I am 6 weeks in to a 90 day bodyweight program to get my strength and mobility back. I was suffering from major adrenal fatigue 4 months ago and although I’m generally feeling much better, I’m not recovering easily from any type of physical stress on my body. So I am back to the basics.
I love the basics, I just don’t always remember how important is it to return to them. It’s where skill mastery shows up. It’s being able to do the simple things well that makes all of the difference.
I sit behind a desk most days and my body was starting to seize up. My hip flexors have been extremely tight for years and my adductor muscles have been causing me all sorts of grief.
These simple body weight exercises have me moving in all sorts of directions I haven’t moved in years and the aches, pains and stiffness have subsided in big ways.
Basics in anything is where we always need to start.
