In today's fast-paced world, where desk jobs and digital dependency are the norms, achieving functional flexibility can seem like a daunting task. However, the EV/CO tribe has shown a resounding interest in improving mobility and flexibility. This blog post, paired with our latest YouTube video, aims to demystify the science behind functional flexibility and introduce you to the most effective tool to enhance your mobility and joint health: Controlled Articulate Rotations (CARs).
An Evolutionary Perspective
Last year, we delved deep into the evolutionary perspective of health, exploring how our ancestors utilized natural movement patterns in their daily lives. However, despite our best efforts to incorporate these ancient patterns into modern routines, the reality of contemporary lifestyles—with its sedentary habits and chronic stress—can hinder our progress. This brings us to a pivotal question raised by Dr. Andreo Spina, a prominent figure in Functional Range Systems,
"How do we compensate for not doing what we were naturally selected to do?"
Introducing CARs
Controlled Articulate Rotations (CARs) are not just fitness fads; they are scientifically backed techniques that address the limitations imposed by modern lifestyles. CARs involve moving a joint through its full range of motion in a controlled manner. This not only helps maintain joint health but also improves mobility and prepares the body for more dynamic activities. The beauty of CARs lies in their simplicity and efficacy, making them a perfect fit for anyone, regardless of fitness level.
Introducing Our Newest Program: ISOLATE
To help you integrate CARs more effectively into your daily routine, we are excited to introduce our newest program, ISOLATE. This program offers detailed tutorials on performing CARs for every joint, coupled with full-body routines that can be practiced at home or even at work. This program is designed to ensure you can keep your joints healthy anywhere, anytime, making it incredibly convenient for maintaining mobility in the modern world.
Bringing It All Together
Our latest video not only guides you through the CARs technique that you can apply to any joint, but also shows it in action. Whether you're a hand balancer, a professional athlete, or someone just looking to lead a healthier life, this method will create the stability mobility and integrity needed to achieve your goals.
By integrating CARs into your routine, you are not just exercising; you are embracing a lifestyle that respects and enhances your body's evolutionary design. Check out the video to see this method in action and join us at EV/CO to continue evolving in your fitness journey.
