Aloha Reader,
It is really beautiful out today in Honolulu! I hope your day is going well wherever you are.
Small Ball Part 4 is up and ready for you! In this episode we will learn to use the small ball in a level I workout. In this workout will cover a series of exercises lying on our side and stomach. We will enjoy doing rotator cuff and back strengthening work with the small ball and much more!
Lower Body Micro Moves is starting soon and it cannot come fast enough! People are broken and in pain!
I cannot tell you the number of people that come to see me because they’ve hurt themselves pushing too hard.
Another group are those that have chronic pain. Rather than listening to the pain, up until they see me, they have chosen the road of pain killers, anti-inflammatories, and anti-depressants.
In the United States it is a common cultural practice to ignore and silence our bodies. We even consult with consultants who’s only known method of helping is to silence and cut off the pain. What could possibly go wrong here? Then we wonder why we never get better? Well, it is because nothing has been done to solve the actual problem that is why.
Pain is your body telling you something is wrong.
Don’t Medicate, Educate!
The first principle of my Micro Moves Method is: If it hurts STOP, something is going wrong.
The second principle is: Less IS MORE. If you work too hard you will either injure yourself or skip over the muscles and movements that need to be trained to recover and build true inner strength.
You see Reader, in order to get our deep stabilizing muscles to fire up properly we have to work at 25% of our max load.
That means 75% LESS THAN WE CAN HANDLE. If you try to hard or have too much weight or resistance you skip using the deep stabilizing muscles. Those muscles continue to atrophy. You stay injured or in pain.
On top of that 75% of the muscles in our body are DEEP STABILIZING MUSCLES. SO if you are not targeting the DEEP STABILIZING MUSCLES you are missing 75% of your muscles in your body.
In my Micro Moves Method I teach how to WORK SMARTER, not harder.
You’ve heard of your biceps but what about your coracobrachialis?
You’ve heard of your glutes, but what about your obturator internus and externus, or your gemellus superior and inferior?
What have you done for those muscles lately? Again 75% of your muscles require you to work at 25% of your max load to target them.
For the 3rd time, 75% of your muscles require you to work at 25% of your max load to target them.
Okay, I think I am done ranting now! I’ve been say this for over 20 years. Thanks for listening.
