5 Day Mobility Challenge
This five day challenge analyzes and improves the five biggest “Foundational Movement Patterns.” for humans. Learning, practicing, and mastering these basic human movements are the keys to engaging in any physical activity safely, effectively, and consistently for a long period of time. Each workout will introduce the movement and allow you to practice your ability to perform the exercise with bodyweight, followed by a deeper dive into the individual joint motions that make up the movement. Isolated isometrics, followed by integrated isometrics, followed by movement, and finally followed by a loaded version of the movement will follow.
In this series, you will be able to experience first-hand that muscle weakness is the primary cause of stiffness and tightness. As strength improves, mobility follows. These workouts can be done out of order, if needed. Make sure to check the descriptions for each day to find out which products I will be using. Enjoy freedom and pain-free movement in your body!
