If possible, I recommend spacing out the sessions throughout your week. Example: Day 1 is a Monday, Day 2 is a Tuesday, Day 3 is a Thursday. Day 4 is a Friday.
Just a reminder - when training in areas of past injury/pain/dysfunction - it’s really important to keep your intensity levels low at first. The quality of tissue in these areas could be weak, so the amount of stress/force/load these tissues can absorb will be low at first. So keep those intensity levels low in the beginning, especially during PAILs/RAILs, and then gradually build up over time. The goal is to adhere to progressive overload and slowly build up. Always listen to your body and go at your own pace, and never work in any painful ranges of motion. Discomfort can be normal, but we never want that feeling to move towards a sharp pain, pinch, or twinge. It’s totally okay to work in smaller ranges of motion at first as well, and then gradually build up the range over time. Slowly building up in areas of weakness/limitation is definitely key!
I hope you enjoy the program!

-
Short Class 92: Knee External Rotation
This will be a single joint focus class for Knee External Rotation.
No equipment needed.
The fundamental motion of our knee is rotation. So in order to expand space (“mobility”) within the joint capsule it's important to establish rotational capacity. In this class we’ll target external rotatio...
-
Short Class 113: Low Back Rotation
Our first ever low back rotation class!
No equipment needed. But if you have limitations in your low back rotation, using yoga blocks can help decrease the overall range of motion in our PAILs/RAILs base.
This class is great for the low back, SI Joint, and even for the hips.
If the low back o...
