This 1-hour class is suitable for anyone, but if you suffer from EDS, hypermobility, perimenopause, menopause, or have loose, tight, or weak feeling joints, this video could change your life! Use this 2-3 times a week for one month for the best results. Strong hips are important for knee stability, and you'll find this routine will target this quite well.
One last thing: emotions get stuck in our bodies, and movement is the most effective way to release them. So if you're trapped in identifying with whatever "ails" you—for example, if you're going through perimenopause and you base your actions around the fact that you're going through this, you talk about how bad it is with everyone and dwell on it, and emotionally you feel bad, upset, out of control, or frustrated—your symptoms will feel magnified. We don't want that! Instead, release this identity and focus on how strong you are becoming with each workout!
In this class you'll target:
No pole is needed, but you will need a place to anchor a resistance band, and I'll provide a list of equipment below.

This was an amazing workout! Those pigeon hamstring curls are killer. I think i've spent so much time trying to get my leg lines straight that I haven't focused much on hip extension compared to flexion. Going slow feels boring but it's good for my loosey goosy joints... lol
Oh my God, yes, it’s so frustrating to go slow, but I just turned on some fun music and deal with it ? I do my best to remind myself that doing this will let me do anything I want safely. The good news is I don’t have to do it as often anymore. I train my joints about twice a week for sure and I pick specific exercises out of what you see in these videos. I don’t need to do all of them all of the time anymore either ?
That's good to hear! All the strength work for pole can feel overwhelming at times. I already feel stronger after this workout :)
Awesome
