The Importance of Position

JT Scott | 12/27/2017 | 4

We heard loud and clear how much y’all enjoyed those box pushes on Tuesday! They’re old favorites of ours, and surprisingly effective cardio for when the days are short and cold.

Today we’ve got a more classic cardio challenge of dubs and KB swings matched up with some heavy front squats. You’ll need to be well braced and able to breathe through the squats; if not, your tank will run dry early.

A workout like this can drive home the importance of being in good positions. Shoulders back and up, elbows rotated around to point at the wall across from you, knees tracking to the toes or outside of them, and active at the bottom of your squat… there’s a lot to think about today in the movements, and a lot of positional patterns we need to unlearn from our daily grind of sitting, typing, texting, and driving.

Fortunately, we’ve got coaches here who are passionate about helping you find ways to get in better positions!
