[00:00] and it shows. (knuckles and neck crack) of our sedentary lifestyles. and it's helping thousands of people live without pain,
[00:14] and reclaim the body's full range of motion. and to see how much progress I could make This video is sponsored by Squarespace, more on them later.
[00:29] I can do this, this, and this. but even with these remarkable accomplishments,
[00:41] I'm feeling more aches and pains, that have left me feeling concerned. through a viral video of you doing Olympic style lifts
[00:57] What were you trying to say with that video? One day I was on social media, and I was on my newsfeed, like, X mark/check mark certain movement patterns
[01:13] And, you can get like a check mark. on how to train various positions and ranges of motion, "This range is completely bad for you, It's dangerous.
[01:27] to your daily life, and in sports. I'll let you guess why, is a mobility coach - Mobility training, at least in the form that we do it
[01:42] It's really about joint-specific strength training. it's primarily about strengthening muscles at mid-ranges of motion, whereas in mobility,
[01:57] the joints and the connective tissue. dysfunction, limitations, imbalances. and resilient body if we strengthen our areas of weakness.
[02:15] an entire program for me to get me through the next 30 days. I've had in the past, like my knees and ankles, Today is day one of mobility training.
[02:31] (rhythmic strumming) It stands for controlled articular rotations. through its full range of motion
[02:46] and awareness of the movement itself, isolating the rotation of your neck, shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, and even your toes,
[02:59] a range of motion that's often neglected This is the baseline of a lot of mobility programs, flexibility, and overall movement.
[03:13] That was much different than I thought it would be. that it was gonna be more stretching. Clearly, I have a lot of work to do.
[03:26] to my morning routine. over the course of about 15 minutes. It started to gimme greater awareness
[03:40] I noticed the imbalance of flexibility And, it also gave me an effective way to loosen up my body But, as I learned this was just one small part
[03:54] I realized there was a lot more to it. Okay, I'm gonna jump into a 50-minute mobility class now, (air whips)
[04:08] and today I'm gonna be working out my knees. through its full range of motion. With this one, it's actually really easy to overcompensate,
[04:23] so you really need to try to focus on that knee joint. I'll rotate my knee and place a few books under my foot
[04:35] it's onto Pails and Rails, So, for my pails rotation, into these books here, rotating at the knee.
[04:50] For rails, you initiate force in the opposing direction. Liftoffs, similar to Pails and Rails,
[05:03] After a few more of these exercises, we finish off with more CARS rotations, than we had at the start of the class.
[05:16] I thought there was no way I could possibly feel soreness I'm in a little bit of pain. that I haven't actually worked out those muscles
[05:32] One thing that I've been working on a lot lately by updating my website. Okay, that pun was a bit of a stretch.

[06:28] down below this video that helps to support my channel. My legs are killing me. My favorite advice I've gotten so far about mobility
[06:42] Regardless of what new activity we're getting into, right from the start. but that usually leads to overcompensation.
[06:56] My neck moves to the side as I rotate my shoulders, So, I reminded myself over and over again, (gentle electronic music)
[07:12] targeting everything from my spine and my hips I progressively added more tension. and then eventually moved up to 90%.
[07:25] you do BJJ, you're a dancer, you're a yogi, having greater joint function like no other form of training that I've seen.
[07:41] that just means you're a stronger human being. isn't huge from day one to day 30, and I'm doing a much better job at isolating each movement.
[07:56] but it's realistic, and it's a step in the right direction If you wanna learn more about mobility training And, if you like this video, then please subscribe.
