Short Class 51: Forward Fold Mobility
No Equipment Classes
•
31m
A skill based class that works towards a better forward fold
No Equipment Needed: If you have limited mobility you may need a stretching band.
This class is all about developing a buttery forward fold, and we’ll be training the position specifically in our PAILs/RAILs base. You can expect all kinds of tenderness, and possible visits to cramp city…so beware.
If you have any pulling or uncomfortable sensations behind your knee in our PAILs/RAILs base, make sure to slightly bend your knees so that starts to dissipate. We want to feel the stretch predominantly in our hamstrings.
If you’re having issues with cramping, make sure to lower the intensity/difficulty and only create as much force as you can without going into full cramp mode.
We will work 3 rounds of PAILs/RAILs in our base, but always listen to your body and go at your own pace. If 3 rounds feels like too much, stick to just 2 rounds and slowly build up - or do the 3rd round at much lower intensities.
If the forward fold is a big priority for you, programming this class 1-2x a week (with 3-4 days rest in-between) would be ideal.
Hope you enjoy!
