This is a great little exercise routine (inspired by Gary Gray)that involves multiple planes of motion, multi level lifts and doesnt take a lot of time. So, if someone tells me they dont have time to exercise, I say Bull@#$&! I have an answer! The Matrix. It only takes about a minute and a half! And if they still say they dont have time, I tell them to just do it faster! Or I know they really dont want to exercise.
THE MATRIX Alternate reps for 6 for each movement in each plane. Move as quickly as you can with full range, good form and control. Try doing multiple sets with 1-3 min rest between.
Shoulder to Overhead Series
Waist to Shoulder Series
Lunge and Reach Series – Chest to Knee or Floor (if able) Do sagittal then frontal then rotation
Lunge and Reach Series 2 – Chest to Knee/Floor and Return to Overhead Position
Do sagittal then frontal then rotation
Some variations are to use 2 diff size weights and/or do with one or both eyes closed
Have fun and enjoy!!!!
Get Strong! Stay Strong!
