Move With Instinct-Dynamic Warm Up
We are in the beautiful Information Age- technology is booming! It's so easy to not only to be misled, but also to develop an overwhelmed and judgmental mindset, toward others and yourself.
-
Give yourself grace and forgiveness.
Listen to your body (this skill takes time and practice to develop).
Adapt to where you are in your progress.
Build an action plan to get where you want to be.
Humbly seek help to guide you to your goals.

In practice this means to MOVE WITH INSTINCT
When you feel feel weakness and pain, listen and plan for it.
A common example of this is overloading your major lifts without doing the ground work of maintaining healthy prep work.
Push your pride aside-
✔️Warm Up
✔️Plan Movement Prep
(I move around in this step because I developed the skill to move with instinct- my body told me my shoulders needed more prep, so I moved the joint and settled into a stretch first)
✔️Add the Accessory Work
✔️Slow down for the Cool Down
✔️Program and do the Mobility Work-even when your'e hungry, tired and ready to go home!

With a hyper-mobile shoulder joint I learned the importance of these steps. But don't let yourself get to an injury to learn this!
