Intro Video 5: CARs Follow Along Routine
No Equipment Classes
•
27m
Here you can follow along and do your CARs routine like a class.
Do your CARs with good intent and focus. Try not to compensate as best as you can, but it's totally normal to have compensations at first - this will get better over time.
Reminder - never push through any pain. Back out of any range of motion that creates pain, bypassing those areas, and then continuing through the rest of the motion.
I personally do CARs every single day. On the days you don’t do an actual Kinstretch class, I recommend doing this full body CARs routine if you have the time available (about 25min). Obviously it’s not mandatory, but it’s a great joint maintenance routine and if done consistently it will really payoff. The majority of the Kinstretch classes start with CARs, so you don’t necessarily have to do them on the same day you do the classes, unless of course you want to.
I have several CARs routines. Including a ‘Morning CARs Routine’ which is a low intensity version that can be done shortly after waking up if desired. I personally like the CARs routine from Intro Video 5, but if you ever need a low intensity version you can do the Morning CARs variation. You can find all my CARs routines here: https://kinstretchwithbeard.vhx.tv/cars-routines
Consistent CARs = happy joints
