It’s great to do low intensity compound movements! Practice them often and consistently. Here’s a movement you should try this week..

  1. Put our hands on a flat, stable surface. (Place your hands on the floor for greater difficulty).
  2. Make sure that your knees are not resting on the floor or surface, and that your knees are directly in front of your wrists.
  3. Push your body back into a deep squatted position. Feet flat. Knees at a right angle. Arms outstretched in front of you. 
  4. Rock forward to the starting position. Bending your elbows. Making the movement smooth.
  5. Push back again. Keep the movement smooth.  Continue. Get a nice rhythm and breathe!
  6. Practice until you feel a burn in your legs and arms.
  7. This is a small step that helps to create the big picture.
  8. Practice!!

Full Plank to Lunging

Begin in a full planking position. Step your left foot directly outside and next to your left hand, without moving anything else. Raise your torso to an upright position, arms hanging down at your sides. Shift your back leg so that you have a right angle in both knees. Perform 3 stationary lunges, keeping your torso upright. Return your hands to the floor, and return to a full planking position. Perform the same movement on your right side. 3 lunges on the right. Repeat on each side until you have performed 4 sets of 3 on each side alternately.

Have fun!

Physical training is a large topic.

The way to approach this big picture is in small, consistent steps. Beyond strength, flexibility and cardiovascular training, there is also: Agility, Balance and Coordination training. These essential elements of fitness make your Physical training something that you can endure with a low risk of injury, and helps you to integrate your training into your everyday life.

We cannot discuss Physical training without acknowledging the connection it has to the brain and mind.
What your internal dialog is around your practice and during your practice is just as important as your breathing, your being present as you practice and your form.

Your level of intensity need not be high most of the time, however intensity is something that you should train as a skill. Changes come with challenges, and the more you become accustomed and accepting of that fact, the fewer obstacles will be in your way to the changes you are looking for
