The knee is often called the slave of the foot and the hip as it acts as referee between the two. When the foot is moving in one direction and the hip is moving in another, the knee has to adapt. In this episode Nora and Brian discuss strategies for training the knee to have the mobility and stability needed for any task.

In today's episode we begin to discuss lower body training, specifically the Hip. You do squats, you do lunges, you do footwork on the Reformer but does that really prepare your hip for real life? In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss the importance of going outside the sagittal plane to strengthen and stabilize the hip for running, jumping and changing directions.

Movement is a constant dance between stability and mobility. Let's dive into this hot topic in personal training and see if we can illuminate key concepts to enhance your teaching and improve your performance.
