SPINE FLEXIBILITY

“Hey guys! I wanted to do go through some mobility work for your spine and how it will transfer into your strength moves and training. Then after you will know how to work on the mobility and keep your joints healthy. Then you want to use this on a daily basis and here and there as you get into your higher level skills. And we are going to go from head to toe. You’re going to find that you might need to start breaking it up throughout the day, and as I always mention, it’s going to become a lifestyle. So it’s not really “going to the gym” but it’s more body knowledge. So we will start with the head and some things for the cervical vertebrae. Keep everything in neutral. Do all of these slow and controlled and you really want to think about what your spine is doing and you’re working through that.”

At the end of video:

“So, like I said, that’s a great daily-based mobility training that you can incorporate whenever you wake up in the morning or before you start your training it’s a different style of warm-up. It will help you increase your blood flow to your joints to help repair tissue after a really serious workout or training, which will increase your range of motion so you can actually get more out of the strengths and skills training. So I hope that helps you guys. Please let me know if you have any questions. Don’t forget to implement this in your training if you want to see extra growth.”
