Welcome to this six-week 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 body). These practices are optional and are simply one of the many ways you can accomplish your ten daily minutes of mobility.
Jill Miller Mobility Follow Along: Week 3
It’s time to talk to your tootsies! Our feet work for us all day, but we often don’t show them much love in return. This week’s lesson is called “TOEtally Awesome Feet” and we’re going to get your whole body feeling and moving better by starting from the ground.
As always, we’ll begin with a check-in, do some work with our body, and then finish with a recheck so we can see the difference we made. Just hit play on the video above and I’ll guide you through it all.
Recommended Equipment and Substitutions:
- Yoga Tune Up Balls (or tennis balls)
- A high stool
- Exercise or yoga mat
You can purchase Tune Up Fitness equipment at our online store.
