4 classes per week
This is my ultimate advanced program. We will do 4 classes a week for 3 months. We will target Hips, Shoulders/Scap and Spine. These are bigger joints that give you a lot of bang for your buck.
In this 3 month program I will teach you how to gradually progress through more advanced classes each month in a systematic approach. This program can be great for those who just completed the 3 month ultimate intermediate program and want to continue their progress - or for those who’ve been in the program for 4-6 months and want a more advanced 3 month program moving forward.

I recommend you space out the sessions with an even amount of days in-between if possible. Example: Day 1 is a Monday, Day 2 is a Tuesday, Day 3 is a Thursday, and Day 4 is a Friday. On the days you don’t do classes, I highly recommend doing your full body CARs routine (Intro Video 5).

If you did want to target other joints in addition to this program here’s how you can do it. You can add an additional day (or days) to your program. Here’s a list of classes you can add as your 5th day (or 6th day) option, depending on what joint is your biggest priority to add:
Class 16: Knee Flexion & Extension
Class 20: Knees IR & ER
Class 26: Ankles Inversion/Eversion/Dorsi
Class 28: Knee IR/ER/Flexion
Short Class 6: Elbows
Short Class 5: Wrist
Short Class 33: Neck: Rotation
Short Class 67: Neck: Flexion/Extension
Short Class 82: Neck: Lateral flexion
Short Class 10: Ankles & Big toe dorsiflexion
Short Class 28: Ankle Dorsi/Plantar
Short Class 39: Toes/intrinsic foot strength
Short Class 42: Calf specific
Short Class 47: Wrist Flexion and extension
Short Class 56: Elbow pronation
Short Class 62: Knee End-Range Control
Short Class 80: Elbow Supination
Short Class 85: TMJ (Jaw)
Short Class 86: Finger CARs
You can checkout all my Ankle/Knee/Foot/Toe Classes here:
https://kinstretchwithbeard.vhx.tv/class-focus-ankle-knee-foot-toes
You can checkout all my Wrist/Elbow/Hand classes here:
https://kinstretchwithbeard.vhx.tv/class-focus-wrist-elbow
So you could just add a “Day 5” option to your program and fill in with one of these classes. Which joint you would pick on your 4th day would be completely dependent on you and your goals. You could even add a ‘Day 6’ as well if you had two additional joints you wanted to prioritize each week. So an example would be Day 5 is for the knees and Day 6 is for the ankles - then you could pick from any class available above to target that joint.
A reminder - make sure to listen to your body and go at your own pace. At no point should you work in any range of motion that creates pain. When training in areas of past injury/pain/dysfunction - the tissue quality could be weak, so the amount of force/stress/load it can absorb will be low at first. Intelligent training is gradually building up and adhering to *progressive* overload. In these areas keep your intensity levels low at first and gradually build up.

After you’ve completed your 3 month program - you can absolutely repeat this program from the beginning or pick from other advanced programs.
