The rotational plane of movement is one of the most neglected for athletes and enthusiasts. You'll learn how to wake up these neglected muscles to both keep doing what you love without injury and, if you're an athlete, improve your performance.

The rotational or transverse plane of movement is the most important plane of movement when it comes to generating power and speed in a sport. These muscles are important even if you're not an athlete because rotational muscles also stabilize your joints.

You'll learn exercises for both open chain and closed chain movements. Open chain means that the limb is rotating without the body. A closed chain movement is when the body moves, and the limb is stationary.

The exercise sequence will wake up these rotational muscles and then bring the patterns into functional movements that you'll use in everyday life.

Start slowly. Coach E gives a lot of cues to pay attention to so you can visualize and feel when you're doing the movement correctly, training the bodymind connection and muscle memory.

For the third exercise in the sequence, you'll need an elastic band, such as a strength band or bungee cord.
