This stuff is just fantastic Ido. I can't say I have done much with it, other then be inspired and wanting to get into the movement thing more!

BTW: I notice you have things like 'Wrist Routine' but no links. Was this something covered in one of your earlier blogs?

Ido Portal said...

Etnie,
Yes, the wrist routine is posted here:

6 workouts in and I am feeling more connected and fluid! I look forward to training each day:)

Sweet, I will get on this one tomorrow! I think I need to run to the store and get several different bands for the Scapula Mobilization work! This has been working out great. I workout 4 days a week (do the shoulder ROM stuff everyday!) and if there is not a new workout I make my own based of what you have all ready posted. =)

Ido said...

Laney!
I am so glad to hear that! This is exactly the reason I am posting this material!
Keep it up!

Ricky, good job my friend. Yes, for optimal scapula mobilization you need a couple of different bands. It is cheap and is a great training tool. Buy the damn thing!

RickyVT said...

So my rotations to low bridge are going great for reps . . . high bridge is another matter. I get through about 5 before fatigue gets me and I start having problems rotating properly so I did as many as I could and finished off the set with a 20 second high bridge hold, no matter how many rotations I got through.

Great workout as usual. These workouts combined with my steady state cycle, some ring work and lots of hand balancing really work me hard!

Ido said...

Ricky, keep working that high bridge, it will improve in a short while. Build up the numbers from workout to workout. At least one more rep each time until you reach the designated goal.

RickyVT said...

Thanks Ido,I will definitely get it eventually! =)

Rod said...

Ido, great routine! How often do you recommend do it? Can this precede other fitness work or at least be done the same day? Thanks.

Ido said...

Rod,
as often as your work capacity allows it. 2-6 times a week.
The same answer to your second question. It all depends on your ability to recuperate from effort.

Ash said...

Ido, I heard from a friend (Katheryn Bruni)you were in Toronto. Sorry to have missed out. Are you coming through again anytime soon? Also, heading out to Erwan's LeCorre's MovNat workshop at the end of the month - any thoughts on what he's doing with movement?

Hey Ido, I'm so glad I found ur page! I am so looking forward to try out what u are sharing with us. I want to start a new live, I want to start to move, to live the moment, not training for something in the future, but to feel the moment right now. I try to refer this on my whole live, not to have worries about the future or bad thoughts about the past. Just to live the moment. Thanx Ido!
