Grounding
PROGRAM 3 UNIT 2
Grounding
Do not be fooled by all the gimmicks or distractions that you will witness in the gym. Cross training has a proven 75% injury rate. What the body needs is to quiet the mind by being focused and grounded. Read instructions first, check settings of the machine or bench angles to be used before performing the exercise securely and safely. Note: consistency of practice, like chipping at a marble a little bit at a time, eventually it will shape-up to your desired results. Again pay attention to the special instructions in your program. In many instances, it is specified to have your feet securely planted on the ground, in a comfortable medium/wide stance. If you are standing, knees slightly bent; It is equally important to ground your feet and heels when doing an exercise that require you to lie down or be seated. The energy travels from your feet up. Use gravity in your favor. Always check the settings, and visualize the movement before starting, and remember the breathing.
