App Description

About this App

Steve has studied systems worldwide, then taken the best he's learned and put them into powerful beneficial sequences. Each 5-minute routine is a condensed version sequence of the best movements Steve knows.

Steve Maxwell's Gimme-Five mobility series is for the seriously time-crunched person whose circumstances limit their training plans. This could be due to a heavy work load, travel, social pressure, or even physical space.

You can expect to experience increased energy, clarity, freedom of movement, optimism, and the confidence that comes with body self-reliance.

The movements in Segment 5, a demonstration of the ancient 5-Rites of Tibetan yoga, have been around for millennia, but Steve considers this one of the most potent, practical routines known to him.


Who is Gimme-Five for?

Anyone time-crunched or simply looking for a little change-up in the morning routine
Anyone looking for a brief warm-up, cool-down, or just a short break at the office. You can bust out one of these mini-routines anywhere, anytime, anyplace
Athletes, non-athletes alike
The injured, the timid, the fit and healthy
The elderly, the mobility-challenged, the weakly flexible

Who is it not for?

People looking for lengthy, time-consuming routines (although Steve has ideas for you, too)
Miscreants

I honestly can't think of anyone who can't benefit from these 5-minute routines. Even those chronically dissatisfied cranks out there. If they would just do it, they'll feel a lot better about themselves. -- Steve Maxwell

Quoth Steve:

Hey, I spend an awful lot of time on the iPad myself. Writing, teaching, and lecturing as I do, sometimes I find myself in a bit of a time-crunch. So I'll bust a mobility move, sometimes even at the airport gate.

I find these mobility routines excellent for my own personal warm-ups. And I've become a big fan of the Tibetan rites. What's offered here is in no way a complete tutorial on the subject of the 5-Tibetans, but provides an excellent, anti-aging routine in brief.
