Confident on the floor?
Not just able to get down there — but able to move, shift, and get back up without second-guessing yourself.
Because that feeling matters more than people realize.
Why I Created This Practice:
I hear this often: “I feel strong… but I don’t feel steady on the floor.”
And it’s not a strength issue.
It’s a coordination one.
Most workouts train strength in upright, predictable positions. But life isn’t always upright — and it’s rarely predictable.
When you’re close to the ground, your body has to organize itself differently.
It has to twist, shift weight, reposition the hips, and coordinate multiple moving parts before force can even happen.
That’s the missing piece this practice trains.
Where This Shows Up in Real Life:
This type of strength quietly supports moments that matter:
- Getting down on the floor to play with kids or grandkids
- Sitting comfortably during family gatherings
- Reaching under the bed or couch without hesitation
- Picking up laundry or sorting clothes
- Gardening or working close to the ground
- Getting up without needing to brace on furniture
It’s not flashy strength.
It’s confidence strength.
The kind that makes you feel capable in your own body.
What Makes This Practice Different:
This isn’t isolated strength work.
It’s a coordinated mobility flow that teaches your body how to organize itself in motion.
You’re training:
- Rotational mobility
- Hip positioning
- Weight shifting
- Bodyweight strength
- Coordination under load
Strength and control develop together — the way they’re meant to.
Movement Tips to Support Your Practice:
Keep these ideas in mind as you move through the practice:
- You can substitute 3-leg plank in place of 3-legged dog if that feels more supportive.
- Cushion your knees if they’re sensitive.
- Focus on how your weight shifts rather than how big the movement looks.
- Take smaller ranges of motion if needed.
You don’t have to look like me — or anyone else — while doing this movement. Your version will reflect your body, your mobility, and your strength right now…and that’s exactly where progress begins.
Do what you can with what you’ve got — baby steps are still steps in the right direction.
