Watching high-level mobility can feel like looking at a different species. But usually, that “stuck” feeling isn’t a lack of effort it’s a lack of joint capacity. When you try to rotate your upper back and hit a wall, your nervous system is often hitting the emergency brake. If your shoulder cap

Rounded shoulders shift your center of gravity forward, and your head often follows to keep your eyes level. This posture can change how your rib cage moves and how your diaphragm functions. When the ribs stay lifted or flared, breathing becomes more shallow and relies more on the neck and chest

It’s never this or that it’s this AND that If you’re like me and just LOVE and fan girl over all these incredible women but constantly feeling stuck or like certain movements are out of reach well then I hope you find my videos helpful because you CAN be just like them we just have to be a litt

Most people think rib flare is just an ab issue, but it’s usually a sign that your spine is a bit stuck. Specifically, if you can’t rotate well, your ribs will flare out just to help you find some “fake” movement. This isn’t a one-time fix (those don’t really exist), but it’s a huge step in the

Ladies in Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Hemet, Menifee + surrounding areas 👀 Mobility is not instead of lifting, running, pole, or sports… It’s what allows you to do all of them at a higher level. Most people chase flexibility when what they actually need is active control of their ran

Half marathon training is happening and this was perfect! It was the perfect weather mid afternoon, wide trails - this is safer when trying to avoid rattlesnakes - it’s super clean and well maintained! Gonna come back for more with my lifer @Summer B 💋 . . . . . . . #longrun #runwithm

Your rib flare might actually be coming from your double chin. And yes, fat can contribute to its appearance, but that is not always the cause. When your head shifts forward, your breathing shifts with it. Instead of expanding fully, the body pulls air higher into the chest. The ribs lift to

Rib flare can reflect an imbalance between diaphragm position and abdominal pressure. If exhalation is incomplete the lower ribs remain elevated and the pelvic floor cannot coordinate with the diaphragm. A complete exhale lowers the ribs, decreases intra abdominal pressure, and promotes better core

I don’t even know when I started taking a turn for the better. This video is about a year old. And that’s the thing. Everyone thinks they need some overnight miracle, when in reality it’s just a bunch of small steps over time. Changes that happen slowly and subtly you don’t even notice them until o

Let me just tell you this. You’re doing your best. You’re moving your body. And it is NOT wasted time. You can get results on your own. Every exercise is man made. And honestly, I see experts get hurt just as much as non experts. I’m here to validate your efforts. And I also want to say t

How many times can I say spine in 30 seconds 🙂‍↔️😆 True spinal rotation depends on extension and flexion at individual segments. When the spine moves as one stiff block, rotation gets limited and the ribs flare to compensate. This drill uses a med ball to *help* restore segmental extension, g

Every rib attaches to the thoracic vertebrae, so when the mid-back can’t rotate, the ribs can’t expand or move well either. A stiff thoracic spine changes breathing mechanics, limits chest expansion, and forces compensation into the shoulders, neck, and low back. Restore thoracic rotation, rest

Something I learned in my own training: If the lower body isn’t connected to the brain, breathwork and core drills won’t organize your torso (your cylinder). You have to restore the foundation along with it. This drill may help do that when paired with: daily knee, ankle, and hip CARs, and jus

If you struggle with rib flare, improving lumbar rotation is one piece of the puzzle. This exercise helps your spine actually rotate so your ribs don’t have to compensate for stability they’re missing elsewhere. As always it’s NOT a fix-it-all. But it is one more step toward addressing the ent

A lot of people are living in an extended spine but that extension is uneven. A few segments (usually the low back) end up doing all the work while other parts stay flat and locked. So instead of fighting that shape and tensing harder, we intentionally place you into controlled extension and use th
