Front Splits Class Day 1
Mantra – I am safe
Today’s tips: The RAMP method is a fun acronym for my four favorite methods of flexibility training. There are others methods but I’ve seen much success in with these and it’s what you’ll be using in class. Let’s briefly look at each style of stretch again.
- Resistance – Resisting against something while stretching, this could be another part of your body, a strap or resistance band, a wall or the floor.
- Active – Actively holding your body weight or contracting a muscle group or opposing muscle the correlates to the muscle being stretched.
- Movement – Slowly and rhythmically moving into and out of a stretch. My flowmotion videos are a good example of this.
- Passive stretching – Relaxing into a stretch without moving.
It can be easy to confuse Active and Resistance stretches so it might help to think of Active as squeezing or lifting up and Resistance as pushing into or down and away from something.
Items you’ll need for class:
- Resistance bands with ankle cuff
- Massage ball peanut or tennis ball
- Foam roller
- Plyo Box or firm place to lay on so your legs can hang off
- Yoga blocks 2 (optional)
- Yoga strap (optional)
