[Eccentric Elevated Deficit Pigeons] Pigeon pose in yoga is an awesome movement that feels great, helps with hip mobility and can reduce symptoms of butt or hip pain for some people. Here’s an advanced version that requires a little more strength and control that really gets you into deeper ranges of hip external rotation combined with flexion.... Specifically loading some of the smaller, stabilizing muscles located deep within the hip especially in deep ranges of rotation and flexion like this may help reduce risk of injuries associated with this region such as piriformis syndrome, nerve entrapment, gluteal tendinopathy, hip bursitis and hip impingement. This isn’t meant for everyone as there’s a lot of anatomical variation that you see in different people’s hip & pelvis structure.

If you don’t like running on a treadmill, you don’t *have* to in order to achieve your fitness goals. You’ll have a better chance of achieving your goals if the road you choose to get there is enjoyable to you. Sometimes you start something new and hate it at first but after sticking with it, end up liking it a lot and it becomes an enjoyable part of your routine. This is commendable and I wouldn’t wanna discourage people from doing this. We should make a conscious effort to ...explore and persevere through certain things that result in delayed gratification and bear long-term fruit. But you shouldn’t always feel compelled to do something that may be effective for another person but unsustainable for you. .

Deficit Scapular Press Ups Strengthen your shoulder blade retraction ability with this movement. Allow your body weight to sink below the level of the benches to load into that end range of your shoulder blade retraction. If you’ve had trouble feeling what it really means to squeeze your shoulder blades back the entire way, this’ll definitely get you there. Some added bonuses here is that you strengthen shoulder blade protraction too by pressing yourself up out of that bottom... position, as well as some core strength by keeping your body in a plank the entire time.

Beast rows are a good way to combine an upper body resistance exercise with a core stabilization demand. You can do these on the ground too but you’ll have more range of motion for the row when elevated. Lots of anti-rotation trunk control required for this one. Imagine a glass of water is on your back and you don’t want it to spill. Or have a friend balance a foam roller or yoga block on your back and try to keep it from falling off. Give it a shot!
