Buoyant Fitness #draft #connectordoc
Exercise system based on using bands paired with unstable surfaces, with the goal of inducing a sense of wakefulness and springiness in the muscles, “expanded proprioception” in the mind, and buoyancy in the body and spirit.
#draft Exercise system based on using bands paired with unstable surfaces, with the goal of inducing a sense of wakefulness and springiness in the muscles, a feeling of “expanded proprioception” (proprioception that extends into the springs that hold you and beyond), and a sense of buoyancy everywhere, even in the mind and spirit.

hooking anything in the body up to some thing that has a quality of buoyancy can have a profound effect, especially if it's a sensitive area like hooking up melt balls to the bottom of the feet, it is getting the body and the rhythm of

#buoyantfitnessprinciple i wonder what natural frequency causes the relaxing spring is? i wonder what different natural frequencies due to the body?

does the pilates ring also have the proper natural frequency? the silver theraband dangling from a pull up bar? the red rogue fitness band hooked up to the five dots extra heavy x heavy lets fit black band?
what is this natural frequency?
#lookup natural frequency of spring
is it similar to the natural frequency in water or a prm? does this relate to the natural frequency of a melt ball? or maybe that is slightly different
anyway, the principle is to hook yourself up to something of the appropriate natural frequency and then stop grounding yourself on other things of the wrong natural frequency! start bouncing! @dad

sacrum heavy
#tutorial #write @tom how to make a part of the body juicy #writetutorial @tom - #springiness #review
first deal buoyant exercises like lying on the back on the foam roller and then putting legs in bouncy straps, and/or week beyond from chin up bar while lying on roller doing leg kicks forward so there is a combination of bridging and squatting pushing out word action, whatever gets you into this springy mode #springiness #buoyantfitness
then sacrum heavy, let's the upper chest lift, etc. fit grip the ground.
maybe try some classic pilates balance challenges like just lying on a song roller, hands on the hips, left one knee up at a time alternating #pilates #pilatesexercise
then ready to have the sacrum go heavy and do the other tai chi things. qi is flowing
#inducesqi
maybe also some amount of bouncing at a good swing frequency

hooking up to bands feels like an extension of your proprioception #buoyantfitness #bands #principle
relates to becoming aware of the tension in your mind body and the world around you causing things to move
there are always tensions in the world causing things to move. hooking yourself up to bands makes it explicit
