Hey all! I put together this step by step guide for a stand up mobility flow so you can practice the pivotal life skill of getting up from the ground and back down to the ground.
This flow is pretty smoov once you get it down and is great for lower body mobility in the hips, knees, ankles and feet. Challenge your mobility, coordination and rhythm in this fun movement sequence that will leave you feeling more confident in your abilities.
This set of skills is key for longevity, physical freedom and quality of life. This has been popularized by the stand up test, which correlates a particular no hand get up with living longer. My view...practice a bunch of different get ups so you develop the dynamic skill of changing levels instead of focusing on one task in a test.
Long story short, practice this and practice often. Your current and future self will thank you!
