Level Up The Bird Dog | Taking this well known warm up and mobility drill to the next level!

In this episode of Level Up with Coach Ron, we go through the "why" of the Bird Dog and give you simple cues for setting up the exercise that will drastically improve its effectiveness. The Bird Dog is one of the most widely used mobility and warm up drills we see in the gym, however very few are prescribing and using it with a solid "why" in place. Understanding the goal behind the Bird Dog and how it can be used can take it to the next level as both a mobility and diagnostic drill!

Understanding the mechanics and modifications to best meet the demands of your client's desired outcomes is what helps you level up your exercise instruction.

Level Up is a series with KIPS where we breakdown exercises made popular through social media. Social media is a powerful tool for fitness professionals and can be a great way to get ideas for exercises. The important part is that each exercise is performed with the proper goal and safety is always kept in-mind. Clients should not be fit to an exercise and exercises should be modified when appropriate.
