What Stretches to Do Before Walking - 5 Stretch Routine
Walking is the superfood of movement. We're built to walk. Most of us don't do it nearly enough. And because of the largely inactive lives most of us lead even when we do walk we do it with poor form.
I want to share 5 stretches you can do before you go on your walk. You should hold each of these stretches for at least a minute to ensure you actually affect the muscles.
Doing this short little routine before your walk will help open up tight joints so you can walk more efficiently and retrain your body to walk correctly. Another great tip is to wear as minimalist shoe as you can comfortably get away with.

For this Movement Monday, I decided to a little crawling combo. There's not thing fancy about this movement combo. It's a basic crawling sequence.
But if I go crazy right out of the gate, where do we go next!?
This combo is just a hand-knee or hand-foot crawl (you're choice) for 10 yards, 2 tripod transitions to each side, and then a 10 yard inverted crawl back to the start.
Repeat this sequence 10 times. You can rest in between sets if you need to or you can just blow straight through the combo. It's up to you. But remember movement quality is paramount!

I love it, but recently I have been losing my fight with coffee. Caffeine is probably the most used drug in the world. Its only close competition would be alcohol if I had to guess. I want to share my personal experience with how coffee was making my life more challenging, what caffeine is, and how it could cause similar issues with you. Let's grab a cup of decaf and get into it!

Over the years, most of us have learned the bad habit of bending over with our spine rather than squatting down with our hips. This one motor habit can lead to a lot of back problems.
Because of all of our time sitting we have not only developed poor motor patterns, but most of us also have weak hamstrings and glutes. These are some of the largest muscles in the body and should be doing most of the heavy lifting.
The muscles in your back are mostly for stabilization. When you combine poor motor habits with weak moving muscles, you have a recipe for injury. By focusing on squatting rather than bending over, you can help save yourself a future of pain and suffering.

We need movement to be healthy. But that doesn't mean grinding out lots of time in the gym. You can get a great movement session in even if you only have a few spare minutes. Spreading mini-movement sessions throughout your day is a great way to improve your strength and mobility without all the hassle of heading to the gym. It just takes a little creativity and a timer!

This simple exercise/stretch can go a long way to restoring mobility to your neck. Forward head posture creates a ton of tension in the back of you neck and it shortens the muscles on the front of your neck. Head ramping, the exercise I'm sharing today, can help reverse forward head posture and relieve neck tension. I recommend practicing this movement several times a day. It's pretty low intensity so 10-20 reps a sitting should be beneficial.

If you're like most people, you spend a lot of time at a desk or behind the wheel of a car. There's a good chance you suffer from a tight neck, upper back, and shoulders. Today I want to share a pandiculation to release tight neck and shoulders.
A pandiculation is a movement, commonly considered a stretch, to release tight muscles and reset your nervous system. This is different from stretching in that it has a lasting effect. This particular pandiculation helps release tension in your neck, shoulders, and upper back. It only takes a few minutes and you can do it throughout the day as needed!
Enjoy your now more relaxed upper back, neck, and shoulders!

In this video, I share how you can break down 2 of my favorite techniques for getting up from the floor so you can focus on things that may be giving you issues. These are extremely useful techniques, but sequences of them can be used effectively to build more strength and stability.

Do you hate toe pain? I hate toe pain. That's why I want to share two self-massage techniques that help eliminate it. This massage for toe pain is a great follow-up if you've tried massaging your calves and the front of your shin, but you still haven't managed to eliminate your toe pain.
You don't need any equipment except your fingers. Perform the massage 6-12 strokes at a time and repeat several times throughout the day. This massage is also a great way to help restore natural toe alignment.
