Hit the (cos)sack
Kinstretch On-Demand

58m
In this class, we trained the joint motions required for the straight leg action during a cossack squat, namely: ankle inversion and hip abduction. Improving lateral ankle range of motion is important for most people since this is the most typical way that ankle injuries occur. And frontal plane training (moving laterally as opposed to forward and backward) is super important for strengthening the tissues required to stabilise and control your pelvis when you move. Also great if you just want to improve your cossack squat!
Equipment needed:
yoga block
chair/something to sit on
