Hip Mobility + Glutes (25 Min Class)

January 20, 2021 by Nicole Leave a Comment

I’ve got another mobility class for you! If you missed the last one focused on shoulders, check it out HERE. Today we’ll focus on hip mobility, strengthening through the glutes as we do.

If you love this type of work, you can get access to more mobility classes by becoming a Patreon member. Patreon members not only get additional classes, but a monthly workout calendar. It’s $9.99/month with no commitment. 🙂

Hip Mobility + Glutes Class

We’ll pretty much flow from one hip mobility sequence to the next, moving continuously through the class. At the end, however, we’ll hold a few static stretches. If you’re using this class as an extended warm up/start of a longer strength workout, I recommend skipping the static holds at the end.

Mobility work is so important for a body that functions its best and remains injury-free. And as you work on mobility, you’ll notice improved performance in your other workouts as well.

Shoulder Mobility (22 Min Class)

January 8, 2021 by Nicole Leave a Comment

Let’s show our shoulders some love with this 22-minute shoulder mobility workout class. It’s great for everyone, but especially if you’ve been spending increased time sitting at a desk or are otherwise feeling tight and stiff through your upper body. Maybe try it as a lunchtime work break!

You could also use it as the warm up/first half of an upper body strength workout. Just skip the static stretch at the end if you do.

If you enjoy class, you can get access to more mobility videos by becoming a Patreon member. Not only will you get additional workout classes to the ones I post publicly to YouTube, but I also provide monthly workout calendars.

Shoulder Mobility Workout Class

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

Dish towel or a yoga strap (if you’re really tight through the shoulders, a yoga strap may be preferable for the added length)

This 22-minute mobility flow focuses on the shoulders. You’ll notice thoracic spine mobility, back strengthening and chest open are integral parts of this shoulder mobility work. We’ll continuously move through the shoulder mobility exercises, holding just one static stretch at the end.

Pin the image below to save this class for later!

If you enjoy this class, I’d also recommend this Upper Body & Core Posture Flow. And for more like these, you can become a Patreon member.

Mini Pilates Flow Core Finisher

December 28, 2020 by Nicole Leave a Comment

This mini Pilates flow core finisher is great if you’re short on time or are looking for a bit of core work to round out a longer workout. Focus is on obliques.

This is a short version of the Mini Flows classes I’ve shared in the past:

Resistance Band Mini Flows Class – Glutes & Outer Hips
Towel Mini Flows Class – Inner Thighs

If you like this class, you can get access to more by becoming a Patreon member! 🙂

Mini Pilates Flow Core Finisher

In this class, we start with a quick warm up that moves right onto our mini flows workout. The best way to describe this structure is to picture a Pilates mat class. We essentially take a small sequence out of that class and turn it into a circuit.

The mini flow is a short sequence (2:45 minutes long). You’ll do it twice on the right then twice on the left. You rest for 15 seconds in between completed sequences and 30 seconds between sides.

Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. We finish class with a (very quick) guided cool down.
