In this class we focused on building hip extension range of motion and strength/control so that we could better use it during the gait cycle and in exercises such as split squats. We also trained some big toe dorsiflexion as it is also heavily involved in being able to access hip extension properly.
A very useful class if you do split squats and lunges in the gym. Also if you ever, like, walk and stuff!
Equipment:
tennis ball (or rolled up pair of socks)
elevated surface with an edge (chair and chair leg works well)
yoga block
cushion (to support your knee)

El Scapitan (15th May)
We deep dive in to scapular range of motion in this class. Because having scapula that move is so important for having healthy shoulders and a healthy upper back. We hit PAILsRAILs for all key scapula motions and then load those ranges with some challenging scapula CAR variations!

Abduction Construction (19th May)
In this class, we focused on building a hip that can abduct. But abduction is made up of two parts: the femur (thigh bone) in the hip joint and rotation of the pelvis. If we want to maximally abduct our leg, then we will use both together. But if we want to have maximal control of our pelvis and ...
