Mobility Monday - Squat Prep

Lifters, this one’s for you. 🏋️

Whether you’re working on squat depth, feeling restricted through your hips, or just want to move better before leg day, this is one of my favorite flows to prep for squats.

We’re working on spinal mobility, hip rotation, hamstring flexibility, and movement control to help you get more out of your warm-up.

You don’t need to be the most flexible person in the gym. You need mobility you can actually control and use.

Take your time, breathe, and move with intention. Your warm-up should prepare you for the work ahead not just check a box.

The vibration plate has been getting a lot of attention lately, both good and bad!

It’s absolutely not going to help you lose weight! 😂

It may help temporarily increase circulation and blood flow, but it’s not some magic weight loss cure all tool. It’s a tool in your toolbox, not a replacement for movement, strength training, or recovery basics.

I personally use it before I work out. I’m up at 4:30 AM, right after rolling out of bed, so it’s a way to get moving, wake up my body, and focus on engaging my core, legs, calves, and glutes.

I’m also challenging myself to work up to a 60-second single-leg balance. Once I achieve that, my goal is to start doing it with my eyes closed.

If you’ve never tried balancing on one leg with your eyes closed, it’s INCREDIBLY hard. So might as well turn up the challenge a notch with some vibration! 😂

The takeaway? Stop looking for one tool to fix everything. Understand what it can and can’t do, use it with intention, and remember that the basics will always matter most.

When clients come in with knee pain- we like to work upstream and downstream. It could be because your hips are tight from sitting or your ankles and calves have restrictions. It’s not always an issue with the area where you’re feeling it.

Knee pain? Look at the hips.
Shoulder pain? Look at the neck and upper back.
Back pain? Look at the bigger movement pattern.

Your body is connected. How one area moves, functions, or compensates can influence another.

We don’t just chase the pain. We look at the bigger picture.

We assess. Help you understand. So you can move with intention.

Pain can have multiple causes, so these are areas worth exploring and not necessarily the root cause.

Love a good flow that blends movements together for a warm-up.

You’re working multiple muscles at once, building that mind-muscle connection, and getting your brain engaged before you even start your workout.

8–10 reps of each move, run through it twice, and you’re ready to rock! 🤘🏼

And when you’re ready to roll, you know who to call 😉

Honestly, sitting all day is one of the worst things you can do to your body. Your body adapts to that position- shoulders hunch, hips are tight because they’re flexed all day and your low back is achy.

Yes seeing a chiropractor, getting a massage, or tempered will help and provide relief but the easiest and cheapest route to go is to just move! Do some mobility moves that counteract the flexed position you’ve been sitting in and open up your chest, bend your spine the opposite way for a little bit, and take a few deep breaths.

Give yourself a little “movement snack” every 60-90 minutes and you might notice your posture start to perk up again!
