Description: Full Body Workout (Strength)

First workout ever - I think I’m sold. Best combination of strength , explosiveness ,mobility

Todays workout: 

Mobility / dynamic warmup 

Lower body strength / power + speed / stability 

Full body functional strength - all movements should be supersetted without rest / move to next movement FAST! 

2 minutes rest in between each round!

Controlled articular rotation:

Perform each movement pattern for 10 - as many reps as you need each direction each.

Try to keep your hips centered - don’t rotate your body - all controlled movements (no momentum) 

Doing these movements every morning / prior to working out have significantly helped my joint pain. 

LETS GET IT!

Perform a neck circle:

Draw the biggest circle possible with your neck - notice tight spots / work through them as best as possible. 

Perform 10 circles each direction / slow and controlled.

NECK C.A.R.S

Perform a shoulder circle:

Draw the biggest circle possible with your shoulder - notice tight spots / work through them as best as possible. 

Try not to move your torso - shift your weight - all movement should come from shoulder joint

Perform 10 circles each direction / slow and controlled.

SHOULDER C.A.R.S

Perform a full shoulder circle:

Draw the biggest circle possible with your shoulder - notice tight spots / work through them as best as possible. 

Flip your hand around at the top of the circle - think about making your arm as long as possible while completing this movement.

When your hand reaches the opposite side / reverse and go in the opposite direction. 

Try not to allow your body to shift as mine does in illustration.

These are some of the movements I use to cool down after an intense workout:

Using static stretching poses - added movement! 

Most important factor in this workout is coming back to your breath! Really focus on your breathing. 7/11 breathing, 7 count inhale - 11 count exhale! - forces you to control you breath and bring you heart rate down!

Be as playful as you want with these movements, stretch where needed! As you guys will see in the video, I go off the cusp and try NEW things! LETS WORK!

Hold each movement - stretch for 30 - 45 seconds / as long as you need!

-Bend over with long spine and touch toes! 
-Be playful - walk hands around in circle - come up - slowly drop back down. Etc STRETCH!

Standing toe touch

- Hinge at the hip with hands attached to the wall + sit as deep into a squat as possible
