24.2 pliability Warm-Up:
Cat Cow Hands+Knees
- Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position, with your wrists directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips.
- Inhale deeply as you arch your lower back, dropping your belly toward the floor. Lift your chest and gaze toward the ceiling, creating a gentle curve in your spine.
- Pause at the top of the arch, take a deep breath, and feel the stretch across your chest and abdomen.
- Exhale slowly, rounding your spine upward. Tuck your chin to your chest, engaging your core as you press your hands into the mat. Feel the stretch along your back.
- Slowly continue this process for the duration of the pose
Runners Plus Samson Mob
- Start by taking a significant step forward into the runner’s stretch, keeping your back heel off the ground
- Perform the runner’s stretch by pressing the back heel into the ground. Keep the back foot pointed forward to engage the calf.
- Bend the back knee down to the ground while simultaneously sinking the hips forward. Feel a strong stretch in the front of the back hip.
- Raise your hands over your head to increase the stretch
- Maintain the stretch for a few breaths to deepen the hip flexor stretch.
