Why we do "reaches" in our sessions...
You’ve probably noticed we use a lot of reaches.
There’s a reason for that.
Reaching is not just an exercise—It’s something your body is naturally designed to do.
But over time…
We move less.We stay in the same positions longer.And even when we train, movement can become repetitive. So the body loses its ability to move freely and coordinate as a whole.
That’s where reaches come in.
👉 They give your body a clear, meaningful task
👉 They help joints move through more natural ranges
👉 They reconnect different parts of your body
Instead of forcing positions…You simply reach—and your body starts organizing itself.
In the video, I’m doing reaches from a kneeling position.
👉 Give it a try
👉 Move slow and with control
👉 Don’t force anything—just explore the movement
After you try it, let me know:
• How did it feel?
• Did one side feel different than the other?
• Did anything feel restricted or disconnected?
And one more thing...
Would you like me to create a short 5–8 minute follow-along reach routine?
Something you can use as:
• A quick Barefoot Break
• A morning routine
• Or to complement your training
👉 Comment “yes” if that’s something you’d use
