Pancake Power
Active, loaded & PNF pancake progression — full 30+ minute sessions.
The strength-and-progression counterpart to Pancake Path, now in full-length 30+ minute sessions. Twelve workouts across three phases — Foundation, Build, Peak — that add active good-mornings, straddle leg lifts and hovers, an isometric horse stance, and a contract-relax PNF drill on top of the deep stretches. The key stretches and active drills run a second (and on the thinner days a third) round, with longer holds, so every session is at least half an hour. Each phase raises the active work, the PNF rounds, and the goal-hold depth. Default cadence is every other day so the deep work gets a recovery day between sessions.
12workouts. Pick a day to start — each plays with the routine's music and backgrounds.
