Hovers

Hovers are an end-range training tool we use to dynamically load tissue after it has been stretched. For instance, we could use hip flexion hovers (what Cheryl is doing) after stretching out the hip adductors, groin, or hamstrings.

Hovers are slightly more challenging than lift offs because we’re bringing a joint through a greater range of motion, so they require more control and effort.

Just like lift offs, we can throw short-position training in at practically any time (e.g., warm-ups, KINSTRETCH, cool-downs, etc.)

Lift Offs

We typically use lift offs for two reasons:

1) It trains a specific tissue to shorten to its fullest potential.
2) Consequently, it forces the opposite side of the joint to lengthen to its full potential.

In this video, we are focused on training the hip abductors (the outisde of the hip) to shorten. To accomplish that (on some level) means the hip adductors (the inner thigh) *need* to lengthen.

Lift offs are a powerful training tool once you’ve actively stretched and opened up a specific joint. For instance, these lift offs would be beneficial to do once we sustained an active lengthened position stretch of the inner thigh.

However, you can throw short-position training in practically any time, which is why you see us doing it more often in big KINSTRETCH classes.

Spine training isn’t always about creating stiff

Spine training isn’t always about creating stiffness. In fact, most of the time, we’re trying to get people to MOVE their spine.

Here’s Dan running through banded lumbar cat-cows and standing spine CARs with Brent. The focus is on controlled, segmented movement.

Brent has had lower back pain on and off for years, but it’s improved drastically from intentional and thoughtful spine training. 💪🏻

How’s YOUR lower back feeling? 🤔

Joint rotation is your number-one priority for a healthy body (excluding the spine). That’s why 90% of our training revolves around making your joints rotate better.

There is a time and place for squats and pressing, but not until you’ve got rotational, healthy joints. 💪🏻
