Description: Quick Upper Body Warmup

Great warmup, I didn’t have light weights or bands, but still effective to just do the motions and squeeze, crating tension, on the rear delt pulls

This is a great warmup when you’re short on time but need to get those arms ready to work!

Thoracic Twist

You can do this one a bar or on the ground. 

For the bar, engage your core. Retract your shoulders blades. 

Using your intrinsic scapular muscles raise your shoulders to your ears and then lower.

You can also do these on the ground in a plank or table top position.

Scapular Retraction (modifications shown)

For these you’ll need a very light weight (5lbs or less).

Engage your core and lift your arms out in front with your wrists facing the ground 

Then lift away from you from the side of your thighs to overhead wrists facing forward.

You can do these without weight! Try standing against a wall and keeping your arms touching with wall as you make a snow angel motion, trust me it’ll burn!

Snow Angels

Stand tall with an engaged core. 

Retract your shoulders.

Using a band, with straight arms, you’ll pull the band apart as far as you can, while keeping your scapula engaged.

Going on 4.5 years of being pregnant and/or breastfeeding and really trying to start focusing on my mobility and this was perfect for those breastfeeding tight shoulders!!

I did this after BTB day 1 when I realized I couldn’t do the y-pulls because my breastfeeding shoulders were too dang tight! This felt amazing!

That was really good! I can’t remember when’s the last time I did any of those type of movements. I need to incorporate those more in my life.

Impressively difficult.. my kiddo and I both have weak ankles.. we'll be doing these often

Bekah

Ankle Mobility + Stability!

Just what I needed! I took 2 days off because my pelvis was severely out if valance and my chiro recommended rest.

What a great way to stretch out and move without aggravating my low back!

I coupled this with some other mobility work!

Dedra

Hip Mobility & Stability

I often neglect to stretch my upper back and after running with the stroller I definitely need to! Took the time to today and feeling so much better. I didn't realize how tight I was!

Alisha

Very needed right now. I'm finding it hard to progress with strength training because my mobility is lacking. I've noticed an improvement this week after committing last week to mobility and stability. Its about the journey, not the destination, right?

Those Hip Dips were harder than I remember! 💜💙💚

So needed today! Taking a week of the get stronger program to focus on restore and mobility. My body is so sore and needs a break. Love this mobility routine after some cardio!

Hip stability- great for low back & pelvic pain

Needed this. Everything is so sore, end of first trimester is kicking my butt. Needed some gentle movement and this was perfect after a 30 minute walk.

12 min yoga cool down

Those Y's a d T's are way harder than they look!

I knew I needed this but I didn’t expect it to challenge me as much as it did!

Great warmup, especially felt it on the y’s and t’s 💪

Way more tiring than it looks like it would be!! But a solid warmup for my shoulders and back!

I've been sick for a week and this was a great way to gently wake my body back up and remind me that my strength is still present.

Tiffany

I’ve been out of the gym for a while and I have arthritis and fibromyalgia, so this is counting as my day 1 workout. Still a win for me though. Lots of cracking and popping but it’ll only get better from here ❤️
