Some people struggle to perform the copenhagen bridge due to the long lever challenge or even feel actual muscle strain during the exercise.

This exercise will focus on serratus anterior activation using a foam roller and resistance band.

The ability to move efficiently in triple flexion and control the body as it moves to the side is important for injury prevention and performance.

This exercise is intended to improve upper body strength, scapular stability and shoulder health.

Training the body with asymmetrical loading will help reduce injury and improve performance.

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.
