Day 2 is designed to integrate many of the isometrics from Day One into integrated joint positions. As we move to achieve the posture, notice any areas that you may feel are limited or tight. It is natural for weaker muscles to rely on stronger muscles to do their job, but as our muscles become more healthy, mobility improves.
In this workout, we will use the Yoga Blocks to help create resistance into trunk flexion. Many of the positions are Yoga-themed, especially in some of the standing exercises in hip hinges, squats, knee lifts, and planks to challenge hip flexors, abdominals, and shoulder muscles. Finish with an effective abdominal sequence to strengthen the transverse abdominis, psoas, iliacus, obliques, and rectus abdominis. You will feel less tightness in the hamstrings and lower back after this routine!
