! Even after years of training, it’s worth checking your form regularly.
What form cues do you find the most helpful for leg day moves? For many clients, it’s “knees out” during squats – feels weird at first but becomes second nature!
Action Items:
β Complete todayβs Leg Day workout in the app.
β Log a 20+ min walk post-workout.
β Track your post-workout fuel.
β Hydrate & prioritize recovery.
