Walk through self-myofascial release and a guided meditation. Stress release during this crazy time. I do not own the rights to this music.
Git LIIT while working out at home. I bring creative ideas on how to make the most of your time at home - staying healthy in body, mind and spirit!
For restore and release, it's self myofascial release,
foam roller, lovely.
Well, I have a couple of these torture tools.
I'm in and out.
I'm gonna adjust the camera shortly.
All right, in the comments,
please tell me where you need,
if you're staying, if you're hanging out,
you have any issues that you want to work on.
And if you are on the YouTube channel,
you can always put in the comments below
and I can address those issues the next time I do it.
I do it twice a week.
So please, please feel free to comment
because if you're in pain,
there's not a whole lot of other solutions right now.
You can't go to the chiropractor, you know,
you don't want to go to the doctor.
Who wants to go there?
All right, so if I don't hear anything soon,
I'm just gonna get started.
I'm gonna keep it a little bit shorter
since I want to keep to the time
that I mentioned to people.
All right, biggest issue right now is my low back.
I think it's from all the sitting
that is happening lately.
So I'm gonna roll my low back.
Now, if you have a foam roller,
you're not gonna get as deep lead
as you can with a couple of these guys.
Okay, tennis ball works too.
But if all you have is a foam roller,
hotels, you can see, you can roll the low back, okay?
It is okay to roll the low back.
If it doesn't cause you pain, that is a fine option.
Okay, otherwise, you've got these.
You're gonna take them nice and low.
This has saved me quite a few times
on going to the chiropractor, actually.
So please feel free to use whatever tools you've got.
Any little bit helps, right?
So if you have a foam roller,
go ahead and pop on top of the two balls.
You want to place them nice and low and lay back.
Need a little wiggle on the side to side.
Fasten your feet, keeping the grooves
of your long side of the spinal column, your side.
If you are on that foam, please do the same technique.
It's okay, any little bit helps you.
This next move, you do not have to do, okay?
Whether you're on a ball or the foam roller, okay?
You can also use your furniture.
It's just to bring, place your hands on the floor.
You can do this on a foam roller too.
Use the furniture as a prop if you want.
Oh, hamstring, calves, shoulders, love it.
Okay, and your parents will address that side waist
very shortly, and then we'll go back into the lower half.
And we're gonna go to mid-back.
So ladies, right at the bra line, gentlemen,
I'm gonna bring you over your heart rate monitor to side.
If you want to continue that tabletop position, do it.
Get the movement in, side to side.
You know how to do it, right?
Side to side, the shoulders helps too.
Pressing through your hands and through your legs
when you first start.
Seat of a chair with the leverage.
Area.
If you have a foam roller, so I would recommend this instead
if you don't have a foam roller.
What you're gonna do, we're getting the QL right here.
QL, high QL.
You've got a slight 45 degree angle or a set of books.
Books aren't the best, but it gives you some leverage
or you can use the floor, okay?
You can place the ball back behind.
I'm right here, it's not gonna go back.
Lay back all the way down and just dig by pressing
through the opposite leg.
Sometimes even just allowing your body to melt over the top
and it gets in the right position.
So you've got the ball and then you have a good look under
so just melt over the top of it.
Whether you're on a foam or a QL.
Quite anything will throw other areas off.
And often what we're feeling is not the source of the pain.
So addressing these issues is crazy important.
Addressing the generalized area is crazy important.
Are you getting it, Charis?
That's so awesome.
All right, let's switch to the other side.
QL, baby, causes all kinds of problems.
Quadratus lumborum.
That's too much information.
This muscle that is connecting back here, right?
You can really, like I feel it.
It's nice, massive back there.
And therefore can get into a lot of trouble.
All right, get into that position and get what you need.
Side to side, up and down.
Dig, find it.
Okay, before we move on, roll through.
If you have a foam roller, just stay on that foam roller
and roll through.
So we've got two balls.
We're full length with the spine, starting at the base.
So put your head in that.
You're just gonna roll onto calves first.
So if you have a foam roller,
you can stack your legs on top of that calf.
One calf.
