Some great Mobility drills in the video below to help you open up your thoracic spine, rack position, ankles and calves. Each person in the gym has an area of their body that they know needs to be mobilized. For Allen, he knows his ankles are super inflexible. Ron’s shoulders are always tight. I typically feel some pinching in the front of my hip as I approach a deep squat. So, my warm up always includes rolling around on a lacrosse ball attacking my hip capsule, quad stretching and hip openers. It doesn’t get my heart rate up or my central nervous system ready to lift tons of weight, but it is essential to helping create efficient movement patters for me. YOU need to know that there is something you could be working on. In order to enact change, you must be persistent working on that area. If you need help, always ask. Here is a great video from Mobility WOD showing how one lifter spends 15 minutes every time she lifts working on 4 major mobility drills. Notice how quickly she can effect change.

Is bacon ok to eat on the nutrition challenge? My family is plannin a bacon heavy thanksgiving, which is fairly paleo friendly other than the sheer volume of bacon involved…
I want to say +1 to this comment, just because you’re apparently talking about massive volumes of bacon… Sounds like an epic Thanksgiving!

Kristen, the challenge is over before thanksgiving. I think it ends this coming Tuesday so you should be able to eat your bacon. 🙂
