This week we are looking at the Waist Twist in a side lying position, a great exercise to help increase the rotation of the spine and release tension.

This week's exercise is the Cat, a wonderful postural exercise that will bring some movement back into your hips and spine.

This week's exercise is the Hip Hinge, which is all about helping you to sit up taller and tackle low back pain.

This week's exercise is a progression on the standard Cat as we introdue hip extension (ie glute work!) in this basic movement.

This week I'm introducing you to the postural muscles of the back!

This week's exercise builds on the Diamond Press introduced previously. I am now getting your spine to move through different planes of movement by adding lateral flexion and rotation to your extension!

This week's exercise carries on with the theme of extension this time bringing it down to your hips, helping you to activate your glutes!

Table Top is a great exercise to move the shoulders and hips through a big range of movement. It also works the stability of your trunk and shoulders which is important for more advanced exercises such as the Plank.

The Dart is one of the best postural exercises out there as it works the whole back line of the body: the muscles of the spine and the shoulder blades.

This week's exercise is a bum burner! Working in a four point kneeling position helps you work your hips through a greater range of motion but also works the stability of your shoulderblades and trunk.

This week's all about the Plank, how to do it properly in a way that works your shoulders as much as your abdomen and also makes it more functional.

This week's exercise is another great one for working your glutes, this time in side-lying!

This week's focus is on squatting, one of the most functional exercises out there that will work your glutes and strengthen your back.

We're staying lying on the side to work the hips some more!

This is a very technical exercise to help you achieve greater stability through the front hip when lunging. A happy hip is a happy knee, so here's another exercise to prevent or recover from a knee injury!

Practice this exercise as often as you can to increase your hips' range of movement in lateral rotation. Just like the Knee Roll, this is a great exercise to rehab from or prevent knee injury.

Practice the Knee Roll in a seated and standing position to help release your hips and increase their range of movement. This is a particularly good exercise for knee injury prevention and rehab!

As a fencer, you will probably have come accross the Clam exercise, which is an exercise given to increase the hips' range of movement in lateral rotation and work the glutes. I have developed it further and turned it into a bigger movement so as to make it even more relevant to fencing!
