Day 3 – Movement Complexity

  • Intro
  • Prepare
  • Practice
  • Pressurize
  • Ponder

Welcome to Day 3!

In your final day today, you’ll continue to explore the concept of awareness by seeing how quietly you can perform certain movements. You’ll find that forcing yourself to do this will further improve the quality of your movements and also show you where you might need a little more work in your strength, flexibility, and control.

  • SMTK - Day 3 Kneeling Lunge
  • SMTK - Day 2 Kneel to Prone Extension


 

Here’s what we’ll focus on for today’s warm-up:

  • Kneeling Lunge–30 seconds on each leg
  • Back Flexion/Extension–1 minute
  • SMTK -  Day 3 Jump Block
  • SMTK - Day 3 Bridge Block


 

For the practice portion of today’s session, we’ll focus on two blocks of movement:

  • Jump Block–Choose either the Basic Jump or the Tuck Jump, depending on your current level.
  • Bridge Block–Choose either the Shoulder Bridge or the Full Bridge, depending on your current level.

For each block, do 3 sets of 30 seconds, with 30 seconds of rest between sets.

Try out the first progression, and if you feel comfortable and controlled with that progression, then work on the next level. Just focus on doing one perfect rep. Then another. And another. After a few rounds of that, see what happens if you speed the movement up a bit by playing with different tempos.

  • SMTK - Day 3 Pressurize Example
  • SMTK - Day 3 Kneeling Lunge
  • SMTK - Lounge Chair Stretch


 

For today’s pressurize portion, we’ll go through the following circuit:

  • Tuck Jump
  • Bridge
  • Banzai Frogger
  • Bear Twist

Do 5 rounds of the circuit, spending 30 seconds on each exercise. Try not to rest between rounds.

After you complete 5 rounds, go through the following stretches:

  • Kneeling Lunge–30 seconds each side
  • Lounge Chair–1 minute


 

Our most successful clients find that they get better results by actually writing down a few notes after each section. We suggest taking 2-3 minutes to write down your thoughts on this session. Here are a couple of points to reflect upon:

  • Was this style and philosophy of training different from what you’ve done in the past? How did it feel?
  • What was most challenging for you? What did you like the most?
  • Did you discover anything new about yourself in the past few days of training?
