Compression on your lumbar spine builds up throughout the workday, leaving your lower back feeling tight, fatigued, and stiff by the time you clock out.
For today's Movement Monday, Personal Trainer Joe demonstrates the Bird Dog—a classic, low-impact exercise designed to decompress the spine, activate deep core stabilizers, and restore neutral alignment. 🔄
📌 Joe’s Form Cues:
Start on hands and knees with wrists directly under shoulders and knees under hips.
Extend opposite arm and leg straight out until parallel with the floor.
Hold for 10–20 seconds, lower with control, and switch sides!
Building a resilient, pain-free body starts with mastering the fundamentals. Our personal training team at Green Ridge Recreation Center is here to tailor a movement plan specifically for your daily routine.

As we age (especially for women) a lack of overhead movement can lead to stiffness, poor posture, and even "frozen shoulder" (adhesive capsulitis). Keeping your shoulder joints healthy requires daily, active range-of-motion work.
For today's Movement Monday, Personal Trainer Stephanie shows us a 15-second overhead arm swing that opens up your upper back, flushes blood flow to the shoulders, and keeps your joints moving freely. 🔄
The Rules:
Swing arms up overhead until hands touch at the top.
Pick up the pace slightly to build light joint warmth.
Limited mobility? Only reach as high as your body comfortably allows today!
Don't let daily desk fatigue restrict how you move. Our personal training team at Green Ridge Recreation Center builds customized mobility routines to keep you pain-free at every stage of life.

Crunches are one of the most common exercises out there, but doing them wrong can lead to serious neck strain and actually bypass the core muscles you are trying to target! A strong core is your lower back's best defense against daily fatigue and aches.

For today's Movement Monday, Personal Trainer Joe breaks down the proper crunch technique. By keeping your lower back anchored, unweighting your neck, and initiating the lift purely from your abdomen, you maximize core engagement while keeping your spine protected.

📌 Joe’s Key Cues:

Keep knees bent, feet flat, and lower back pressed firmly into the mat.

Peel shoulder blades up using your core—don't yank your head with your hands!

Exhale on the way up, pause at the top, and lower down slow and controlled.

Ready to build a stronger, pain-free foundation? Our personal training team at Green Ridge Recreation Center specializes in teaching proper form and building programs tailored specifically to your body's needs.
