Active Mobility Drills

This video is taken from our Upper Body Program, and shows you my favorite exercises for improving active mobility in the upper body. These are the best exercises (in my opinion) to improve functional range of motion. Fit these into your schedule whenever you have time! If your goal is to improve your shoulder mobility, try to do them at least 3x per week. It only takes a few minutes per day!

Advanced Hip Flexor Workout for Strength & Flexibility

This is an advanced hip workout to strengthen and improve the flexibility of your psoas muscle.
