Monday Workout: Do You

When we have a body part that is not cooperating the way we’d like it to, we want to give it the right amount of movement in the right sort of way to encourage it.  There are certainly times when the right answer is to hold something still (this is why, for example, casts were invented), but a lot of the time, a gentle amount of motion is a good idea.  If, say, knees are feeling uncomfortable, we can bend more at the hips in the clean and press and limit the knee movement and we can make the squat in the squat raise small.  If, on the other hand, shoulders are grumpy, the overhead motions in the various exercises can be less overhead and more lateral.  In other words, modify as needed!  Three rounds.
