    Charlie,
    If you have pain start there.
    If you have an area that needs attention start there.
    If you are doing a sport or have something specific in your workout you want to mobilize for or recover from start there.
    If there isn’t anything pressing at the time follow the daily maintenance.
    Getting started will help you know where to go next.

    Tight hamstrings may be a symptom of anterior pelvic tilt.
    The hamstrings are trying provide stability to the pelvis.
    Have you done a search of the archive for hip extension or hip flexors?
    There are several which address these.
    A couple to start with

    John,
    There are many ways you can get started.
    For the assessments it is a 1 or 0. You have full range or you don’t.

    Have you watched the How to Use This Site from the Getting Started page?

    Have you gone to the workout section of the virtual mobility coach and scrolled to the pistol or sport and scrolled to cycling/mountain biking? There are pre and post options for each. Each day you visit there are different mobilizations.

    Have you searched the archive for pistol or cycling?
    Two which address hip and cycling and ankle and cycling:
    Pro Episode #7 – Solving Problems of The Bike Part 1: Hip Function

    Pro Episode #8 – Solving Problems of The Bike Part 2: Ankle Function

    You can search the archive for an archetype, sport, movement, body part, or another way you think of and have several options.

    The 14 Day Mobility Challenge addresses each archetype in 2 days and how to mobilize for it.
    14-Day Mobility Challenge | 7 Green Lights | Day 1
    This on the app in the bonus section

    Charlie,
    If you are in pain that is where you start.
    You don’t want to click on random body parts. Where are you experiencing pain?
    Start there.

    Start with the big engines of the hip and shoulder.

    Other questions?

    Welcome Mike,
    I’d recommend starting with the Ready State quiz from the FAQ (https://thereadystate.com/about/) scroll down to the FAQ then click on the 5th now down “I’m new to the Ready State, where should I start?” Take the quiz and based on your answers, the Ready State will share customized resources that can help you Live Ready. This is one way to get started.

    Sounds like you have reached your tissue tolerance when running. Are you working up and down stream of your low back?
    What is causing your back to be “pretty stiff” during the day?
    Addressing the elements within your environment will help with addressing the cause.
    Have you done any of the pre/post running under the sports section?
    Or done a search for low back or running on the archive?

    Does this only occur when doing the low back mobilization?
    If it is sciatica there are some episodes which address this and the areas to address around it to improve the area.
    One to start with

    I’d recommend getting checked out. Numbness and tingly which is persisting and new needs attention.

    Welcome Rupert,
    Good to hear you are using the hip wheel and couch to hit your target areas.
    You will need to see a medical professional for a diagnosis.
    No, you should not continue what is causing the electric shock leading down into your glutes.
    Working up and down stream of the hip and glutes can help improve these areas.

    There are a couple cycling specific Pro Episodes which may be a starting place.

    Start with an area which needs attention. If you are in pain start with the pain option and click the area of the body you want to address. There will be a prescription to work through and advanced techniques to address the area with different equipment.

    You can search the archive to address a specific area, movement, or archetype. If you know a specific episode, daily mobilization, or passed dose you want to do you can find it here.

    You can pick a daily maintenance of 10, 20, or 30 minutes to start to address an area. You can see the focus area and needed equipment within the write. These have a short write up on what is addressed.

    Other questions let me know.

    Yes, Becoming A Supple Leopard and the Virtual Mobility Coach/TRS site work together.
    Becoming A Supple Leopard lays out the principles and theory which provide a base for understanding the systematic approach, the archetypes, movement hierarchy, and categories of movement. Then builds in techniques and mobility prescriptions.

    The Virtual Mobility Coach gives you options to personalize your mobility work based on what you need. Depending on where your focus is for the day pre or post workout, pain (Select a specific area), sport specific pre or post, daily maintenance (10, 20, 30 minute sessions) or you can search the archive using specific words, movements, areas of the body, archetype, techniques etc.

    Courses, trainings, protocols, webinars, and plans expand your knowledge base on/in a specific area and/or give a plan to help improve a situation you or someone you are working with is experiencing.

    They work together building your knowledge and understanding of mobility and how to approach something you are looking to address. You start to know what works best for you to address different aspects and can start to build your own prescriptions. Both build a bigger understanding and application of the work.

    Working up and down stream of the palm are things to address as well.
    Here are a couple doses to start with.

    Another option is using a Leopard Claw on your forearms, palms, and fingers. My nephew has tight hands and he loves when I use the Leopard Claw on them. Keeping things so he can access the best possible positions available to him.

    Brian,
    Athletigen offers a few different reports based on your DNA. You can do the DNA test through Athletigen or you can upload results if you have already completed a DNA test. I believe you are referring to the Athletic Report. The website is below. Click the word products and scroll down to the report.

    Welcome Justin
    10- 15 minutes a day is recommended for everyone. Checking in with different areas based on your pain, workout or sport, or a daily maintence day helps to address things before they become an issue. A daily practice keeps things in manageable doses. I see a difference when I don’t spend time.

    One thing to check is iron levels. My aunt had symptoms clear up when iron deficiency was addressed by her doctor.
    Doing some work to set up a nightly routine to improve sleep density may help.
