We’ve all heard how important our core is… and let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a flat, toned tummy, or even some 6-pack abs!!??

I totally get why people want the ripped tummies, but it turns out that’s actually not the most important thing when it comes to your core…

But not all core exercises are created equal.

Whether you’re a regular gym goer, weekend warrior or CrossFit superstar, mobility training is an essential component of any quality fitness program.

Warming up with some quick, deliberate mobility exercises can be the difference between hitting a new personal record and crushing failure, humiliation and potential injury. (okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but you get the point).

The fitness industry has evolved a lot in the last couple decades… constantly innovating new and different ways to “lose weight faster than ever!” and best of all it will “only take 10 minutes a day!”.

In today’s fast paced society, people are constantly seeking the best results in the shortest amount of time with as little effort as possible resulting in multiple shortcuts that compromise form for gains.

Squatting is one of the most fundamental movements we have as humans. In this video series Coach Rick – resident mobility specialist at Crossfit 613 – takes you through another simple exercise to help you improve your squat.
