Cathe, Jai, and Kristin in a scorpion pose in the new Functional Mobility Fusion workout

[forum_admin]

Pictured here are Cathe, Jai, and Kristin in a scorpion pose in the new Functional Mobility Fusion workout.

This exercise activates the lower portion of the spine and hips, while also providing a great shoulder stretch. Mobility is the key to our quality of life. No matter our age, we need to be able to carry our groceries, climb stairs, sit, stand, walk, and enjoy daily activities.

As we age our mobility is reduced and if ignored can result in a loss of independence. Fortunately, our muscles and our brains respond amazingly well to strength and mobility training, and doing so can reverse some of the decline we may be facing.

Starting this type of training early, before we start to experience any decline is extra beneficial in keeping us charged and ready for what life brings.

Yay! Scorpion is my least favorite insect but my most favorite mobility exercise!

Looks uncomfortable, almost painful - however my personal experience is it gets easier every time I do it & feels good!

I have never attempted this, I am afraid I would have to move in at my chiropractor’s
office! I am afraid my hips couldn’t handle that!

Even though I have tight, arthritic hips, it doesn't bother them ... it's more my shoulder - however it helps them to loosen up & increase my range of motion with the rotator cuff injury.

Ok, so I tried it, I can get in that position, very slowly….. I agree, I felt more tightness
in my shoulders.

This looks like it may be the full expression of the pose. I bet Cathe slowly guides us into it encouraging us to stop where appropriate for our individual body.

I seem to remember this pose from another Cathe mobility or yoga practice but I can’t for the life of me remember which one so I could be making it up. I’ll post if I remember for sure.

You're not mistaken - it's included in Perfect30 & STS2.0 's mobility workouts.

Scorpion is my absolute favorite. I wouldn't mind a workout which was just a 30 minute scorpion hold! Each side.

I feel it in my thoracic spine, which is my problem area.

Yep, that’s where I grabbed it this morning to practice, in the STS 2 mobility workout.

That’s what I was thinking too, Lannette.
