Hey, Coach Risley here! I know right.. 5 minutes, yes that’s all it takes if you know what you’re doing. Today, I will be helping you figure out your personal 5-minute routine as fast as possible.
First, focus on your weaknesses. Find 3 daily movements you hate doing, chances are you’re weak there. Some examples of this include:
Squatting
Bending Over
Jumping
Reaching Over The Shoulders
Once you have found your 3 weaknesses, dissect them further. How do we improve these movements? Well, let's start by trying to access more range of motion for them and start resisting more forces with them.
Here are a few examples: (this takes 5 minutes!)
Squats: Start by seeing where your current mobility will take you. Then, try to go deeper every session by using resistance to better your hip, knee, and ankle mobility.
Jumping: Start with both legs and use your toes to help spring you into the air. Use resistance when necessary to improve feet strength.
Bending Over: Whether it's with a rounded or neutral spine, the goal is to use resistance to explore further into lower back flexion or hip hinging.
Reaching Over The Shoulders: Bring your arms into the air and ideally keep them straight above your head, use resistance when necessary.
The whole idea is to expose your body to new ranges of motion that it's not used to. Then once your range of motion has increased, we can start to add resistance to make those newly found ranges of motion as strong as we can make them. Once we put this all together, this will make your joints healthier than ever! As always let me know what you’re experiences are and how we can help!
See you on the next one.
