Travelling 'squat-bounce'
Lower-body elasticity
•
29s
THE WHAT:
A simple & accessible squat context which expresses & develops the elasticity of the lower-body articulations and their intrinsic connection to the upper-body. As it travels through space it is fundamentally a LOCOMOTION-conditioning context, although, as a pattern in and of itself, it offers nothing in the way of practical optionality.
Be mindful - whilst "healthy" joints naturally express this quality of generating & absorbing force to one degree or another in all bipedal activities, it can simultaneously aggravate areas of existing inflammation and exacerbate them.

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-... -
The 'Ostrich Walk'
THE WHAT & HOW:
A dynamic, ballistic locomotion pattern which develops the elasticity of the posterior-chain, further to range in front-folding & active compression (when executed with this intent, i.e. active PULLING of the top of the head toward the floor).Practitioners should be mindful - wh...

Walking front & back sagittal-kicks
THE WHAT:
