Plane Training

At Meso Fit Boca, we take systematic approaches to things like movement prep to allow us to see progress from workout to workout. The following multi-plane movement preparation and workouts are just examples of how our programming can take you to the next level. The variations below allow you to use these movements as is, or peppered into your current program.

Remembering the planes is easy. If you imagine standing in a hallway where your shoulders almost touch the walls, the movements possible in that hallway happen in the sagittal plane. The coronal plane is best described as any movement possible with walls directly in front and behind you. And the transverse plane is where rotation occurs.

At Meso Fit Boca, we differentiate movements from the spine from movements of the extremities. The joints best suited for flexion, extension, and rotation, are the shoulder and hips, and they should create the majority of movement. That doesn’t mean that movement from the spine is against some unwritten law of physics. Plenty of people move from the spine and never have an injury. We just believe that for longevity, creating maximum power takes a stable spine.

We use Multi Plane Movement Prep before engaging in anything strenuous. This simple series of movements moves you through slow steady stretches and transitions that prepare you for the multi-plane movements below. First, work on moving into each pose after 5 full, deep breaths. Take your time.
