so the next exercise is all about motor skills so important with posture this is
the routine you're going to be learning tossing the ball side to side and
touching the head and the knees then the feet behind the body this is tricky so
let's break it down let's just start with a ball toss feet about shoulder
width apart use the bend in your elbow to just slow down the ball toss slightly
once you've got that you're going to add in the head touch toss and touch opposite
side do that several times as long as it takes for you to feel coordinated swap
sides and again add in the head touch toss touch toss touch this is a great
one for kids they love this and then get it into a rhythm it's not as easy as it
looks this is about the speed you want to go
now go ahead and practice the leg portion toss touch opposite side and
then the other side again do it as many times as you need to to feel coordinated
and to get into a bit of a rhythm now add in the toss from side to side and
establish a rhythm I like to use a metronome simple phone app this is a
good speed now let's look at the third part of the routine touching the
opposite foot behind the body get the toss with the side bends you need a bit
of bend in your lumbar spine for this and then the opposite side it takes a
while to coordinate this just stay at this step before you actually put in the
rhythm now let's put the hands and knees together this is a good speed before we
put the whole routine together now this is the full routine oops i'm slowing
down a little now for those of you who feel inspired increase the speed this is
really tricky but this would be the long term goal this is good fun it's really a
great exercise and as I said if you've got kids at home get them started with
the individual parts of the routine you'll like it
when you get there and back to normal speed again
thanks for watching
