Short Class 46: Hinge Point - Lumbar Spine
Class Focus: SPINE & NECK

Hinge Point Training for the Lumbar Spine
Equipment needed: A Powerband (or pull-up band)
A healthy spine is where each spinal joint has the ability to move, with control, relative to another. Each joint should be unrestricted in its motion. We want forces to be distributed across the spine evenly, allowing us to diffuse forces, which will mitigate injury.
You'll sometimes see people move their spine in chunks and hinges. This is because they lack proper segmentation throughout the spine, which means the forces being placed into the spine will be distributed to to the sections above and bellow the segments that lack proper motion.
So in this class we'll utilize hinge point training to get very specific to certain parts of the spine that might not have good movement. Ideally we're trying to work one specific vertebrae at a time - much easier said than done. If you struggle a lot with this class at first, it's normal. This takes a lot of practice and repetition to get better at, so just stick with it and do your best. I promise it gets better with time.
While this class can be slow and boring, it's important nonetheless. I hope you enjoy it!
