FLEXIBILITY VIDEO

WORKOUT 1

DRAGON TAILS

Description: Start by inverting your body holding onto a bar or the underside of a couch/bed. Then lower your body keeping your core active to lessen any hip bending. You then will lift your body back up to an inverted position.

*You can allow your knees to bend and touch the floor if you cannot lower and return to inverted position without. 

Goal: 3 Rounds, 10 reps per round. 

V STAND - LEVEL 0.75

Description: Start sitting on floor with legs out straight and toes pointed. Position hands on floor in front of hips trying for near middle of the thigh. Lean forward and give a strong push with your triceps and shoulders downward to lift your bottom. HOLD the V-stand and hold one leg up. Pulse the other leg up x 5 reps before switching legs.

Goal: 3 rounds of 3 reps each leg.

Continue working on the control lifting of the second leg while not losing your compression - don't let your shoulders rock backward

PIKE PUSH UP

Description: Begin with your feet on the FLOOR with your body in a pike position. Perform a push up assuring only your elbows/shoulders are moving but you are keeping the angle at your hips the same. Once you have mastered that, elevate your feet on a stable surface as the video shows.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 push ups.

V STAND MOBILITY LEG LIFTS

Description: Begin close to a sturdy object or wall. Place feet up while keeping knees straight. Use your core and arms to lift and hold your hips off the floor. Adjust feet as necessary. Then squeeze your quad (front of thigh) to lift one leg off the wall.

GOAL: 3 rounds of 5 lifts each leg.

Focus on hips as close to the wall as you can, squeeze shoulder blades down and back while keeping your lower core (or your trail) tucked under you.

STALDER SQUATS

Description: Follow the video to do a stalder squat. The goal is to be able to hold the position while lifting one leg at a time (then eventually both feet), but to begin you may need to focus on squatting and weight bearing through your arms.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps. 

Hips low, knees straight. The flexibility will come with consistency 🙂

PRE-BRIDGE TWISTS

Description: Begin in a plank on elbows. Rotate one leg over the other while rotating on one shoulder as far as you can.

Hold for 10 seconds then return to a plank. Rotate the opposite direction.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 reps each direction.

PISTOL SINGLE LEG SQUAT TO RAISED SURFACE

Description: Begin with your arms out infront of you to assist with counterbalancing. Balance on one leg with your other leg held out in front of you. Slowly lower yourself via pistol squat to a raised surface of appropriate height (edge of bed, couch arm, couch seat). No falls or flops so make sure the raised surface is the right height for you.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps.

HANDSTAND STACKING

Description: Do a handstand wall walk up as far as you can. Engaged your core maximally while you stack your hips over your shoulders. Then bring one leg off the wall. Then switch legs.

Hold one leg off the wall and begin pulsing the second leg off. CORE TIGHT - tuck your tail and don't let your ribs flare. (and please breathe haha)

HANDSTAND ROLL OUTS

Goal: 30 sec holds x 4 reps each leg

PIRIFORMIS HIP STRETCH

Description: This move starts in standing. You will then place 1 leg on a raised surface causing your entire shin bone to be supported on the surface with the shin crossing your body. You will then lean forward causing an increase in stretch to the hip area.

**Be sure that the leg is fully supported by the surface. This move should be done on a couch, bed or some other wide surface that will allow your leg to be fully supported.**

Goal: 4 reps each leg with 15 second holds

SHOULDER STRETCH WITH TOWEL

Description: This move starts in standing. You will hold the towel with 1 arm that will lift above your head causing the towel to be placed behind your back. Then with the other arm you will reach behind your back for the towel. Work your hands towards each other using the towel as a guide to bring them closer together. When you have reached as closely together as you can, use the upper hand to pull the towel slightly up to give an extra stretch to the lower hand behind your back.

Goal: 3 reps each arm with 15 sec holds

Workout 1 is complete! I'm proud of you Lochlann!

SPLIT PULSES

Description: This move starts by leaning forward and allowing your hands to reach the ground with knees bent. Then slide your legs out to the side, straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your groin up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.

Goal: 4 reps with 15 seconds of pulsing
