🏗️ DAY 8: The "Prying" Hang

Hey Ageless Runners! Welcome to Week 2. You’ve built the foundation in your grip and shoulders; now we’re going to use that stability to unlock your lower back and hips.

If you’ve been logging miles this weekend, your lower back might feel "compressed." Today, we’re going to use the weight of your own legs to "pry" those joints open.

✅ TODAY'S MISSION: Day 8

The Move: The Prying Hang.
The Action: While in a comfortable hang, I want you to gently "bicycle" your legs or slowly rotate your hips from side to side. Think about letting your legs feel heavy, like anchors pulling your spine long.
The Goal: 3 sets of 45–60 seconds.
The Feeling: You should feel a gentle stretch through your obliques, your side-waist, and your lower back.

💡 Why This Matters

Running is a very "linear" sport, we move forward and back. This "Prying" motion introduces a bit of lateral decompression, which helps lubricate the facet joints in your spine and keeps your stride fluid.

Drop a "LOOSE" in the comments when you’re done! Did you hear any satisfying "pops" or "cracks" in your back during this one? 👇
