Warmup Upper Body @fit.for.hiking.lifestyle Enduro Add-ons Hiking Series

Описание: 🛑 Always listen to your body and modify or stop any pose that causes discomfort or pain.

Read below in preparation for the exercises included in this training session.

Cat–Cow See-Saw
How:
From hands and knees, inhale and arch your spine (cow), exhale and round (cat). Add a gentle forward and back shift like a see-saw.
Why:
Wakes up the spine, ribs, and breath. Helps hikers stay tall under pack load and reduces low-back stiffness before climbing or descending.

World’s Greatest Stretch
Switch sides
How:
Step one foot forward into a deep lunge. Opposite elbow drops toward the inside of the front foot, then rotate chest open toward the lead knee.
Why:
Opens hips, ankles, thoracic spine, and calves all at once, exactly what tight hikers need before long strides and uphill work.

Walking Downdog
How:
From Downdog, bend one knee while pressing the opposite heel down. Heel raise alternating feet.
Why:
Mobilizes calves, Achilles, hamstrings, and feet, key for preventing ankle issues and easing into climbs and descents.

Tabletop Side Stretch
Switch sides
How:
From hands and knees, reach one arm up and over, stretching through the side body. Keep hips stacked.
Why:
Opens lats, obliques, and shoulders, important for posture, trekking pole use, and pack carrying.

Child’s Pose Alternating Thread the Needle
How:
From Child’s Pose, slide one arm under the chest and gently rotate. Alternate sides slowly.
Why:
Restores rotation in the upper back and shoulders, releases neck tension, and calms the nervous system before effort.
