Building Strength, Conditioning, & Mobility Training At Once!

When people ask if “this or that” exercise is good the first things I want to know are….

1. What is your goal and training background?
2. Is this the MOST efficient way to accomplish that goal?

With SO many exercises that float around the internet it could be VERY difficult to answer these two relatively simple questions. I don’t discourage people from trying things either, but I like to spend time explaining why what we show in our various functional fitness systems like DVRT, LIFT, & MIM are so good at answering a resounding YES to these questions. I wanted to do so in highlighting what we do in our Myofascial Integrated Movement (MIM) system to progress to building strength, conditioning, and mobility training at the same time. Especially when we build to more dynamic exercises that raise the bar on all these qualities along with balance and stability as well. People may have first seen our MIM exercises and assumed there wasn’t going to be much of strength and conditioning and the focus on JUST on mobility training. Nothing could be further from the truth, but we had to build some of those foundations and now we can start exploring both more problem solving as well as progressions that will accelerate the results we see from MIM. In the end, when you start incorporating such exercises into your training you will see how your strength, conditioning, and mobility training all increase. There are some keys though that you always want to adhere to…

1. Try to relax the body as much as body being aware where you are holding excessive tension and using only the amount of effort absolutely necessary to accomplish the exercise.
2. Practice the movement first, get really comfortable and become aware of all the details THEN we can add in breath work into our training.
3. Move slowly! Many people will try to speed up when the feel uncomfortable and this lowers our ability to actually build strength, conditioning, and mobility training. In a world where everyone is use to moving fast in their exercises many will find slowing down VERY difficult.
4. Realize these are advancements of MIM movements so there is ALWAYS a way to take these movements back as many steps as possible to meet the needs of the individual. That is why many of these drills are based upon ancient movement systems, we have combined them with modern coaching to meet people where they are at and to match their needs.

These examples show how we can build strength, conditioning, stability, balance, and mobility training all at once!
