This month, we’re advancing our journey into mobility with Advanced Mobility Complexes. Building on the foundational movements we explored previously, these movements are designed to further enhance our bodies’ flexibility, strength, and coordination through more complex sequences.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROGRESSIVE MOBILITY
Taking your mobility practice to the next level with advanced sequences is an exciting step if you’ve been breezing through intermediate exercises and are itching for a bigger challenge. This upgrade is about pushing your limits in flexibility and strength, with a big spotlight on better coordination and balance. Think of it as the secret sauce for making your body move smoother and more efficiently while getting through your daily grind.
WARNING: All exercises should be performed with no pain whatsoever. Perform these in a safe environment with proper form.
FIRST COMPLEX: ADVANCED MOBILITY COMPLEX
The “Advanced Full Body Mobility Complex” is a dynamic sequence kick-off that starts from a kneeling position with an overhead stick, transitions into a single-leg step forward to feet together and ends in a lunge-to-squat motion. This complex engages the entire body, emphasising balance, coordination, and core stability. The initial kneeling posture with an overhead stick prepares the body for the complex movements ahead, enhancing upper body strength and posture. The progression into a single-leg stance and lunge deeply involves the core, hips, and leg muscles, offering a comprehensive mobility workout. This complex is ideal for those aiming to advance their full-body mobility and support more dynamic, full-range movements and activities.
SECOND COMPLEX: ADVANCED TORSO MOBILITY COMPLEX
The “Advanced Torso Mobility Complex” merges a standing pancake stretch with a T-spine rotation. This blend is essential for augmenting the mobility and flexibility of the torso, including the spine, shoulders, and chest. Initiating with the standing pancake stretch promotes flexibility across the hamstrings and lower back. Progressing to walking both hands towards one leg and executing a T-spine rotation enhances thoracic mobility. It engages the shoulders and obliques, facilitating a thorough stretch and strengthening of the torso. Perfect for anyone desiring to amplify their torso’s mobility for superior performance in sports, activities, and daily life.
This is the eleventh and final instalment of our “Move Freely and Confidently” series on mobility. We’ll be taking a month’s break before returning with a fresh series.
