It's been almost 3 weeks since I started the routine and it's been really beneficial to do so. Great improvements over muscle tone, flexibility and balance. I now feel the need to do some stretching after waking up and change positions more often. It's not yet every morning after wake but I intend to get there. Some days I felt the need to skip a day to have some rest and I'm sure it helped the body to recover.
It's also been of great help to get grounded and quiet harassing thoughts. My will to re implement EE has come back too. I remember seeing a naturopath a while ago telling me I was too Yin already to pursue still meditation. A Yang activity would be of better help. Now I understand better the need for balance between the two.
Seeing you guys doing it and knowing you keep up with it motivated me much. It's a clear example of the difference between one owns will to do an exercise regularly versus the will brought about by a group. Great job at getting us motivated, that is the most important part here because I've known different exercises for long, but lacked the discipline and consistency to do them regularly. Now I want to keep up with it.
Also, as you're always improving it and keeping it dynamic, I've been thinking back about different approaches I learned. Re implementing some Movnat exercises progressively is something I consider. During the
Fascia podcast, it was mentioned as something to try to discover, and also that every movement that becomes too repetitive can become problematic from a fascia standpoint, hence the need to change routines from time to time.
So I will post here some examples from which one can get some inspirations and play around with different levels of flexibility, mobility, strength and fitness, just to expand the movement repertoire.
This channel is full of different routines, the guy is named Kellen Milad and I really like his approach:
This is a different kind of fitness channel dedicated to going beyond traditional exercise and bringing you creative movement practices and workouts. My approach to fitness is influenced by natural movement, parkour, yoga, dance, martial arts, bodyweight / gymnastics, and traditional weightlifting. I believe that movement and mobility are essential for keeping the body healthy and strong for a lifetime. I also believe that true fitness happens in the real world so it's important to get out of the gym and move in nature.
Another approach I discovered in Wat Pho Thai Traditional Medical School, Bangkok, Thailand is called "Ascetic Self-Stretching/Rue-si Datton". Statues have been built in the temple, many have been stolen. They made a series of 18 videos online, quite recently!
