Welcome to this eight-week video series brought to you exclusively by Whole Life Challenge in partnership with Tune Up Fitness. Each week, coach Jill Miller will teach you new movements (and a few things about your anatomy) so you can increase your mobility (and your connection to your own body). These practices are optional and are simply one of the many ways you can accomplish your ten daily minutes of mobility.
Jill Miller Follow Along Mobility Practice: Week 6
This week’s lesson is called “Hip Help.” Our hips are a major component of our body and, therefore, it’s good for us to put some time into making sure they are working properly. Increasing our range of motion and mobility in our hips can bring better movement and ease of movement to many other parts of our body. So, let’s give those hips a little help.
Hit play to follow along with the video, but first take a moment to remember our mindset:
- I’m a student of my body
- I’m a student of my breath
- I embody my body
Recommended Equipment and Substitutions:
- Yoga Tune Up balls or tennis balls
- Therapy Ball Plus, or tennis balls
