Mobility WOD

I've been neglecting the blog for a little bit in the chaos of life, but expect more frequent updates, even if they're just little ones like this.

Today you're going to check out Mobility WOD (workout of the day):
http://www.mobilitywod.com/

Mobility WOD is operated by Kelley Starrett, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and all around hyper-qualified individual when it comes to performance and getting you to move properly (like a supple leopard).

The WODs aren't always especially fun, and sometimes they are downright uncomfortable, but it's a small price to pay to be able to move properly and efficiently. Tightness and movement limitations result in faulty movement patterns and injury over time. Tightness in the lower body, for example, often manifests itself through pain in the ankles, knees, hip, or spine and that stress can wear down the joints and generally make your day-to-day life less than ideal. Mobility work is just as important as any other aspect of training, often even more so. If you can't move properly, you can't train properly, and if you can't train properly, what the heck are you doing?

These aren't the kinds of mobility drills you'd see at a Kelowna Kettlebell class, but they're incredibly effective and you'll feel much better after doing them. Scroll down to the bottom of his site, jump all the way back to the beginning of the WODs and get crackin' today.

I've been delving into the Paleo diet lately and there will be some posts on my experiences to come in the next while.
