Let's begin this course by defining this topic and gaining a better understanding on what it is to be a mobile human-being.
Let's define the difference between mobility and passive stretching to gain an understanding on the importance of combining both elements of flexibility and strength
In this lecture I discuss the anatomical position which is very important as it is a starting position for many of the exercises you will learn throughout this course
A quick lecture to clarify how to follow through the exercises each day
Strengthen your mobility with exercise 2 by isolating the big toe and lifting toes off the floor, completing a two-minute sequence that trains brain-foot coordination and builds mobility.
Practice a squat variation to mobilize the hamstrings and back, reaching toward the floor with adjustable stance and progression that includes jump and walkout options to increase strength and mobility.
Improve full body mobility by mobilizing foot, ankle, and calf tendons to keep them elastic and strong. Begin with light alternating steps, progress to two-foot hops for two minutes.
Strengthen your back by linking the opposite shoulder and glute with alternating leg and arm lifts from a prone position for two minutes, plus an overhead variation to test mobility.
Perform exercise five to mobilize hips and hamstrings by raising the knee, flexing the quadriceps, and extending the leg with wall support if needed, for two minutes total.
Improve ankle mobility and resilience with four stationary, 30-second movements—rolling the ankle outside and inside, heel rises, and toe rises—progressing from standing to walking.
Guide through a squat variation to mobilize the feet and ankles, then progress to calves, hamstrings, and lower back with kneeling rocking, plank, and standing transitions for full body mobility.
Perform a two-minute mobility sequence to strengthen the glutes and hips, progressing from kneeling to tall kneeling and raised knees to load the feet and ankles, helping plantar fasciitis relief.
Perform a lunge with a spine rotation and a behind-the-back reach to mobilize the hips, spine, and shoulders, look in the rotation direction, then alternate sides for one minute each.
Mobilize the trunk and upper body to improve spine, scapula, shoulders, and arms with a behind-the-back arm extension, a bicep coup, and diaphragmatic breathing, for one minute per arm.
Perform a two-minute alternating leg squat variation to mobilize and stabilize the hips with knees in line with toes. Progress to jump squats with landing on balls of the feet.
This is an additional exercise that you can perform any day of the week to add to your routine to mobilise your spine! The spine is the center of our body and must be treated with respect and moved often to keep us healthy,strong, and mobile.
This course is designed to be easy to follow and educational. The term 'mobility' is thrown around loosely and often misunderstood. In this course you will learn the difference between stretching and mobility and also a 5 day, easy to follow exercise routine to increase your mobility, flexibility, and strength all in the comfort of your living room using simply your body weight. No equipment needed! There are also progressions in the exercises so you can choose which progression is best suited to you depending on your fitness level.
Regain control of your body, reduce aches and pains, and feel great!
