Cossack Squat (LOOSEN TIGHT HIPS)

Hello Athletes and Warriors!
As you know if you regularly read these emails, that I regularly reference and get help from some of the best minds in the business of fitness and performance. Why? Because if I hired a coach who claimed to "know it all" he/she would probably not be my coach for very long.
Because different excellent coaches like coach Joe will have a different perspective on programming, exercise, nutrition, etc., So it is with this variation on a great standard. So even though I know a lot, with coaches like Joe around, I will continue to learn more and help you even more so.
Let's get it!
-Nate

If you're tired of doing traditional squats and are looking for a way to increase your strength, listen up.

In this lesson you’ll learn how to do the Cossack Squat.

You can do the Cossack squat first, as a dynamic warmup, to loosen tight hips and strengthen weak adductors (inner thighs) through a full range of motion.

Stand with your feet at about twice shoulder-width apart and turn your toes out slightly.



Cossack Squat (LOOSEN TIGHT HIPS)


Squat as deep as possible to the left. To maintain balance, extend your arms straight out in front of your body at shoulder level.

Keep your right leg straight and pull your right toes into your shin.

Pause, return to the start and repeat on the opposite side. That’s one rep.

Perform 15 reps, then rest for 45 seconds. Complete two sets.

If you have tightness around your hips and thighs, hold onto a wall or bench, for support, and use a smaller range of motion.
Train hard and stay safe,

Coach Joe

Children and the Need for Physical Activity

Whether your child is involved in sports or not. Physical activity is a must. -Nate
Children in the U.S. today are less fit than they were a generation ago and showing early signs of cardiovascular disease such as weight gain, higher serum cholesterol, and cigarette smoking.
Inactive children, when compared with active children, weigh more, have higher blood pressure and lower levels of heart-protective high-density lipoproteins. Even though heart attack and stroke are rare in children, evidence suggests that the process leading to those conditions begins in childhood. The 1987 National Children and Youth Fitness Study indicates that at least half of youth don't engage in physical activity that promotes long-term health and that less than 36 percent of elementary and secondary schools offer daily PE classes and that most classes were unlikely to foster lifelong physical activity.

A fitness testing program sponsored by the Chrysler Fund Amateur Athletic Union, which tracks fitness among 9.7 million youngsters between the ages of 6 and 17, shows that children are getting slower in endurance running and are getting weaker. Since 1980 there has been a 10 percent drop off on scores for distance runs and an 11 percent decline in youngsters who achieved at least a "satisfactory" score on the entire test.
An estimated 2.1 million adolescents age 12 to 17 are smokers. Nine million American children under age five live with at least one smoker and are exposed to second-hand smoke for virtually the whole day. It is estimated that 3,000 American young people become smokers every day.
Children spend an average of 17 hours a week watching TV in addition to the time they spend on video and computer games. Inactive children are more likely to become inactive adults. Healthful lifestyle training should begin in childhood to promote improved cardiovascular health in adult life. The following good health practices should be promoted among children:
  • regular physical activity
  • a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet after the age of two
  • smoking prevention
  • appropriate weight for height
  • regular pediatric medical checkups

Let US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning help your child get off on the right foot of his/her fitness lifestyle with our Youth Fitness Programs:

Youth Strength Training Programs are designed for overall health and the achievement of a leaner, stronger body. These programs are an excellent first step in helping a young person learn how to lift weights safely. Done correctly, and with adult supervision, weight training can be an excellent form of exercise that, once learned, can provide a lifetime of health benefits.

Throughout the length of the Youth Strength Training Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts. The weights are lighter and the repetitions will be higher for added safety!

As with all the programs, the starting point of the workouts are based on the child's initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the child's unique adaptation process to exercise.

Fine tune the programs to include various exercises that can be matched to equipment at home or in the gym! In addition to strength training, encourage children to participate in their favorite sports for a well rounded fitness program. Have fun and get healthy!
