Move of the week: strengthen your pelvic floor and ease lower back pain with quad rockers
3 years ago
Welcome to our Move of the Week series. Every Monday, we’ll be sharing one of our favourite exercises with you – how to do it, what muscles it works and why it should be a regular part of your workout regime. This week: quad rockers.
If you run or cycle a lot, the chances are that you’ve got super-tight quads. Quad rockers is a brilliant stretch for loosening up those powerhouse muscles while also helping to ease laptop-ravaged lower backs, strengthening the pelvic floor and mobilising the shoulders. It’s super-low impact and requires minimal coordination – making it the perfect move for a10 second mid-morning shake-out or late night stretch.
It’s also a great one to add to your pre-run warm-up, especially if you are feeling a little stiff first thing in the morning.
A weekly dose of expert-backed tips on everything from gut health to running.
