A lot of times when we lift weights our joints move in fixed positions.
Straight up and down!
Take the squat, bench and deadlift as an example.
You’re squatting down, pressing up, and/or folding over to pick up weights.
It’s easy to find yourself sore or tight from doing these movements the next day.
3 SPINE MOBILITY EXERCISES
Here are some of the movements I use in my training to help decompress my spine and allow my joints to open up.
You can use these in between weighted sets as part of your active recovery!
Favorite complementary move for squatting movements
THE SQUAT SPRAWL
Favorite complementary move for pressing movements
THE GUNSLINGER
Favorite complementary move for hinging movements (like the deadlift or bent over row).
STANDING SPINAL WAVE
These are back stretches you can do everyday!
Want to take the thinking out of the gym?
You can with customized fitness programming.
Never go into the gym without a plan again.
Much love,
