Flexible Mobility #8

Mobility and Fascia Relief

This is an amazing example of mobility and flexibility routine, which will open up all different fascia nets in your body (we have 5 of them). Fascia is like a net, which covers, connects and transmit information from all connective tissues in our body; muscles, ligaments and tendons. It works like internet. If your fascia is tight, you will experience tightness in connective tissue, which will obstruct your fitness performance. And usually we are not really aware of it. So in order for your body to get all the possible and upmost optimal strength, speed, power, agility, stability, mobility and flexibility, you will need to work on your fascia mobility routines. Your performance in any sport will be increased.

This routine is amazing to start with and have it as a benchmark mobility workout. Move with a flow of breath and imagine your are breathing like a wave of the ocean. Do as many reps as you need in order to relax and release the tensions. You can pause the video and do some reps extra if you feel you need it. If one side feel more restricted, stay on that side a bit longer. This is a full body mobility routine which target back, front and lateral fascia nets and also deep power net. Hope you will give it a try.
