You heard another instructor use a cue, so you yell it out too. But did you ever stop to think about some of the things you say in class?

Like

• activate your abs in a backbend
• don't overuse your quads in footwork
• vertebra-by-vertebra
• shoulders down and back
• don't overuse your hip flexors in table-top

Many (possibly all) of these are nonsensical - they don't make sense. We're gonna unpack why.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

• Range of motion of different spinal regions one, two and three
• Here is Maximilian Stohr rolling
