A Norma Masterclass
Teaches stretching and mobility
Seven short lessons with a personal trainer, filmed outside at sunrise. One move a day. By Day 6 you've got a 5 minute morning routine that starts at your calves and ends at your lower back. And it actually sticks.
Lesson 1 2:55
Class lessons
Watch them in order. Each one goes one angle deeper.
Lesson 01Angle 1
Here's the thing nobody tells you. Most morning stiffness doesn't start in your back. It starts down at your calf. Today you find that chain and take your first stance on angle one. Easy start. On purpose.
Calf stretch, 30 sec hold
Lesson 02Angle 2 to 3
One angle deeper. The slow heel drop works your Achilles under your own bodyweight, the same idea physical therapists lean on for tight, cranky tendons. Go slow. Slower than you think.
Heel drops, 10 reps
Lesson 03Angle 2 to 3
That first step out of bed that makes you wince? Common. Not normal. Add a toe raise at the top of the stretch and you start loading the plantar fascia, so your mornings stop starting with a limp.
Toe raises, 15 reps
Lesson 04Angle 2 to 3
Tight ankles change how your knees track. And your hips feel it too. Today you keep the calf loaded and add a slow hip rotation. Golfers, this one's for you.
Hip rotations, 8 per side
Lesson 05Angle 3 to 4
The one most of you came for. The back. Stack a flat back hinge on top of the calf stretch and you'll feel the whole line wake up, heel to lower back, in a single hold.
Forward hinge, 20 sec
Lesson 06Angles 1 to 4
Nothing new today. Just everything from the week, timed into one 5 minute flow. Press play, follow along, and you're done before the coffee is.
Full routine, timed
Lesson 07Payoff day
Last lesson. Not the last morning. The board's the tool, but the habit is what actually fixes things. Watch the payoff walk, then keep going with the 4 Week Guide.

What you'll learn
Sounds backwards, right? But tight calves pull on everything above them. So we work up the chain one link a day, and by Day 6 the whole thing moves together.
