Yay for hanging in there and plugging along! It's about the journey not the destination! As some of you are struggling to keep the pace, motivation or even giving yourself some time I promise it's worth it!
I wanted to do a movement class that develops your ability to absorb forces. Our body absorbs forces 24 hrs a day! Its ability to be able to absorb our body weight and so on affects our ability to develop power!
There is a constant balance between the strength of our internal rotators and our external rotators.
For example: As our foot first makes contact with the ground our body has to have the ability to absorb the forces that occur as more and more body weight is transferred to that foot. This should come from the strength of your internal rotators, if weakness is present then the external rotators will try to help to slow down the forces. This seems complicated but what it really comes down is the stronger you are in absorbing forces (strength on the in) the better you will be at producing power (strength in the out) which allows for freedom of movement!
See if you can notice how 'light' you become on your feet after building your in!
