This class is intended to use before you begin active strength building classes. This class guides you through a simple and brief self-mobility assessment to make sure your joints have the range of motion they need to perform basic strength moves. Having appropriate joint range of motion can mitigate injury and decrease compensations, therefore setting the stage for a safe, smart, and effective strength training journey.

Take this class and test your mobility. If you think you are able to do all the moves being taught, move on to the strength program. If you discover that an area of your body needs more training/attention to increase range of motion or alignment, then try the classes listed below by body area. For example, if you discover that you cannot lift your arms overhead without tilting the rib cage and flaring your front ribs, you would take the class for Shoulder Flexion either once or a few times, then start to incorporate the strength classes. Retake the Full Body Mobility Assessment class in 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks to monitor your progress.
