Mobility for Climbers: Follow Along Routine

[@stuartwebster2203]

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!

[@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! ❤️

[@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

[@ppangeaa]

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.

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!

[@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!

[@tasya986]

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

[@aracanthe7251]

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

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Thanks! ☺️

[@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.

[@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!

[@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 🫡

[@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 😂

[@omilu808]

Thank you for sharing! Felt better after

[@iwonadacka2015]

Love it Shauna! Feels so good 😊

[@ChatkritPertSinsomboon]

Thank you! 👌 Mobility is strength!

[@minjuyang1437]

Thank you so much for the content!!

[@hongl9903]

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

[@schonni8390]

Thank you so much, feels great!

[@tonybaloney7689]

Love the bonus!

[@SB-vs2xi]

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

[@rafeeeefar]

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

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

[@adamtravan3946]

Brings me back to the Covid days.

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

Hahaha yep

[@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.

[@evijaurtane3778]

Wonderful routine💯

[@tcr781]

loved it! My hips feel amazing, thank you!

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

You are welcome 🤗

[@nickyman007]

thanks for sharing

[@hofi05a]

Great clip!😊

[@pabloaquino7715]

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

[@robdb1993]

Love this !!

[@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!

[@DorisEWendt]

Re your sponsor: any tips for breastfeeding climbers? I have returned to climbing ropes slowly after having my daughter (now 8 months) but keep waking up hungry the morning after a climbing session.! Loads of regular nutrition packs say 'do not use whilst breastfeeding' which makes sense but then I am thinking that this is not that of an uncommon problem for active mums?

[@נתנאלעמיחי-מ9ז]

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

[@ShaunaCoxseyClimber]

It is on the list 😂

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.

[@DorisEWendt]

Pilates might be your equivalent to these yoga exercises. Many flexible climbers have this issue, tbh. I needed to work on strength more to gain mobility > and that was a tip of my yoga teacher who had the same problem!
