Mobility: "Lateral Reach"
Directions: Perform my
Dynamic Warm-Up
exercises at “beginning” of workout for maximum benefit and improvement.
Pick a safe level; never be unsafe or exceed your capacity to “control” your
body!
Stay in your "midline" as you reach
laterally to each side.
OBJECTIVE: Open up low & mid-back.
-
Stand upright and "tall" with good posture.
-
Place arms at sides with palms facing in towards thighs.
-
Without slouching forward, bend spine laterally, or “straight over” to one side and reach hand down leg towards knee and lower leg. Make sure you don't bend knees to compensate for tight back.
-
Stand back upright then alternate to opposite direction.
-
Perform 5-10 reps per side.
Tips: Make sure you don't bend "forward" as you
reach to the side. People are used to bending and slouching forward but
not bending sideways--this one is to restore mobility in "lateral" flexion only.
-
People jack this one up big time! Do NOT slouch, collapse, round, or bend knees! Pretend there is a wall in front of your face preventing you from rounding forward--the only way you can go is straight off to one side.

*Note:

individuals. If you have an injury, or abnormal pain is present,
see your physician or a certified physical
therapist before continuing your exercises.
