Assessment
If you are new to FIS TV and not sure where to start, you have come to the right place! Whether you are new to exercise, suffering from a new injury, or just checking in with your body, this section will be your guide. These videos will help you evaluate your joint health from one workout to the next. Remember that pain, tightness, compensated motion, and poor performance are all signs of muscle weakness.
1. Start with our Self Assessment video, which guides you through a comprehensive range of motion evaluation.
2. Practice five of the most foundational Isometric Boost videos to activate positional weaknesses in several of the most important motions we have in our body.
3. Move to the 30 minute full-body mobility workouts that will set the foundation for more workouts in the FIS TV library if this feels appropriate. If you are dealing with a specific pain or injury, stick with the isometric boost videos only for now.
4. Search videos a-la-carte by joint motion, intensity, type of injury, and genre is a great way to navigate FIS TV! The "Getting Started", "Therapeutics" and "C.P.I" sections are the best place to start. If you would like to be lead, it is recommended that you begin with the "3-Day Fitness Plan".
