In this workout, we will use the Yoga Blocks to help create resistance into lateral flexion / sidebend. Many of the positions are Yoga-themed, especially in some of the standing exercises as well as quadruped sidebend isometrics, side planks, and several Yoga postures that are set up to target muscles on one side of the body in lateral flexion. We will target hip abductors, hip adductors, spinal erectors, abdominals, and shoulder muscles. Finish with some core focused hip and spine isometric positions that should help you to feel less tightness in the hips and lower back after this routine!
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.
