Weekly Schedule
Option 1: Full Focus
Perform this full routine 2-3x per week. This session will most likely last an hour or longer so this is a commitment in time and energy. But knocking it all out in one session can free up time to work on strength, endurance or sports in the following days.
Option 2: Chunking
Perform in 2 separate days. On day 1 perform the Pike and Horse Stance protocol. On Day 2 perform the Bridge Protocol. Train each 1-2x per week. This will make for a shorter session with more frequency. This could potentially have positive effects as you’ll be working on mobility more days per week.
Option 3: Minimalist
Choose 1-2 of the categories to work on for the next few weeks to a few months. Example: Train Back Bridge protocol 2x per week for the next 6 weeks. Move to another category when you’re happy with your progress.
