Movement Improvement Program – Your Future Joint Health will THANK YOU!
Movement quality done consistently is far more important than random or infrequent high intensity efforts towards on going goals that never have clear direction. Consistency working on and drilling functional human movements is the clear direction. Develop a foundation for stability in all movement patterns, then strengthen all movement patterns. Maintaining good function and pushing new limits will happen as a result of making MOVEMENT 1ST.
This 3 week program has only 4 workouts. The purpose behind only 4 workouts, is to work on technique and skill in respects to mobility and mechanics . All exercises should be done with the best form possible and never done at an intensity that takes away form. Each week find a new way to make this program one step harder than the week before. This can be done in the form of: Tempo, Speed, Rest Time, Intensity, Heavier Wt. or any other added stimulus, BUT just remember the GOAL is to move better.
