Our feature artist/tutorial today is the animation on TORSO... MOVEMENT, by 下田スケッチ【絵の描き方】! The LUMBAR section of the SPINE allows your trunk to move in all directions — front to back (flexion and extension), side to side (side bending) and rotation! #anime #manga #animation #gamedevshow more

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this great ANIMATION TUTORIAL... on FABRIC, by the talented Mazu (Commissions Closed)! That note on OFFSETTING the duplicate motion is a brilliantly simple way to create a sense of ORGANIC VARIATION in the motion. #animation #gamedev #2danimation #manga #animeshow more

Hip mobility isn’t just about stretching the hip flexors.... Your hips need to rotate, flex, extend and move side-to-side while the pelvis and trunk stay controlled. This sequence uses different positions to explore those ranges, then challenges you to control them rather than simply forcing a deeper stretch. 1/8 — Half-kneeling hip mobility This half-kneeling movement looks simple, but the useful part is how you move the pelvis over the hip while keeping the trunk relatively controlled. It can explore hip extension and side-to-side movement without needing a large range. The goal isn’t to push the pelvis as far forward as possible. Think about creating movement at the hip rather than compensating through the lower back. If you feel the lumbar spine doing most of the work, reduce the range.show more

Galant Reflex 👶🏻🥰 It’s also called ‘Trunk Incurvation Reflex’... It happens when the baby is in Ventral suspension and one side of the spine is stroked,👉🏼 Hips move towards the side of the stimulus .show more

The Hollingsworths Emma Hollingsworth Lyla Hollingsworth came down from... Massachusetts today. A big part of our lesson was learning front-side compression how the front leg and hip stabilize so the body can rotate up against it into contact. Too many hitters think forward momentum is “bad,” but it’s not. Moving forward is necessary, the key is keeping the body connected as it moves. We worked on using the rear lat and back side to pull back and stay connected to the front side. This keeps the body together instead of pushing forward. Through resistance band and towel drills, they learned the feel of: •Holding strong direction through the front side, •Allowing the pelvis to pull the rear leg through, •Creating whip of the barrel against the front side and through extension.show more

Misunderstood: the front leg and how to "firm it... up." It’s not pushing you back. It’s holding you in place. Stable front side = spine stays organized Then the back side can actually rotate. No stability → no direction → no consistency.show more

CORE TRAINING - Mid week core, movement and mobility... session from last week to break up some big volume days. Emphasis was rotation through the torso, length, anti rotation, lateral flexion extension and anti- extension. Here are a couple variations we did yesterday.show more

The video is built around slow, supported positions—not intense... stretching. What stands out is the use of the floor, pillows, and props to reduce the amount of muscular effort needed to hold each pose. That can make it easier to relax into positions involving spinal flexion, side-bending, and gentle back extension. The goal shouldn’t be to force a “deep release.” Sometimes the biggest benefit of slow yoga is simply giving your body time to move, breathe, and settle without rushing from one position to the next.show more

Most runners have underdeveloped internal rotation. That's why stretching... your hips never seems to fix anything. 90/90 heel lift trains the exact range that's missing. → Front leg in flexion and external rotation → Back leg in extension and internal rotation → Lift the back heel against gravity, that's the hip IR working → Can't lift it? Lean your torso slightly away from the working leg → Move slow. 2-3s up, 2-3s down I'm using a 1kg weight here. Start without load and build up. I'm adding this exercise in my routine because just like most runners, my adduction and internal rotation strength is lacking. 3 x 8-10 each side. If your pelvis is rotating, drop the weight. Quality over quantity.show more

If I only had 10 minutes for mobility, I'd... start here. A lot of people approach mobility by looking for the tightest part of their body and trying to stretch it. I've found it works better when you look at movement as a whole. Your hips influence your spine. Your spine influences your shoulders. Your ability to rotate, bend, squat and reach all work together. This flow moves through the hips, adductors, spine and hamstrings while building awareness and control through a variety of positions. 1) Side Lunge Hip + Side Body Flow Open the inner thigh and create length through the side body.show more

This movement guides the hips through rotation while the... obliques control the twist and the lumbar spine moves gently.show more
