Whatever the official name of this challenge is, it is equal parts both fun & frustrating‼️❤️‍🔥

I challenge you and a partner to accept this task and video it. We recommend adding in some core warmup such as weighted crunches to prep

Channing and I hope to accomplish this feat in the near future when the planets, and our body proportions, are both in perfect alignment. 🙏🏻💫

FOR TODAYS exercise
I’ll be incorporating one of my favorite childhood movies with one of my least favorite EL DOAs - T6/T7

I can barely do this one because of stiffness in my shoulders lats and ribs. so stiff. But I’ll adapt.

For a spine that feels like it’s 17 again ..

Do EL DOA Daily

This one here opens up L2/L3 of the lumbar vertebrae. 60 second hold. Not easy, but it works.

Great visiting Kaden King and his team for new socks and shoes today. Just went in on a whim. Blown away by the process.
Beautiful store, excellent customer service, and crazy vehicles. Feet feel like they can fly in these new Altra Escalantes.

“Operation Build a Better Booty” involves strengthening our backside without wrecking our spine and joints. Aka we don’t need to hip thrust or squat 315 just for ego sake.
These moves are fun and challenging way to target your glutes, hamstrings and spinal muscles.

Most guys get stiffer over time - lower back hips and hamstrings get tighter than guitar strings.
Why?
Gravity, sitting, improper training, lack of fluidity, excessive caffeine or alcohol, etc etc etc

For 60+ year old George here…
The remedy shall incorporate a healthy dose of dynamic stretching, proper core training, lots of walking, EL DOA and time chasing around dogs. He’s already considerably less stiff in just a few months with me, can touch his toes, and can sleep on his right side pain free for the first time in decades.

I beat myself up quite handily throughout the years - sports, weightlifting, poor postural habits yada yada yada

And so now 13,000 days into existence I am embarking on a more restorative journey by using and various and routines to restore my range of motion, decompress my spine, activate my dormant diaphragm, and overall balance and align the body in a more natural holistic way.

The journey is tedious and sometimes enjoyable but I try to disengage from any feelings or overly focus on results. Daily inputs are the prime objective. The only goal is increased quality of movement and restoring the optimal programming.

By doing this, I will be healthier and more vibrant for years to come and be able to help and serve those I work with at a high level.

Encouraged and assisted by and
