If you don't know me yet, my name is Chi and you're welcome to The Body Conditioner. Here we
work in, not out. If you're new to the channel, hi, you're absolutely welcome, please say hi in
the comment section because I really want to get to know you. If you like my content then consider
subscribing because this helps me help others too. Often we just need to do a simple workout in order
for the body to know what to do during the day and this is what we're going to do in this video.
If you like that too then please click the like button and subscribe to the channel because that
helps me help others too. Today we will need two blocks, so grab the first one, take it into your
hands, stand on both feet and then squeeze that block in-between your thighs. Spread the toes,
keep the big toes in contact with the ground, the outer edges of your feet in contact with
the ground, and then look at the block, the orientation of the block. In my case, you may
see that there is a slight rotation towards the left, so the block is not absolutely straight,
that tells us something about imbalances in the body but we want to get a straight block. So what
we do is we want to bend the knees, pin down the big toes, and as you extend the knees and
straighten the legs you want to keep the block straight at the midline, and you may notice at
this point that one side works a bit harder than before, and that is what we want to see,
perhaps here you can see the difference before and after, left side before, right side after.
So stand here now, in this sensation, one side working differently from the other side,
pin down the big toes, notice the outer edges of your feet in contact with the ground,
and notice the outer edges of your heels in contact with the ground.
At this point remove the block, and perceive that sensation, isn't that awesome.
How would you describe that? And at this point,
grab the other block and squeeze the first block in-between your feet and the second one in-between
your thighs, so in-between the thighs you keep the long shape of the blocks. Notice that sensation,
so here it's all about the footwork not so much about the hip work. Notice the feet on the ground,
turn the palms forward
and notice that sensation in the body. You want the mound of the big toes to touch
the block, the inner heels touching the block and the outer edges of your feet stay on the ground.
And as you do that, there's a lot going on at the hips not because we are focusing on the hips,
just because we're doing the right footwork. So I would like you to notice the
correlation between your feet and your hips,
and as you work your feet there's equally something going on at the hips,
so perceive that, perceive also if one side works a bit differently from the other side. It's
nothing to judge, just to notice, just to perceive because as we do this we learn about the body.
So notice the hips stacked over the knees, the knees stacked over your ankles,
notice your shoulders stacked over the hips and your head resting on the shoulders,
and you just stand and breathe, taking the breath through the nose,
in and out. Anytime you breathe in, your belly expands, bulges, and
anytime you breathe out, there's a softening, and at this point remove the blocks, put them away,
and just stand.
Isn't that an awesome sensation, and that is what I wanted to promise you.
One exercise for your body to know what to do, and there's nothing else we need to do
and the body knows absolutely how to stand, you're doing a great job. If you have bow legs and you
