The Locomotion Collection
Gain access to over 40 locomotion video tutorials, plus ideas for warm ups and workouts using the movements learned. If you typically avoid stretching or doing the accessory work you know you SHOULD be doing, you're going to have some fun with this. Locomotion can become the best accessory program you didn't know you needed!
You are encouraged to stretch out your wrists prior to doing locomotion work.
Play with these movements in whatever capacity makes sense for you. For example:
Option #1 - Practice: Pick 1-2 movements, put on a clock for 5-10 minutes, and just explore those two movements working on refining them as you go.
Option #2 - Push: In you're looking for a full training session, you may consider doing an "EMOM" where you do 60s of work, switching movements each minute. In this case, you may consider choosing 3-4 locomotion variations and completing a full 60s before switching to the next. Consider 3-5 rounds.
Additional examples are provided within the video content.

Transition Examples
As you begin exploring locomotion in a more "free flow" fashion, it can be helpful knowing how to transition smoothly from one movement into another. Part of this is exploring on your own and getting creative with what works and feels good for you.
But regardless, here are a few examples of wha...
