This is one of our favourite T-spine mobility drills. T-spine, or your thoracic spine, is your middle to upper back region between your lumbar spine and your cervical spine. Your T-spine is meant to be nice and mobile, giving you the ability to rotate your back for when you need to parallel park for instance. When your T-spine lacks mobility, you compensate by rotating your lumbar (lower) spine, which was not designed for mobility. This is a major cause of lower back pain and injury. So make sure to keep your T-spine mobile by doing drills like this one each day! At Jimmies, you’ll do this as part of your warm up before every session.

These moments are what we live for . Check out Rhona and Fran’s progression with the single leg dead lift (SLDL) movement! In the first videos from September they are doing anterior reaches, a regression we use to work up to the SLDL. At the time, even those were a challenge! In the recent videos, they are both doing SLDL with a dumbbell, and not to mention with excellent form and fluidity! So what?... First off, this exercise works your posterior chain (hamstrings and bum), which in a sedentary life style we don't activate nearly enough. A weak posterior chain leads to many different pains and injuries, one example being lower back pain. Secondly, a single leg dead lift is a functional movement pattern (i.e. a way in which your body was meant to move and which you should use in everyday life). It’s actually one of the safest and most sound ways you can pick up something light from the ground. Drop a pencil and see for yourself! Bravo to Rhona, Fran and SO many other consistent clients who have improved their balance, strength, movement patterns and mobility with consistent training. You make us very proud.
