Welcome back to the training grind!
As my finger is broken and climbing is off the table for now, I thought it would be good to share a variation of my mobility routine that I use as a part of my weekly climbing routine.
I cannot stress how important Mobility is to climbing efficiently and effectively on the wall and the gains that you can make from being flexible and able to move through a variety of positions can make the difference between success or failure on your projects!
As soon as my finger is healed I will be back on the wall but in the meantime let me know what more training tips off the wall you guys would be interested in!

OMG what a revelation that hip opener at the end was, loved it. As an endurance runner as well as climber I’m always trying to find balance in my yoga, this class helped at lot. Thank you. ❤

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Amazing, glad it helped! And yep, running will always tighten everything up!

[@chadclark8069]

The basement woodies are a beautiful backdrop for these videos....almost art pieces rather than a training tool, thanks Shauna!

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Glad you like them!

When you posted the earlier warmup, me and my girlfriend adopted it and do that before EVERY SINGLE SESSION. It has improved our climbing abilities and mobility a lot. Thank you for a new one!

[@pangea5554]

I loved the 3 part transitions of 90-90 position 🥰

[@schonni8390]

Have been doing these exercises for about a week noe every other day, feeling overall so much better and a lot less tense! Thanks again.

[@cedricnoordam1761]

Thanks for the routine, this is my new easy-going warmup. It's a lot better than just hopping on the easy boulders as those never really warm up the shoulder/core muscles that well.

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

You're so welcome!

[@nailniall]

I always thought my mobility was pretty good, but it’s amazing how doing this regularly has helped, not only in my climbing, but also in helping to reduce the day to day aches/tightness of normal life!

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Amazing! So happy this is working for you! Keeping it regular is so important! ❤️

[@minjuyang1437]

Thank you so much for the content!!

[@robdb1993]

Love this !!

[@ChatkritPertSinsomboon]

Thank you! 👌 Mobility is strength!

[@iwonadacka2015]

Love it Shauna! Feels so good 😊

[@schonni8390]

Thank you so much, feels great!

[@omilu808]

Thank you for sharing! Felt better after

[@aracanthe7251]

Yes! I loved all your previous follow along routines, and mobility is so important in climbing, thanks for the video!

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Thanks! ☺️

[@ggrimpecom]

Being quite "mobility challenged" I found this awesome at times, awfully challenging at others. The issue with mobility/flexibility exercises is that the level you're at coincides with your form: obviously most people doing this kind of content are quite good at it, and often have a hard time relating to the physical reality of those who are really bad! In the end it is sometimes very puzzling to figure out how to start the progression in some moves, when you feel miles away from what you see on screen - at least when you're used to think conditioning in terms of "same form-different load".

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

What I would say is just keep mobility sessions within your current range of flexibility but as I said the key is consistency and turn you will see mobility gains over time. It is worth it!

[@evijaurtane3778]

Wonderful routine💯

[@tonybaloney7689]

Love the bonus!

[@dingusmcleod1]

I’ve loved you for years*, and discovering your awesome workout videos is the icing on the cake. Thanks so much!! *in a normal, non creepy, regular fan, way

[@hongl9903]

Thanks for your Vedio! Feel the body really warmed after the exercise 😊

[@tasya986]

Thank you! My body feels really great after that! It is very helpful

[@nickyman007]

thanks for sharing

[@LadyLaddy]

Thanks, Shauna. A few exercises are new for me. I love the last one; it feels so good! And I was surprised how much easier it is on the right side.

[@amparoechenique9422]

Absolutely loved the session, thank you ❤. Found the hip openers great! Just a wee heads up I had a few advert interruptions in the middle of the session but not sure if that’s my settings or you can set it at your end. I’ve followed other yoga sessions for climbers and ads seem to be at the beginning only.

[@SB-vs2xi]

this was terrific! Would you do an in-dept shoulder or in-depth hips session?

[@richardgreen8569]

The bonus hip exercises at the end might just be the holy grail of hip openers. Goodness knows how you can get your shoulder and head so fsr onto the floor when threading the needle there, it seems so beyond impossible to me 😂

[@richardgreen8569]

Yes! I've been waiting for this. My mobility sucks in a couple of key areas so I need this. Thanks Shauna

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Keep at it! It is such a game changer for your climbing 🔥

[@richardgreen8569]

​@@ShaunaCoxseyClimberI am taking that as an order since you clearly have the authority when it comes to climbing. Yes ma'am 🫡

[@tcr781]

loved it! My hips feel amazing, thank you!

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

You are welcome 🤗

[@hofi05a]

Great clip!😊

[@rafeeeefar]

Very similar to my existing routine. Good to have a professionals backing!

Brings me back to the Covid days.

Hahaha yep

OMG I'm doing this you're killing me❤😂 so Un-flexible Thank you 👍

[@leastenzel1397]

Thanks so much for the video, I really liked the exercises a lot and will integrate some of them into my Yoga routine. Just two suggestions: First, it is too quick for me. I am experienced in Yoga and am ok with the speed of most videos, but here I could never do all five reps before you changed. I know I can adjust this in my settings, but then the speaking gets awkward. :D So I'd suggest for you to remember that there is a slight difference between doing your routine by yourself and teaching it to others. Second, I also was a bit annoyed by the ad interruptions (as someone else wrote before). As I don't have this with other Yoga/workout videos, I assume that it's something that might be changed by you (?). I use Yoga not only for improving strength and flexibility, but also to relax and practice mindfulness. This is a bit hard to do with advertisement in between.

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Ads - great point and I have tweaked it so you should not get ads now in the workout. Let me know if it still happens and I will see what I can do! Speed! Again great feedback. When I do more of these I will be sure to go a bit slower!

[@user-qj2hg1yw8h]

I think you need to change the battery in the watch..

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

It is on the list 😂

[@mikafull]

sry AG1 sux, but like your training

[@sarahpemberton4089]

Really disappointed to see that this is based on yoga sequences and poses. Both my back specialist and the Yoga Medical Centre in London told to stop doing yoga years ago because I am hypermobile (that means connective tissue, not muscles) and so yoga caused me a host of SI joint problems. Indeed those problems stopped totally once I stopped doing yoga. A lot of people also struggle with having their wrists bent back for planks etc - especially anyone with a TFCC injury or similar.

[@tim.trewartha]

Why are you criticising the video based on your unique situation? That is unfortunate for you but what should she have done? Hope you find something that works for you!

[@sarahpemberton4089]

@@tim.trewartha Hypermobility is exceptionally common see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10137997/#:~:text=According%20to%20Castori%20and%20Hakim,%25%20of%20females%20%5B10%5D. . TFCC injuries are also extremely common as you can check with any climbing physio or Dave Macleod's book on climbing injuries. Nothing unique here at all.
