This was the only thing I did in terms of exercise today.
The full, kind of boring +3 minute video is posted to my FitPro Hawaii YouTube channel.
I was hoping to hold the bottom position of a 12 kg./26 lbs. Goblet Squat for 5 minutes, but I caved at 3 minutes.
I had never done this before, so 3 minutes was challenging but it felt right.
I never look at this a holding a squat or horse stance by pushing down into the earth with my legs.
Instead, I spend the entire time exploring ways to spread the load to as many parts of my body as possible.
If I can do this, I feel like I’m suspended in a hammock and my muscles feel like they’re stretching, not straining.
My arms and shoulders will burn and get tired if I don’t breathe into my chest in a way that keeps it constantly extended and expanded, which allows me to support the weight with my lats and back muscles.
Holding the Squat for longer durations a few times can teach you more about this movement and how your body connects and relates to it.
Eventually, there’s nothing left to stretch and shifting my center of gravity becomes less effective as all the muscles are tired and changing recruitment strategies fail.
These are nice to to later in the day because they make a difference later, but they don’t get me so jacked up that I can’t sleep like a FOOL.
I hope you have a festive Friday 🎉
Much aloha🌺
