After all the foot mobility, positional breathing exercises, and rolling around…now what? Happy you asked! :)
A common complaint as we get older is just how stiff we feel. And it’s a real thing…especially for me.
So, what I have for you today is a strategy that will help us loosen up and relax our body…for whatever’s next!
Rotation (aka, being able to TURN) is a necessary function to do what we want to do and love every day.
And like everything related to our health, fitness, and longevity, there’s a way to do it in a manner that’s simple, effective, and MOST IMPORTANTLY…SAFE!
As always, please remember, the BEST exercises for all of us are specific to our individual needs;)
Now, let’s get to our feet!
Here’s what you’re gonna need:
-Clear/Comfortable/Quiet space
Check out my video below. Sound ON! 🔊
🫁 BREATHING SEQUENCE:-QUIET…SLOW NASAL ONLY breathing throughout.
Here’s what you’re gonna do as DEMONSTRATED:
-Be as RELAXED as you can possibly be
-Look straight ahead
-Arms as RELAXED as possible
-Swing your torso side to side to start
-Let your arms just go along for the ride comfortably
Practice DAILY: 2-3 sets of 12 reps/side
Notice how you move and feel afterwards. Lighter? Looser?
I like to do this move first thing in the morning because it helps me wake up, but you can also use it for your prep before you do your thing.
💡 REMEMBER…REAL CHANGE requires an investment of our time, effort, and consistency in doing what’s necessary:)
Dedicated to your health and longevity,
Mike
