As most of us know by now, a proper warm up that includes mobility can be the difference between feeling good on those 4 rep back squats or feeling like you are getting crushed!  To help facilitate your warm up we are now offering pre-mobility before class begins.  The pre-mobility will always be on the board or on the blog and will be focused to help you prepare for the strength portion of the workout.
