Iâll say this right off the batâŚthere is NOTHING EXCITING or GLAMOROUS about this training. But, if we want RESULTS (whether narrowly or wider built), itâs a MUST!
The GOAL is to position our body in such a way in order to create space and, as a resultâŚcreate relative motion to move and feel better.
What I have for you today is actually a âprogressionâ from my blog "Pain SUCKS...Try this!" that I wrote about a month ago.
Many thanks to my friend and mentor, Zac Cupples, for the inspiration behind the process.
Hereâs what youâre gonna need: -Clear/Comfortable space. Wall space. -Something for your head/neck -Yoga block/Small ball.
Check out my video below. đ Sound ON!
Hereâs what youâre gonna do:
đ´ Be your BEST LAZY SELF in each position.
-Do your best to RELAX your PELVIS, HIPS, and BELLY! -It should feel like youâre doing NOTHING;) Be EFFORTLESS about it. âď¸Rest your eyes if you like.
đĄFind your 2 POINTS under each foot:
1) INSIDE HEEL 2) BASE of BIG TOE. đJust SENSE them. Keep GENTLE pressure on both throughoutâŚeither on the ground or wall. NO FORCE! Like 2-3 out of 10. âď¸Hands on belly for feedback.
NARROW RIB CAGE: -Feet flat on the ground. GENTLY hold something between your knees. -Find your 2 POINTS! -Hands on lower belly. ABS RELAXED! -Hold this position and breathe:
đINHALE: Quietly/Slowly through the nose (Tongue against palate). Neck relaxed.

Notice how you move and feel afterward. Is it any different than normal?
Practice DAILY as part of your normal routine and enjoy feeling better afterwards!
Dedicated to your health and longevity,
