One of the things I've noticed through the years of observing body mechanics is the tendency that so many people have to let their body move through life without taking any kind of control over those movements. This idea shows itself in various ways - the classic postural slump or slouch. the sluggish gate of a walker or runner or when extra strength is needed (and not obtained) for a physical activity. No matter what you're doing, however, it's very important to stay aware of your muscles. In other words, be an active participant in your body's movements and postures not just a spectator.
In the 3 1/2 minute video below I explore this concept a little further (on the stability ball again :) and remind you that It's not only what your body is doing at any given moment that's important, it's what you are doing with your body that makes so much difference to your strength and wellness.
And it's not too late to pick up a copy of The Low-Back Repair Manual for valentine's day...it really shows how much you care about your loved one's back :)
As always, if you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to let me know via email or FB.
Keep on MOVING SMARTER and LIVING STRONGER!
