MORNING MOBILITY: LOW BACK AND CALVES
Low back pain? Stretching isn’t the move. Use this video.
This weeks Morning Mobility is posted.
Start your mornings with it each day this week.
If it’s your first one, here’s a little bit about them.
It’s not stretching, and it’s not yoga, but kinda looks like both. It’s a few simple movements that wake up the neurological pathways to your muscles, effectively telling your body it’s ok to move this way, and I want to move this way.
Doing this regularly, overtime, keeps your body spry and resilient.
We suggest doing the same one for a week at a time to strengthen the neural pathways involved with each movement and to notice the changes in your body.
We do these every morning and have noticed added sense of ease of movement and agility in our regular strength and mobility training, our ramp riding, hiking around gnarly terrain, and just walking through the day.
MORNING MOBILITY: HIPS AND CHEST
Simple but mighty moves to keep movers moving and doers doing in this weeks morning mobility video.
Good morning everybody.
Here's this weeks mobilty.
If you're new to Morning Mobility, it's a weekly series consisting of short(around 10 minutes), sequences of simple but potent moves for you to do daily for a week, and will help you wake up your important, but often overlooked or misunderstood mind muscle connection to move better and feel better no matter what else you do.
It sounds a little woo woo, but it's actually pretty straight forward–access to, or improvements in your strength, flexibility, mobility, power, and muscle size have a neurological side. Your brain sends and receives signals to and from your muscles to move them, grow them, or even restrict them from moving, which can lead to losing them—and the older we get, the faster it happens—but we can do something about it.
We're just making sure you're sending the signals you need to keep those pathways open and active if, like us, you want or need your body to be ready move, take impact, make more efficient use of your bodies strength and power, and increase your range of motion and quality of movement.
So, if you're prone to the random excursion, hike, or skate and ride ramps like us, or do some other type of action sport, you want to get a little more from your workouts, or you just want to move better and feel better Morning Mobility will help you do that.
We call it morning mobility because we do these in the morning as soon as we get out of bed, it's a nice way to start the morning and improves the way we feel and move through the day regardless of what we end up doing.
