Aerobic routine for today, plus BODY-MIND
Body centering exercise
Exercise Description:
Good for proper posture, spinal problem and low back pain relief, helps looking slimmer. Improves body image and self-confidence.
Rationale:
By placing the center of the body mass into the correct position you avoid a lot of excessive tension and awkwardness. Intuitively a person with well-centered posture is being perceived as relaxed and confident. This is because any unnecessary muscle tension causes the impression of inadequate effort and anxiety.
Start Position:
Straighten the body watching yourself in the mirror.
Movement:
Imagine the center of your weight in the very middle of your body. Close your eyes and feel this center as a heavy tiny bead slightly stirring inside yourself. Try to connect it's stirring with tiny uncontrolled movements of your body. Deliberately increase the amplitude of the movements. Notice how the imaginable bead moves.
Direct your awareness to the muscles that you need to contract in order to keep the balance. Notice how far from the vertical line you can deviate and still keep your feet on place and your back straight?
Now start slowly squatting. Avoid leaning forward. Straighten your back. Make sure your ‘center bead’ stays within the feet’s projection onto the floor. Do you feel tension the in the Achilles tendons? The more flexible they are, the lower you can reach down without lifting up your heels and without leaning forward.
