Have a good stretch out while improving your mobility and posture with this gentle, flowing sequence.

This class will help you regain full body mobility with more dynamic movements up top before some floorwork and relaxation.

This core workout means business – expect plenty of planks and leg raise variations.
Olivia shows how you can avoid common runners’ issues, such as muscle soreness and shin splints, by warming up your muscles before your run and stretching them afterwards. If you have a foam roller, make sure it’s nearby – if not, you can use self-massage instead.
