This four-week program from Master RKC Jon Engum, author of the book “Flexible Steel,” promises to “breathe new life into your high mileage body.” How does Jon propose to do this? By strengthening the ‘four knots’ – the hips and shoulders. Building strength and increasing flexibility in these areas will provide tremendous benefits for athletic performance and everyday life.
