Functionally Fit By Brian Schiff

Hip tightness and limited mobility can impact the overall health of the lower kinetic chain and lower back. This exercise provides a simple way to work on hip mobility and stability at the same time using a sliding disc.

Hip adductor strains are a common problem for some athletes. This exercise offers a mobility option that can be done using a sliding disc to increase elasticity and warm the hip prior to more intense activity.

This exercise can serve as a corrective exercise or warm-up prior to initiating heavier training with multi-joint lifts, jumping or cutting activity.

This is an advanced exercise that should be reserved for clientele who have sufficient upper body strength and shoulder/core stability to perform it.

This exercise will target the rotator cuff, scapular stabilizers and the entire pillar as the body moves in a lateral fashion against upper body resistance.
