Use this series as an active warm-up or as part of your strength plan to stay balanced and strong in all planes of motion.

Mobility and movement in all planes of motion are critical for any athlete to reduce the risk of injury. This movement series hits every ROM for the lower body while also improving balance. We recommend 2-3 sets of 4-5 reps with body weight as a warm-up. For your workout hold a kettle bell or dumbbell and do 3-4 sets of 4-6 reps

Note: reverse, forward, lateral, kosach = one rep.
