    Exercise of the day: Hip flexor stretch 

    Doing a lot of sitting? Lingering low back pain? Try out a standing or kneeling hip flexor stretch, courtesy of Kevin Eckert, PT and owner of Aretas PT Hales Corners!

    This is a great exercise that can done anywhere! You can use your desk chair or the second step on a staircase for the standing version (above on the right). Grab a pillow or yoga mat for the kneeling version (left).

     

    For the standing version: start standing with one foot on the floor and one foot elevated on a step, chair, or staircase. Turn the toes of your planted foot inward to lock the hip into internal rotation (this ensures a better stretch!). Shift your weight forward without arching your back or twisting your hips (imagine you have headlights on the fronts of each of your hips and you keep the headlights pointed forward). You should feel a stretch in the front of the stance hip. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, repeat 3 times, then switch legs and perform 3 sets of 20-30 seconds.

     

    Alternatively, for the kneeling version: start kneeling with the other foot in front of you. Shift your weight forward without arching your back or twisting your hips (imagine you have headlights on the fronts of each of your hips and you keep the headlights pointed forward). You should feel a stretch in the front of the kneeling hip. Perform 3 sets of 20-30 seconds on each hip.

     

    Repeat this exercise as often as needed and for maintenance, do this once to twice a day!

    Baked Crunchy Hot Honey Chicken:

    Need something crispy to go with a fresh summer salad? This is that thing. Hot honey is trending. If you haven’t tried a recipe with it, try this one out. This recipe is from Drake Sutton, performance coach at Aretas Performance Hales Corners.

     

    Ingredients: 

    • 6 cups cornflakes (gluten free it needed)
    • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 2 tbsp hot sauce
    • 2 lb chicken breast tenderloins
    • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling

    Hot honey ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup honey
    • 2-3 tbsp hot sauce
    • 1-3 tsp cayenne pepper
    • 3/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
    • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
    • 1/2 tsp onion powder
    • Sea salt
    • Fresh thyme, cilantro, or parsley for serving

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat oven to 425 deg F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a food processor, combine cornflakes, parmesan, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until you have fine crumbs (alternatively you can crush the crumbs in a ziplock bag by stepping on them – good for getting frustrations out!). Dump the crumbs in a shallow bowl.
    3. Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the hot sauce and chicken, and toss well to coat.
    4. Dredge the chicken through the crumbs, covering fully. Place on the prepared baking sheet. For a thicker coating, dip the chicken back through the eggs, then through the crumbs a second time. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp all around.
    5. Just before the chicken is done cooking, make the sauce. In a sauce pot, warm together then honey, hot sauce, cayenne, chili powder, onion powder, and garlic powder, plus a pinch of salt.
    6. Drizzle the warm sauce over the chicken. Top with herbs. If the sauce thickens, warm for 5 seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!
