Leonid takes on "The Bear"

Mobility Week 1
Once you have gone through this week's mobility moves twice with a coach it is your responsibility to perform the posted reps on your own either before or after class.  These movements can also be done at home and require no prior warm-up. This week's evercises are: Cat/Cow, T-Twists and Side Twists. Week one has an emphasis on "Spinal Flossing" which describes movements that increase neural function of the spine by freeing impinged nerves.  Remember that we're not looking for a lot of mobility in the spine so go easy on the end ranges of motion.  It should not feel like an intense stretch.

If anyone wants to brave the outdoors, they're more than welcome to take the kettlebell outside and use the scaffolding for pull-ups to get a regulation "Helen" time. The 400m run is to 3rd st. and back.
