Short Class 68: Hip CAR Variations
Class Focus: HIPS
•
24m
This class will showcase a few different variations of Hip CARs
Equipment Needed: Yoga block, tennis ball, kettlebell, sticks - all optional.
There’s many bases and different ways to do your CARs, and in this class we'll offer you some variety specific to the hip.
Here’s the bases we utilize:
1. Standing Hip CAR
2. Quadruped Hip CAR
3. Side-lying straight leg Hip CAR
4. Side-lying Hip CAR (high irradiation + tennis ball)
5. Supine Hip CAR (Partial rep)
We’re not working any PAILs/RAILs in this class - which is often used to expand range of motion. With CARs we express our full ranges of motion and we can develop greater body control.
The tempo and irradiation will play a big role in how great of a training stimulus you want to achieve with your CARs. In our 4th base, we ramp up the irradiation to 60-80% and we slow down the tempo even more than usual - this creates a strong training stimulus. This will really help develop end-range control.
You always have freedom to go at your own pace and intensity. Always listen to your body, and never work in any range of motion that creates pain.
I hope you enjoy this class!
