The goal of this series is to help coaches at the high school level and beyond expand their coaching “toolbox” with practical movements, drills, and exercises, that are not just for show, but can positively impact a coaching program.
Each week I will post an exercise along with a how to get australia whatsapp number video demonstration as well as a brief description.
Enjoy this week's exercise!
Brettzel
Introduction: The Brettzel is a great “bang for your buck” exercise that also has a great deal of versatility. By creating separation at the hips, the Bretzel addresses many muscle groups and joints all in one, from the thoracic spine to the muscles responsible for Hip Flexion and Extension. It can often be difficult for athletes to buy into mobility and stretching, but the inherent difficulty for many just to get into the Brettzel stretch makes it a more compelling challenge for the athlete than the typical mobility exercise or stretch.
Objective: The objective of Brettzel is to promote mobility of the upper and lower extremities by dissociating many joints simultaneously.
