Discover fundamental mobility principles and positional cues, and start a five-day routine to build strength and reduce aches through progressive exercises.
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
Begin the full body mobility routine with neck circles, side-to-side movements, chin tuck with the head lifted, looking up, and a tall spine for two minutes.
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.
Mobilize the trunk by reaching one hand overhead and bending to the side, leading with the elbow, then return to start. Repeat on the other side for two minutes total.
Mobilize the posterior chain with a controlled overhead reach, fold to the floor while pulling down like an abdominal crunch, stretch the hamstrings and upper back, then return to standing.
Strengthen mobility with leg rotation: step forward on one leg, rise onto back toes, rotate the trunk with arms out across the front leg, switch legs for two minutes.
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.
Two ankle-mobility moves improve dorsiflexion and plantarflexion: roll the ankle with heel raises and outside-foot pressure, then lift toes and perform calf raises.
exercise 3 presents two mobility drills in a full body routine, with overhead reach, chest and shoulder blade squeezes, and spine circles, performed for one minute with gradual progression.
perform a quadruped plate variation to strengthen the abs, core, and thoracic spine with a through-and-overhead reach, then progress to a standing version for shoulder and core stability.
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.
Learn a diaphragmatic breathing technique to mobilize the diaphragm and improve spinal mobility. Strengthen the abdominals through controlled rib-cage expansion and upper-back lift.
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.
Engage in a full body mobility routine with split-stance reaches to the opposite foot, alternating hands, and side lunge progressions to stretch hamstrings and inner thighs for two minutes.
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.
Activate the glutes and back to mobilize the hips via a lying hip bridge, then progress through single-leg and hand-position variations for greater mobility.
Improve hip mobility by lifting an extended leg to the side for single-leg stability, activating the glute; progress to a side-lying inner-thigh variation with wall support.
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 gentle ankle mobility from a seated position with slow circular rotations, curling and splaying the toes, then pointing the foot upward; alternate directions for two minutes.
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.
Master gradual, technique-focused mobility practice to build strength, flexibility, and spinal health. The course emphasizes mobility over stretching, anatomical position, and progressive variations for lasting results.
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!
