Thoracic Extension Over A Foam Roller – this exercise is great for opening up a stiff mid back.
2 sets of 5 repetitions
The Prone Scorpion movement is a valuable one that is a staple in my mobility and warm up routine.
It addresses some important areas of the body that can frequently get stiff and tight.
With rounded posture from sitting and/or Jiu-Jitsu, we develop some common problem areas that come up which include the pec muscles, the back, and also the hips.
The important cue in this video to activate the outer hip is beneficial in helping muscle activation for an even more effective movement.
Perform 5 reps for 5 seconds.
