In today's video I'm going to explain the bow legs exercises to avoid from a
yoga perspective. So remember in the last video we talked about the bow legs
treatments to avoid from a yoga perspective. If you missed the video
you'll find it here in the cards and today I'm going to talk about the bow legs
exercises to avoid from a yoga perspective especially if you want to
minimize your bow legs as quickly as possible.
My name is Chi and you're welcome to The Body Conditioner. Here we work in not out.
If you're new to The Body Conditioner. Hi! You're absolutely welcome. Please leave a
comment below because I really want to get to know you.
Write yes, bow legs! That means you want me to make more videos for your bow
legs. What we're all about here at The Body Condition is working in. And I like to
give you my best exercises. You will get the workouts, the work-ins, the exercises
that work. Exercises that I have tested in many years of private yoga
practice working with my clients one-on-one. That means there's no trial
and error and you get the shortcut to success, the shortcut to minimizing and
correcting your bow legs as quickly as possible. So what are the bow legs
exercises to avoid from a yoga perspective especially if you want to
correct your bow legs naturally. Now the first one is hip flexion. So what is hip
flexion? Hip flexion means that the torso gets closer to your thighs or the thighs
closer to your torso. So especially when you sit that is exactly what happens
right? The thighs come closer to the chest, the chest closer to your thighs, to
your femur. And this is something we do every day all day long right? Some of us
for six hours, others for ten, others for 15 hours. So it is the sedentary lifestyle
right? You sit in the car, you sit at the desk, you sit at work. So all these things that
is already hip flexion. So especially as you sit you do that in a certain way
and this habit is not very good to help correct your bow legs. So if you have
missed my video on how habits contribute to our bow-leggedness you will find
that video here in the cards. Just click on this link you find up here. So
what are the exercises that do a lot of hip flexion. So we have squats,
we have deadlifts, we have all these activities where you flex the hip a lot
and especially if you want to correct your bow legs as quickly as possible I
urge you to do less of that. And if you want to do squats and the likes, do that
in a mindful way. I have one video where I talk about squats and how to do squats
properly if you want to correct your bow legs. You will also find it here in the
cards. Just click on this link that appears right here. Number two, number two
are all the exercises you are used to, perhaps exercises that you've done from
an early age. For example in my case that's basketball. So perhaps you started
at a very young age to play football, to run tracks or whatever it was that
you did and you are so used to whatever you do. And anytime you go back to it you
do it exactly the way you did it when you were younger or when you learnt
it. So basically it's very, very difficult for us to unlearn our habits as we do
something we're so used to. So basically were not able to do that in a mindful
way, a bit more intentionally. So I suggest if you want to correct your bow
legs naturally and especially quickly avoid the exercises that you did when
you were young. And thirdly if you want to correct your bow legs naturally
avoid the exercise that cause you pain. So some of you complain of
knee pain perhaps you have ankle pain. Whatever it is and whatever you do, avoid
the exercises that cause you pain. So you're thinking Chi, I should avoid this,
I should avoid this, I should avoid this. So what can I do instead,
so what can we do from a yoga perspective? So number one, whatever we do
we do that intentionally, we want to train our awareness, we want to be
intentional about what we do and that means especially that we want to roll
over our big toes, we do not want to roll over the outer edges of our feet. We
want to unlock the knees. If you have missed my video on three yoga exercises
for bow legs you will find them here in the cards and they're super important.
Number two we want to work in sync with the breath and anything we want to do
from a yoga perspective we want to synchronize movement and breath. We want
to keep body and mind in the same place, we want to land in the body and we want
to do that mindfully, because number three we can only change our bow legs if we do
that mindfully. Everything you want to do when you workout you want to do that
slowly you want to do that in sync with your breath you want to be present as
you do it because as you activate your hips, as you change, you want all that
knowledge, all the changes to land in your body. And for all that to land in your
body, it will take some time. If you want to get my free eBook on how to correct
