Morning Mobility Reset Flow
A 12-minute bodyweight flow that eases hip, shoulder, and core tension so you can move better in the morning, after travel, or before a longer training day.

Overview
This flow is for mornings when your body feels stiff and your brain wants a clearer start.
You will move from breath-led resets into controlled mobility so you finish taller, looser, and more awake rather than fatigued.
How To Use This Flow
Move slowly enough to notice where you are holding tension instead of rushing to finish the sequence.
Use this as a stand-alone reset, a warm-up before strength work, or a recovery-day session when you still want purposeful movement.
Reset Sequence
Half-Kneeling Hip Flexor Reach
6 reps each side
Tuck the pelvis slightly before you reach overhead.
Down Dog To Plank Wave
6 reps
Roll forward one vertebra at a time and press the floor away.
Split-Stance Rotation Reach
5 reps each side
Keep the front knee soft and rotate from the ribcage, not the low back.
Dead Bug Reach
6 reps each side
Exhale fully before each leg lowers.
Coach's tip
Coach's Tip
Pause for one full breath at the tightest position instead of bouncing through it.
Common Questions
Can I do this before a harder workout?
Yes. Keep the pace crisp and stop after one round so you feel primed rather than stretched out.
Is this enough for a recovery day?
It is if your goal is to feel better, restore movement quality, and keep the habit alive without fatigue.
