Standing 'Hinge & fold' (breathing form)
BW 'front-folding'-range
•
2m 22s
THE WHAT & HOW:
Whilst primarily a breathing-frame, one which combines controlled inhalation & exhalation with a maximal "hinging" stretch of the lower posterior-chain and “folding” to a seated position on the heels, it also serves as a low-intensity prehabilitation context for the knees in deep flexion and the toes in end-range extension.
As there is also a moderate balance aspect to maintaining the bottom heel-seated “perch” position, this also injects a structural-awareness, proprioceptive & stability-development stimulus which is challenged further by the effort to “perch” oneself as HIGH up on the “toes” (balls of feet) as possible.

Seated & standing ‘pike-pulsing’
THE WHAT:
Simple contexts for providing stimulus to develop the elasticity & range of the posterior chain in pike/front-folded positions. Not only do these ranges represent what might be called a "fundamental" human-range (i.e. being able to reach forward & touch the ground, hence the age-old fle... -
Ankle-dorsiflexion development
THE WHAT:
Whist consistent practice of these two simple forms contributes toward developing range & elasticity in ankle-dorsiflexion, their form & position (i.e. 'hinged' in the hip), also affects the hamstrings of the 'working' leg. For this reason, they are equally valuable in developing FRONT-... -
Unilateral 'good-morning' pulses
THE WHAT:
A simple context which takes the unilateral, straight-legged 'good-morning' form to work in the END-range only, with focus on range & elasticity development of both hinging & front-folding positions. Because of this, it has notable transferability to the front-folded 'Head-to-toe' mobil...
