Short Class 135: Knee Extension
Class Focus: ANKLE, KNEE, FOOT & TOES
•
28m
This class is for Knee Extension
Equipment needed: Yoga blocks, something to elevate your foot up like a balance pad/towel/yoga block, and ankle weight is optional.
This is a good option for those who have struggled with knee issues or those who are just looking to improve their overall knee capacity and resiliency.
We’ll be working 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our extension base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much or if this is an area that's been problematic for you, just stick to just 2 rounds at first and slowly up to the third round over time - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If this is an area of past injury or weakness - make sure to keep your intensity levels low, especially during PAILs/RAILs. It’s important to gradually build up the intensity and volume over time, as the tissue in this area could be weak and may not be able to withstand high levels of force quite yet. Start off light, listen to your body, and gradually build up over time.
Let’s get those Knee Gains!
