Now that your shoulders are mobilized, make sure your doing your frog stretches and squat stretches every workout. I don't just put stuff in the warmup for fun. Frog stretches help with hip mobility, knee pain, and helps with hip flexibility. All that helps posture... and your bedroom game #sexualhealth. Squat stretches will help with your ankle range of motion, loosens muscles, helps the hips, and helps the posture. Walk tall, babes+bros.

GOAL
Increase coordination, flush lymph, strengthen your fast twitch muscle fibers, and increase speed #SoAthletic

DETAILS
1. Feet together.
2. Grab rope with wrists slightly in front of hips.
3. Thumbs face away from the body, shoulders are relaxed, and chin is neutral.
4. Hop low and quickly on your toes will whipping the rope with your wrists. 
5. Let the rope rotate around your body and jump as the wrists slap down.

Pro-Tip: The more relaxed you are, the longer you can keep your natural rhythm.
Pro-Tip II: Drop the rope. Jump low and fast and slap your hands on the front of your thighs. Double tap them to practice double unders. This simulates the timing and coronation needed to jump rope. After warming up with this, carry the same rhythm but just add the rope. 

CUES
- Hips In Place
- Posture is Upright AF
-Ribs Tucked

Jump Rope

2.  Slightly bend your knees and push em out a little, aka external rotation to active your glute medius. Nail that setup.
3. Stiffen up your back and brace your abs. Flat back, you know what that is. 
4. PUSH THOSE HIPS BAAACK. Feel the stretch and pressure in the back of your legs. Yep, those are your hammies. Say good morning to them.
5. Hinge at the hip. Depth is dependent on your ability to maintain a flat back.

2. Move your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and feet are together and parallel to the floor. This is the starting position.
