Functionally Fit By Brian Schiff

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.

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.
