BEE YOUR BEST

Daily MOBILITY Routine

These exercises are designed to be completed each day at the beginning of your shift, and before returning to work after a break.

Does one side move farther or easier than the other side? Do the exercises feel differently today, compared to the day before?

These exercises should be used to both physically prepare your body for work, and also to provide a checkpoint for taking inventory of how your body is moving and feeling.

Daily STABILITY Routine

These exercises can be completed each day to help build stability and balance.

We care first about the ability for the feet and ankles to move - if they move well, they can adjust to the changing surface under your feet.

We care next about strength through the feet and ankles, and also the legs in general. If the legs are strong, they can take on the demands of being upright throughout the day.

Finally, we want to train our balance. When the surface under our feet unexpectedly changes (e.g. unexpected wet floor), we want to have strategies to adjust and maintain balance.
