We Are 3D Movers: 1 Minute Lunge Matrix
We tend to forget we are 3D movers with a large portion of our daily lives and training moving predominately in the sagittal plane: forward and backward movement. But what about the other planes? These include the transverse plane (rotation or twisting movement) and frontal plane (side to side movement). Each and every one of our joints need to experience these three different planes of motion. Understanding motion in three planes was a big part of our teams training at the Gray Institute. Both Matt and Shanni are GIFT fellows which is a year-long biomechanics mentorship in the USA. A great, quick exercise routine we like to do at Everything’s Connected as part of our warm-ups to our weekly exercise staff sessions is the common lunge matrix, which takes our legs through all three planes of motion. It’s particularly handy for stretching out those often tight hips which typically seize up sitting for long periods at our desks. The lunge matrix only takes around one minute, so being time poor is no excuse. Try putting this in randomly throughout your day e.g. when taking breaks from your desk or even when chilling around the house. Your legs, hips, and back will love you for it!
