Short Class 116: Thumb
20 - 40 minutes
•
22m
This class is for the Thumb 👍
Equipment Needed: We’ll be using a plyo-box to place our hand on, but you can use any table, bench, or any type of surface.
For those who have issues with their hands and thumbs, especially for those who spend a lot of time on the computer and on their phones - this class is for you!
In our Thumb Extension base we will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs, but always listen to your body. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
Please remember - this is an area that doesn’t get trained specifically in other forms of training, so the quality of tissue here might not be very strong quite yet. Keep your overall intensity a little bit lower when do your PAILs/RAILs in this area, especially if this is a problem area for you, and then you can gradually build up the intensity over time - adhering to progressive overload.
Also just FYI - this class is much harder than it looks, those little joints are challenging and tricky to train! Christa had many different faces during the class and it was amazing haha.
I hope you enjoy the class!
