Diddly Squat (29th June)
Integrated Strength
•
51m
Session 6 in our Squat to Trot Series continues the work from Saturday's Kinstretch class in which we focused on developing a better connection to internal rotation of the pelvis and hips and the role it plays in our squat pattern as a whole. The frontal plane muscles around our pelvis (adductors, glute med, TFL or inside/outside of thighs) are targeted heavily as we work through the session. Prepare for a good burn.
Equipment:
Elevated Surface (chair, sofa, couch)
Yoga block
Foam roller (if you have one, not essential if you don't)
Rolled up towel (or similar)
