Ooh thanks for posting this Jo . My Physio gave me this excerise to do when I had my hip injury .

I have been a bit lax with strengthening exercises lately . It's a good one this one , it's all in the glutes xxx

[jojo57 Graduate10 in reply to poppypug]

Me too! It sorted out my hip pain within a week but I have been struggling with motivation and have forgotten to do them, so this should be helpful. Sending hugs to you Poppy x

[poppypug Graduate10 in reply to jojo57]

Thanks Jo , you too ((( ))) xxx

Hmmm.......might give it a go!! But the repetitions seem to increase rather quickly.

[jojo57 Graduate10 in reply to skysue16]

I thought that - the numbers of reps at the end are frightening. I'm probably going to ignore them

[nhs2015 Graduate10]

Thanks Jojo, I will certainly have a go at it. Not in four weeks but probably will need six months.

[Shireenjoon Graduate10]

Thanks for posting. I'll give it a go too.

I did the 30 day squat challenge a couple of years ago and that was good too xxx

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Oh that it was possible... Looking at the link made my ribs ache more !

My ten minute early morning work out whilst crocked...... comprises, Yoga breathing... Sama Vittri, abdominal breathing, squats.. good because I keep very straight, rotation of shoulders..shoulder blade squeeze... and a stagger to the chair

Off for fifteen mins on the cross trainer now

Actually looking at the link, I don't think I could do it if I wasn't crocked!!

Go you, shall you post pikkies too ?

[jojo57 Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

post pickies? I don't think so! I have tried several times with NO success. Definitely IT challenged!

[Tanethra Graduate10]

I'll have to give this a go. Thanks for the link

[Terrorrun Graduate10]

Thanks for the post. I've been meaning to get around to doing some bridges again, so will start today. They helped with my niggly lower back loads last time too

[McFitty]

This is brilliant (well day 1 was)! Going to definitely see how far I can go, although the end week does seem a huge ask!

Next time I will try and get a shot of my view... The ceiling, obscured by a slobbering staffie trying to give me kisses and sit on my chest!😂

[poppypug Graduate10 in reply to McFitty]

Ha ha McFitty , I have exactly the same problem with my 2 pugs !

One tries to sit on my chest and the other sits at the side of me giving me slobbering kisses too ! As soon as I get on the floor to do any exercise , they automatically think its part of a wonderful new game. Ha ha ! xxx

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to McFitty]

Ha,ha! I had same problem as @McFitty and @poppypug!! My springer lay over my chest and tried to give me kisses - I couldn't stop giggling (will post photo later!).

[jojo57 Graduate10 in reply to McFitty]

My dog always wants to get involved too!

[AnneDroid Graduate10]

I can't decide if this would kill me or cure me! I seem to have constant pain in the glute area - not severe but just there. I don't know whether strengthening my glutes would improve things, or whether doing this plan on top of the running would cause actual injury.

Hmmmm....

Any thoughts?

[poppypug Graduate10 in reply to AnneDroid]

I had pain in my hip and glute Anne, and this exercise was recommended to me .

Although I do understand that one size doesn't fit all .... xxx

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to poppypug]

I think I will give it a go! And report back.

This looks like exactly what I need. I already do something like the bridge

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10]

jojo57 I have pinned this post. I think I might give it a go. Do you think we should do a Jojo57 weekly post to see how we are all getting on with it? I could do one starting next week that way we could all get a bit of practice, I think I might need some 😀

[Terrorrun Graduate10 in reply to Realfoodieclub]

yes please Realfoodieclub

[AncientMum Graduate10 in reply to Realfoodieclub]

Thanks a good idea RFC. Think I need a wee bit of practice too

[poppypug Graduate10]

Just started this today, Day 1 completed. I am so determined to see this through to the end as it really helped with my hip and glute pain last year .

Good Luck everybody ! xxx

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Missed this! Great post and I have just started doing these again as I got a bit lazy with them. I too found these exercises a great help when I had a niggly hip earlier in the summer.

[poppypug Graduate10]

Fab ! I completed Day 2 yesterday, onto Day 3 today xxx
