This is an exercise that is useful, but is commonly done wrong. Get the most out of your banded Monster Walks with this short tutorial.

A few months ago, we released the Low Back Stiffness Routines - Level 1 and Level 2. Here is a new routine to try that focuses on the hips. Our hips need both the range of motion to move properly and the strength to control and stabilize that range. This routine offers both. Great for everyone, but particularly necessary for my skiers, hikers, runners, and mountain bikers who demand a lot from their hips.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Now that you have been doing the Level 1 Routine for a couple weeks, It is time to move on to the Level 2 Routine. This program is rated Level 2 due to a few harder positions (being on hands and knees) and more aggressive core work. Give it a try, if you need to go back to Level 1, do what is best for your body. No equipment is needed for this routine, but a pillow is optional.

This level 1 routine is great to do first thing in the morning or at the end of your day. This routine focuses on mobilizing the hips and spine while introducing some light core work.

Equipment Needed - Tennis Ball (or other similar size ball) and Yoga Strap (or long belt or leash).
