PLUS: AC Skater (Squat)
Kinstretch On-Demand
•
53m
In this class we trained the pre-requisites for a skater squat/lunge. We worked on pelvis rotation, hip rotation and adduction and knee flexion and brought it all together in some skater squats variations at the end. This also worked on the mechanics needed to get "into" our right and left side when we move and walk which is important for improving movement variability and reducing pain/injuries as well as improving performance.
EQUIPMENT:
A Mat
2 x Yoga Blocks
Some Wall Space
A Table/Sofa/Chair (to lean against)

In this class, we focused on getting the spine and hips moving through breathwork and end range isometric contractions. We focused specifically on thoracic flexion and extension and hip internal rotation and then we finished with some spine rotation work and some surprisingly challenging side pla...

"The Big Dipper" (16th October)
This class was focused on building better shoulders in extension; starting with breathwork we then worked on shoulder rotation and finally did some tough shoulder extension work. We then finished up with some dip variations to maximise the shoulder gains.

"Everything's Reachy" (20th October)
In this class, we focus on improving our ability to "reach" through breathwork and then shoulder and scapular mechanics. A lot of shoulder and upper body problem stem from an inability for the scapula to glide along the rib cage. We focused on breathwork to improve the shape of the rib cage so th...
