Class 12: Advanced CARs Follow Along Routine
All KINSTRETCH Classes

26m
Here you can follow along and do your advanced CARs routine like a class. This CARs routine will feature different bases than the original one. This routine will also be slightly more advanced.
Equipment Needed: Tennis Balls (optional), Yoga Block, Stability Ball or Resistance Band, Ankle Weight (optional)
Do your CARs with good intent and focus. These movements are slow and controlled, while maintaining tension. Try to express your greatest pain-free ranges of motion. Work those outer ranges, but remain aware of possible compensations. Reminder - never push through any pain. Back out of any range of motion that creates pain, bypassing those areas, and then continuing through the rest of the motion. Work in pain-free ranges only.

I’ve been telling students to do their follow along CARs routine on days they’re not taking classes. If you’re looking to increase your training volume and get even more butter, you can do your CARs routine every single day, even on days you do classes. When doing that I’d recommend doing it as a 2nd session 3-6 hours after taking a class, but you can do it whenever it most appropriate for your schedule.
So a few options on picking between the two CARs routines
-Alternate everyday back and forth between the new and old video. This is my top recommendation.
-Do the new one everyday and come back to the old one in a few weeks or next month
For my students who want even more training volume/butter. On days you don’t do classes, you can do both CARs routines. You can split them up in two sessions at different times, or you can do them back to back as a full 50-60min session. CARs are very hard to overdo as we’re not loading the body, so you can do a lot of CARs and it will actually help with recovery and overall performance

Class 13: Backbends
This class is all about backbends, a movement we all use to achieve a state of grace, elegance and class. Yet what we don’t realize is that controlling our backbends not only means owning your range and being strong in it, but also being strong in all the other directions of your spine as well as...

Class 14: Hip Abduction/Adduction
This class is all about the hips!
Abduction and adduction work together and yet very few people train both appropriately, causing hip weakness referring pain to the back and knee. Abduction is important for hip stability when standing or balancing on one leg, which occurs during 80% of walking a... -

This class is one of my favorites, where we go thru end range rotational training, hovers and lift-offs of the joints. These techniques combined with the neurological tension you produce is what strengthens the tissues at your end range to not only be strong and own your range, but to have contro...