You don't have to be lifted off the floor.
You can just use your legs to leverage that way.
If you have, also stack.
You can get a stack of books.
That'll work too.
This has been quite the adventure with technology.
And I'm pretty savvy when it comes to this kind of stuff.
So, this morning was,
I could see it kind of glitching a little bit.
And I thought, oh no, are we in for another bad day?
Good.
While you're on that leg, let's point and flex that foot.
This is the fun one.
Get a little bend and straighten again.
So, you can always take the other leg off.
I preach about this all the time,
but if you foam roll,
the benefits are so great.
It's like kind of dumb if you don't do it.
And most people, I get it.
You know, it's like, it takes time.
But it is a habit that we should form
because it is so beneficial.
They're saying, actually,
the science behind stretching,
you know, stretching is good.
Flexible is good.
But how do you get there?
There's fascia that covers all your muscles.
And that fascia is what gets stuck.
You know, when you're cutting meat
and there's a web on the meat.
And that is covering our entire body.
And in that fascia is the skin.
So, when that fascia is stuck,
that's where the knots that you feel are.
It's not knots in your muscle.
And that's where you need to work it out
so that you can actually move properly.
It hurts so good.
Yes, it does.
I sweat.
And it's not something that you can just say,
hamstrings and the shoulders.
So, if you have a foam roller,
you're gonna move it up to where the bum meets the leg.
You need on top of the ball to move off way more.
Ouch.
Good.
Go ahead and point and flex.
The older we get, too,
the more necessary stuff like this is.
You wanna take care of yourself?
And nobody on the portfolio, right?
Nobody knows how to work their flexibility.
And the issues now before they become real issues,
requiring surgery and the like.
And you can prolong that.
But you can also
to put yourselves at that level.
I'm a sleeper and guided meditation.
I'm good, actually.
If you're on the foam,
you're gonna get nice and high with it.
I'm just gonna lift it if it's really high.
High as you can.
I just bought a new device.
It's hopefully gonna help.
Okay, so I'm moving back and forth.
It's just gonna follow me around.
We'll see how it goes.
But nice and high on that foam roller.
Lift your hips.
It's a movement.
Who doesn't need this, right?
Healing.
Even to administer.
All right, let's get the other side.
So remember, nice and high.
Really pressing.
Dig up and down.
If you're on that foam roller,
lift those hips up as high as you can get them.
Don't do it.
Most everybody has some kind of ball in the house.
Even if it's a small kid's bouncy ball,
I have it at work.
If you get in there, dig.
How are you feeling?
Good?
We're gonna get ready for some guided meditation.
Here we go.
Grab your mat.
Lay it out.
Grab your pillows.
If you need a blanket, grab it.
Whatever you need for comfort.
The weather's obviously warming up,
so you may be fine without anything,
but I personally like having something over top of me
because it relaxes you.
It makes you feel rounded, if you will.
Summer's coming, right?
Great way to celebrate a birthday.
Okay, so the theme today.
Thank you, Jill.
Have a great dance class.
The theme today, thought of the day,
is the stars shine brightest to reveal the light.
Here's today's image.
I'm gonna try and adjust it so you can see the galaxies.
Beautiful imagery.
Once you get comfortable,
we're gonna go straight to a laying down position.
Prop some pillows under your head.
I want you to take your lungs into the nose
every time you breathe in and out again.
You're just emptying yourself of all your worries
and stress and care every time you breathe out.
I'm gonna see if we're starting at the base of your feet.
Coming up.
Really hit some waist sensations.
Feel yourself melt.
Beautiful.
Looking at your city, the starry sky.
in one of the things that you don't want anymore.
Stars shine.
Feel a sense of accomplishment.
I want you to be viewing yourself as a star.
Looking at me.
That hand higher than your chest.
Beautiful.
Go ahead and take another breath.
I want you to focus on your shoulder.
Roll to your side and sway back to a seated position.
Beautiful.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
I really appreciate it.
Remember, you are a star.
Treat your family right.
Right now.
We're gonna do this.
We're gonna do it right.
Thank you guys so much.
