BANF Mobility: MOVE IT OR LOSE IT

1. Cat Cow (60-90s)
- Target: Spine
- Focus on segmenting the spine, think Mexican wave through the back rather than straight up/down

2. Hip CARS (10 Left & 10 Right)
- Target (Hips 😅)
- Try and rotate the thigh through as much range as possible
- Isolating only the hip joint (imagine keeping a full mug of coffee resting on your lower back)

3. Worlds Greatest Stretch (12 Left & 12 Right)
- Target (Hip Flexor, Hamstring, Quads, Spine) it really is the don, hence the name
- Sink the same side elbow to the floor near the inside of the foot, look at your hand as it rotates up to get a big mid back rotation

4. Pigeon Stretch (90s Left & 90s Right)
- Target: Glutes
- From plank, bring one knee up in between the hands. Aim to get your front leg to 90 degrees at the knee, resting on the front of the thigh of a fully extended back leg

5. Adductor Rock (10 Left & 10 Right)
- Target: Adductor/inner thigh
- Rock back on one knee and one foot with leg kicked out to the side

6. Downward Dog Backbend (10 Reps)
- Target Chest/Shoulders/Spine
- Spend a few secs in each end position

7. Hamstring Sweep (45-60s)
- Target: Hamstring & Low Back
- Reach down towards one foot with both hands and make as big as a circle as you can

Couple weeks since we duppied Phil Knight in a thumb war for the activewear market. Sent him packing with one lone tear in his eye. World’s smallest violin playing Dry Your Eyes Mate but The Streets can’t mourn a love they never really knew. Nike has never been for the culture. Couple nostalgic ads but London’s finally arrived on a Come Up so biblical Roc Nation finna sign us. Stay tuned. Shop consciously. The shift is tectonic.

BANF. Represent your ends.

Finally. The collab we’ve all been waiting for… BANF x someone actually smiling. brought the Vibes without the Kartel and the admin choppered in Mr Potato Head to slap smiles on anyone moving moody 🚁 when you look this good (without having to remortgage your yard to shop consciously), you feel THIS good. Stylish, eco-friendly activewear that doesn’t break the bank 🤝 Shop at the link in our bio.

P.S. Keep submitting your workout of the week times. Leaderboard’s hotting up. Will release this Sunday.

Recycling the same dusty workouts every week is boredom personified. Creating new ones is long and trying to incorporate functional elements without really knowing how simply isn’t the one. We’ve been there. We feel your pain. We’re here to help. And we’re delighted to introduce… as our resident PT. Mark’s here to provide the BANF community with carefully curated workouts, adding a likkle spice to your fitness regime whilst demystifying functional fitness.

I can’t lie contract negotiations were tuff. Asked us to buy his mum a house. Offered him a meal deal, a Fanta fruit twist and a fredo. Settled on three packs of skittles sours and a new tamagotchi 🤝 He’s extremely knowledgeable, an actual professional (breddah does this for a living), and possesses just the right amount of foolishness to be perfect for the brand. We are extremely gassed to have him on board.

First workout of the week drops THIS Monday. Scan the QR code on your tee or vest to unlock the magic 🪄🫡

The Pensive Warrior. Sometimes shoot days come with hard truths, and this moment was one of them. We’d just broken it to Ade K that Bonsai doesn’t mean delicious little tree in Japanese. Rocked his whole world. Took a lot but the breddah stayed true to his training, kept calm, breathed deeply, and contemplated if any of his other life tenets were to be shattered that day. Externally coming like a chess grandmaster, internally moving like a Nigerian inbetweener. Get you a man (and brand) that can do both… Stylish, sustainable activewear with a splash of stupidity 🤝 🍃

Workout of the week launching this month.

Cranked the heat. Blew the thermometer. Freddy Mercury’s in retrograde but the show must go on. We officially challenge to a thumb war. Winner takes the activewear market. There’s levels to this game.
