Build a Better Backside
Being quad dominant, bi-pedal animals, we are perpetually moving forward in life. Be it walking, cycling, running and general activities of daily life + adding a phone/computer in our hands has increasingly disconnected us from our backside … which is SO much more than our behind. Connect with your posterior, wake up, illuminate and train this entire kinetic chain to encourage better and more functional anterior connections for better posture, ease, efficiency and economy of activities of daily life, as well as performance related activities.
