Mobility issues are often caused by muscle weakness.  It is important to visit our range of motion daily so that we do not lose it!  In this quick 10-minute routine, we will be looking at the four total body combinations using bodyweight as resistance to strengthen muscles and improve mobility.  ...

Every joint can pronate and supinate, as muscles are constantly resisting and collapsing under gravity to give us the power to move. When we cannot pronate efficiently, we cannot absorb enough elastic energy to propel our body to move forward.

In this video, jump start muscles in the lower le...

From a seated position, we begin the workout with a range of motion assessment in:
plantarflexion / dorsiflexion
eversion / inversion
abduction / adduction

With direction about where you feel limited, we will practice several ankle mobility exercises that are designed to improve muscular respons...

The lower back is a common area of tension with a lot of people due to joint wear and repetitive activities. In this workout, we begin with some mobility evaluation techniques followed by some core isometrics. Next we will be moving in and out of positions to create some great muscle contractio...

In this Yoga and Pilates fusion class, practice six different combinations each choreographed for their similarity in joint motion and muscle recruitment. See how the moving eccentric-concentric focus of the chosen Pilates exercises actually enhances our ability to stay strong with increased jo...

I loved doing this video, since I am a teacher at heart. However, we will also be moving the whole time as we learn several movements that are available to the shoulder joint. Discover how to evaluate your mobility / range of motion you have from right to left from a sitting and standing positi...

Warm-Ups should be a scaled-down version of what you are getting ready to do, and cool-downs should ensure that your muscles are still communicating well with your central nervous system, as you bring your energy back to homeostasis.

For this workout, the only equipment you will need is your body! Take this hour to survey your joint mobility from left to right to see where your motion deficits are. We will perform 15 bodyweight exercises with 8-12 repetitions each in order to improve overall mobility resulting from muscle l...

First, learn some great self assessments to detect any range of motion differences. Next, practice some positional isometric exercises, designed to activate weak muscles, particularly ones that are sitting in the front of the body that flex the spine.
From here, we will use a mini ball and thi...
