Thanks for helping us spread the word 🙏 Take a pic/video of you doing today’s Movement Vault routine and tag us @movementvault. Equipment needed: 1. Padded mat. Today is a 90/90 focused flow day! We are working on just about every area of your body today. We have two flow days per week as part of the Movement Vault program. Get it guys!
Equipment needed: 1. Foam Roller. Today is all about the muscles that are located on the side of your upper body! This is also a great low back and upper body routine. We are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of your lateral body.
We are staring off with a muscle/fascia release for the muscles located on the side of your upper body. These muscles include your obliques, quadratus lumborum, lats, and posterior rotator cuff muscles. Next we are working on side bend stretch holds. These aren’t your grandma’s side bend holds. Focus on squeezing the muscles on one side of your body as you stretch out the muscles on the other side of your body. Keep your arm punching up and over. We are then working on one of the best shoulder range-of-motion and activation movements you can do. Focus on slow and controlled movement. You want to keep your shoulder blades aka scapulae engaged the entire time and move through your absolute full range of motion. We are finishing up with a great activation and stretch for all of the muscles around your low back. Focus on activating all of your core muscles as you move through your full range of motion.
The biggest hurdle to success is consistency. Stay consistent and your body will thank you for it!

Equipment needed: 1. PVC pipe, broom stick, or Foam Roller. 2. Padded Mat. Today is a hamstring focused routine! We are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of your hips and ankles.
We are starting off with a muscle/fascia release for your hamstrings. If you have a PVC pipe or broom stick, try using this first. If not, you can substitute a foam roller. Next we are working on hamstring/ hip flexion end-range stretch isometrics. The keys are to keep your back flat and neutral, and then push your hips back until you maximally stretch out your hamstring. You will then contract your hamstring by driving your heal into the ground followed by a lift and hold. We are finishing up with an end-range stretch isometric technique for your ankles, specifically ankle dorsiflexion, which is the movement needed for walking, running, squatting, snatching, and a lot of other movements we perform in life and in the gym.

Equipment needed: 1. Mobility ball or lacrosse ball. 2. Padded Mat (optional). Today is all about your rotator cuff muscles of your shoulders! We are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of your shoulders and t-spine aka your upper back.
We are starting off with a muscle/fascia release for your rotator cuff muscles, specifically your teres minor and infraspinatus muscles. Next we are performing an end-range stretch isometric technique for these same muscles. Your goal is to stretch these muscles out as far possible and then contract the muscles that are being stretched out. This one can feel a little uncomfortable as we are also stretching out your posterior shoulder capsule. This is normal. If you do feel a sharp pain, don’t go as deep into the stretch. We are finishing up with spine circles, which is a great movement to stretch and activate all of your muscles located around your “core” or midsection that protect and move your low back. Focus on continuing to contract one band of muscle as you move through your spine circle.

Equipment needed: 1. Mobility ball or lacrosse ball. 2. Padded Mat (optional). Today is all about the glutes 🍑! We are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of hips and shoulders.
We are starting off with a glute muscle/fascia release technique. Next we are working on end-range stretch isometrics for your glute’s and piriformis muscles. The key is to stretch your glutes out as much as possible and then start to contract them. We are finishing up with a hip, core, and shoulder movement. This can be challenging with a straight leg, so if you are struggling, try keeping your knee bent. Your goal is to lift your leg and arm as high as you can.
Keep up the good work! You are getting that much better everyday with every routine. Take some time out today to be conscious of how better you are moving throughout your day and/or in the gym.

Equipment needed: 1. Foam Roller. 2. Padded Mat (optional). We’ve got a great upper body focused day today! We are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of your t-spine aka your upper back and shoulders.
We are starting off with a joint mobilization and activation technique for your upper back. This is a great movement for all of you that sit at desks and tend to have a rounded upper back posture. First key is to keep your abs engaged. Next, focus on activating and contracting the muscles that are in contact with the foam roller. The second movement for today is called scap taps. Your goal is to engage and activate all of your muscles around your scapula aka shoulder blade and shoulder. Fight to touch your opposite shoulder blade as far as you can. We are finishing up with a great shoulder range of motion and activation movement. Focus on keeping your arms as high as possible in each position.
Consistency is key! It only takes 15 minutes per day. You are doing awesome and your body loves you for it. Keep it up!

F-L-O-W day 🏄♀️Equipment needed: 1. Padded mat. Today is a flow day! We are working on just about area of your body today We have two flow days per week as part of the Movement Vault program.

Equipment needed: 1. Mobility ball or lacrosse ball. 2. Padded Mat (optional). It’s time to work on those tight, rounded shoulders! Today we are working on the flexibility, mobility, and stability of your shoulders and wrists.
We are starting off with a muscle/fascia release for the front of your shoulders, specifically your pec muscles. These muscles contribute to pulling your shoulders forward and can get tight in part from all of the sitting and slumped over posture most of us have. Next we are working on an end-range stretch eccentric technique to activate and stretch out these same muscles. The key is to maintain your contraction and keep tension in your pec muscles as you slowly stretch them out. Go as deep as you can without pain. We are finishing up with a stretch and activation movement for the back of your wrists aka your wrist extensors. The same principle applies here. Maintain your activation while you slowly stretch your wrists out.
Your shoulders are now ready to carry the world, or a barbell, or your kid, or _______________. Thanks for hanging with us. Have an amazing rest of your day!
