PART 3

BUILD YOUR TRAINING

Now that we have built the foundation, we will craft your very own MOBILITY Training Plan.

Below you will find general rules for your practice schedule.

TIME

For each mobility session, take around 15-60 minutes

TIMING

You can train mobility all year long, every day of the year. One training session equals one mobility session. The more, the better.

CONSISTENCY

Consistency over quantity: Long term effects develop over time. Try to find a routine you can stick to & that fits well into your life.

WARM-UP

Mobility training comes right after your warm up in any practise session. The best way to warm up is to start with joint rotations, dynamic stretches and some cardio-vascular exercises like rope skipping of jumping jacks.

TYPES of MOBILITY TRAINING

Select one training type to learn why, when and how to use it.

WHY?

to increase your range of motion

WHEN?

on days you don’t train or 4-6h before/after your training

HOW?

mixed methods concept – all mobility exercises!

WHY?

to warm-up and unlock your full range of motion for the upcoming training

WHEN?

after your general warm-up

HOW?

No passive stretching for more than 15 sec, better do dynamic stretches for 15 reps

  • essential in dance styles that require maximum mobility
  • Don‘t get cold!

WHY?

for final relaxation and immediate start of regeneration

WHEN?

after your general cool-down

never after exhausting endurance exercises or in a state of muscular fatigue

HOW?

Intermittent stretching for a short time (up to 5 sec // pause of 10-30 sec)

no static stretching after a high-impact load

BUILD YOUR SCHEDULE

YOUR WEEK

Identify your fixed dates during the week: When do you practice? When are you doing other sports? When do you work? Ask yourself: How much time do you want to invest in your mobility? Try to schedule at least 1 mobility session per physical training, but if you can do more: DO MORE!

PRIORIZE

PRIO 1: exercises for your biggest mobility limitations (the “cases”)

PRIO 2: exercises for your lighter mobility limitations

PRIO 3: all other exercises

PLAN

On page 2 of your BODY-CHECK template, you find boxes for each mobility slot during your week. Start writing the exercises for your prio 1-mobility limitations (the ``CASES``) in each availabe slot.

COMPLEMENT

Identify your ``long`` mobility slots (>20 mins). Continue to fill your weekly mobility time with, 1) exercises where your limitations were not as strong (prio 2) and then 2) all other exercises to maintain your status-quo (prio 3).

ADJUST

Carry out your plan for 1 week. You will notice where your training will take longer/shorter. Adjust the # of exercises accordingly.

After 4 weeks, take the tests from PART 1 again. Adjust your weekly schedule accordingly & shift your focus on the keypoints that need attention.

PART 4

PROGRESS & RE-TEST

After 4 weeks of CONSTANT work, you should observe a noticable difference. Return to PART 1 and test yourself again.

You can test yourself every week for motivation to keep going. Don't trust your subjective feeling - record yourself & notice definite results.

DON'T STOP working!

Short-term mobility pauses lead to a rapid decrease in mobility!

It takes 6-8 weeks to reach optimal mobility again after a training pause.
