MOBILITY and STRENGTH Training for Shuffling

Shuffling is not for the weak (both literally and figuratively). Not only is it intense cardio, but it also requires a lot of strength and power and can even be a bit hard on the joints. I'm sure that some of you (if not many) have suffered from pain in your knees, hips, ankles, just to name a few. BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY. 

The combination of strength training and mobility can not only help us prevent injury, but also help us dance better. 

Let's start with your hips. 

Not only do they not lie, but they also play a big role in a lot of shuffling movements. Particularly Cutting Shapes. Think about all the twisting, turning, and rotation of your body with all these movements: The Polly Pocket, the V-step, The Charleston, etc. All of these use your hips a lot. 

The more mobile and stronger we are, the better those moves will look AND the less likely we are to injure ourselves and be able to dance PAIN-FREE. 

To make it even easier for you to work on your mobility, I have a NEW GUEST TEACHER on The Shuffle Vault!

Joyce Ai is a PT who specializes in helping ravers & shufflers recover faster and dance longer. I'm so pumped to have her on The Shuffle Vault, I've learned so much from her from these videos and from our interview that we did together. 

In her new tutorials she's teaching us exercises for:

• STRONGER HIPS + BETTER CUTTING SHAPES

• STRONGER ANKLES & CALVES

• MORE POWERFUL RUNNING MAN
