Hi friends!
I had a couple requests to make a post about conditioning and also hip mobility/openers and luckily enough, my conditioning routine has a good chunk of hip stability (because that’s where the mobility comes from) and openers involved.
This is a 45 ish long video where I demo different movements and tell you how many times I do each one. Typically, if I were doing these movements all in a flow I would be doing this for 45 minutes minimum, often an hour, or if I’d want to make it an afternoon I’d spend upwards of 1.5 or 2 hours on movement. If I was doing a longer session I’d be breaking it up with various rolling out exercises, more nerve flossing, and longer and repeated stretches. Doing a stretch a second time around after going through a series is super effective and feels great, highly recommend!
In the video i mention another video I made at the beginning of the pandemic, and I highly recommend checking it out because for all your pole and aerial people, it’s geared towards making your upper body less tight and more mobile!
In my video post history I have a full body workout, a core workout, and a lower body workout, so if you want a guide to do it along with, those exist, they are just a couple years back. I feel like my overview is more informative and will help you design an effective conditioning routine for yourself. That being said, there are a million more ways to add to your conditioning and everyone’s body is different! A good resource for more ideas and tonnes of info is Cirque Physio and I love her page and use it all the time!
Next videos on my list to make:
Lower body roll out (this will help with hip mobility and getting muscles to fire/not be inhibited)
