Seven movements, in order, thirty to sixty seconds each. No equipment except a bar. It isn't a workout and shouldn't be treated like one.
The seven
- 1 Hop around and warm up Unstructured. Let the stiffness announce itself.
- 2 Dead hang Switching between passive and active inside the same hang.
- 3 Shoulder and wrist rotations Slow circles, then loaded extension and flexion.
- 4 Upward dog into puppy pose Same place, opposite directions.
- 5 Deep squat into deep lateral lunges The position we lost to chairs.
- 6 Hamstring stretches Hinge from the hip, not the spine.
- 7 Calf stretches and ankle movements Ankles are the deep squat.
