Stop the micro bend LIVE LESSON

STRENGTH BUILDING – Length 20:00 – Items needed:

• Foam roller
• Resistance band These suggested bands come with an anchor
• A low anchor for the resistance band (a pole, a metal bar, a closed heavy door)
• Socks or ballet slippers

If you struggle with bent knees during inverts and straddle poses, this routine can make a huge difference. However, this isn't magic—you can't do this once and have great lines from now on. I recommend using this routine 3 times a week for 8 weeks for the best results.

Tips to help you get the most out of this workout:

• Always watch the related videos listed before doing any workouts or routines. This will ensure you're familiar with each of the exercises used in the routine and allow you to choose any modifications.
• Track your sets and reps. Don't worry if you can't do all of the reps I suggest. Instead, make sure to write down how many you did do so you can try to do one or two more next time.
• Suitable for beginners.
• May also be used as a warm up.
• Make sure you've been cleared by your health professional before starting any exercise programs.
• Always leave a day of rest between workouts when you're starting or just getting back into exercise.
• To build strength, use this routine 2-3 times a week for 4-8 weeks.
