Body Intelligence
Influenced by yoga, Pilates and kinesiology, the aim of BI is to increase body awareness, prevent injuries, stabilise joints, strengthen muscles and correct imbalances.
This is a short stretching sequence covering the major muscle groups of the legs.
Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds but feel free to hold them for as long as you feel comfortable in the stretch. Imagine “inviting” a stretch rather than “pushing your way through resistance”. The body will naturally and gradually adapt to each stage of the stretch and you might find yourself going a little deeper into it every few breaths. Try not to have a “goal” in mind though – just let the body relax with gravity and focus on long, deep exhalations.
Enjoy!
This is a short sequence consisting of six exercises; some strengthening, mobilization and two stretches.
It only takes between 15 and 20 minutes to complete this sequence. Have fun :-)
This is a fun alternative to the more common plank with a leg lift.
However, it is quite a bit MORE CHALLENGING!
Pay attention to your pelvis when lifting the hand off the floor; the goal is to keep the pelvis still (i.e. no rotation in the torso).
Start with 4-5 attempts keeping the hand in the air for just a couple of breaths and gradually work towards 2-3 sets holding the position for longer.
Have fun😃
