In this full week of extension workouts, we will practice isometric joint positions in the sagittal plane from the hip, shoulder, and spine. As we begin our week, it is important that all our muscles are activated and responsive. For this reason, we are starting with isometrics.
Isometrics can improve range of motion, reduce pain, and help us to uncover your weak areas. Anytime during this workout, if you feel tight or shakey, make sure to push extremely light!! You can do this video over and over as you move through this series to reset. We will perform several standing, supine, kneeling, prone, and seated positional isometrics to align our body to work against gravity. Take note of any areas that feel particularly tight or limited. This is likely due to muscle weakness.
