Sidelying Thoracic Rotation

The sidelying thoracic rotation is a foam roller mobility exercise that targets restricted upper back rotation and improves thoracic spine mobility through a self-correcting setup. This drill works perfectly as a warm-up before pressing movements, as active recovery between sets, or as a standalone mobility exercise for desk workers and athletes dealing with upper back stiffness. Learn proper technique, breathing cues, and programming strategies to unlock better shoulder health and rotational mobility.

Reverse Crunch With Adductor Feedback

The reverse crunch with adductor feedback combines targeted abdominal strengthening with hip mobility enhancement, making it an ideal bodyweight exercise for individuals struggling with lower back stiffness and poor core stability. This innovative movement pattern uses minimal equipment—just a stable anchor point and small object between the thighs—to simultaneously engage the adductors, strengthen the anterior chain, and improve spinal flexion mobility through controlled rolling mechanics. Perfect for home workouts or gym sessions, this functional fitness exercise addresses common movement dysfunctions while preparing the body for more complex movements like squats and deadlifts.
