FOLLOW ALONG ROUTINES

These follow along routines, created by FBB Master Coach and Doctor of Physical Therapy Adam Fetter, show up in Persist on active recovery days, but you can refer to them any time you’d like to work on your mobility. On rest days, a 30 minute walk or some low impact blood flow, followed by a recovery mobility session, is a terrific way to reset for your next training day. You can also pair a workout from the 30/30 Cardio Ebook (found in the Account – Documents section of your TrueCoach account) with one of the routines below.

 

Each video is listed with running time and equipment if needed. Filter and search for your favorite areas to work on.
