Everything we got wrong on alignment, hip thrusts, and running | Jenn Pilotti

Aug 16, 2022

In this episode, Nikki and Jenn talk about some of the biggest myths circling the internet in the fitness, yoga, and Pilates spaces and why Jenn hates hip thrusts. 

They discuss:

• What the research says about hip thrusts and why it's not the penultimate exercise for building bigger glutes or performing better.
• The misconception that certain alignments will prevent or promote injury.
• Why overpronation may not be a problem for runners and what the current research suggests about the "best" way to run.
• The value of sensory input and why posture "correction" may not be an effective method of pain management or prevention for hypermobile people.
• Why fear mongering makes for effective marketing and poor outcomes.
