Active or static stretches 10 x 1 / 30 seconds
Decompression Hangs, Hip Stretch, Shoulder Dislocates.

Foam roller, longer session (about 10 minutes)

My trigger point tool still hasn't arrived so none of that included in this session. The foam roll did a pretty good job of making me grimace anyway without it. In fact the whole session had my face contorted. Mobility drills are the ones I think I need to concentrate on thats why it looks a little samey throughout the 3 columns, I'm sure they'll change as my needs do.

Bodyweight: I couldn't do the squat holds or hangs for 30 seconds x 3 so they stay but I get to move up to level 2 on all the rest of them.

Must admit I feel pretty good now after it. My back is throbbing a little so I'll have to watch that but all in all I feel a bit freer in movement. Psyching myself up for a hot and cold contrast shower now.
