naw…I do upright yoga poses and mountain bike for my core. Been running for 44 years so it works for me!
ReplyThanks for your comment, Cheryl. I’m curious to know which upright poses you’re talking about. Most of the standing yoga poses have very similar benefits to this workout with the exception of not including rhythm and firing the muscles in a more isometric way than the dance approach. The warrior poses, anything involving standing on one leg and doing things with the other… all work the midsection along with the hips, demand balance, move the pelvis in all three planes… I’m not sure “naw” is really the applicable word here.
ReplyI’m finding this video to be most helpful. I have never danced but I run everyday and over the last few years I have had difficulty feeling my pelvic rotation. The video emphasises the movement which for me is increasing my awareness and the cue to do this with flat feet is grounding me. The dance reminds me a little of your Running on all Fours exercise and it creates the same sensation for me. Now just to retain this out running all the time!
ReplyTry it just before running, Sue, as Jane reports below. See if that helps!
ReplyThis is so funny. The reason why I do running in the first place is because I’m not coordinated enough to do anything else!
ReplyThe first time I tried this video I found it quite difficult and I wasn’t sure if I was doing it properly so I felt a bit discouraged. I tried it again in front of the mirror though and I found I wasn’t doing too badly. A little jog later on felt looser than I had before so I’ll try the video again soon.
ReplyThanks for the update, Jane! I’m glad you tried it as a running warm-up, that’s a great way to use it.
ReplyHi Jae,
Great post! Really helpful and the video is amazing.
I would definitely this 🙂
Keep up the great work
