We often find less pain, no pain, improved mobility, better balance, better focus and concentration as a result of doing exercises for the lower body in a differentiated manner.

Somatics exercises for the lower body can be thought of as engaging our self with the sub-programs of movement through an act of differentiation.

Movement software update – Exercises for the lower body

We’re not only re-programming how we move via our brain’s cortex, we can notice the distinct and different quality of the movement or of the resulting relaxation which occurs with somatics exercises for the lower body.

When we were younger, smaller and much lighter, we spent hours and hours of programming and re-reprogramming our movement patterns through many patterns of differentiation.

As we’ve aged and used those earlier programs, maybe we figured we have all the programs and don’t need to update the movement software anymore. We might have forgotten about the quality of differentiation when it comes to exercises for the lower body.

For ourself and our physical development, when did we end tweaking our movement software?

What is the proper amount?

Healthy animal exercises for the lower body

Healthy vertebrate animals naturally do 7-10 movement updates in the morning and 40-50 periodically throughout the day.

While this may sound like a lot of movements to do to remain healthy. Read this article on a motion tracking study.

Many of us have done 3 sets of 20 or lots of aerobics when it comes to exercises for the lower body. This shifts us into the brain’s cerebellum, which does learned movement.

The somatics approach to exercise differs by having the focus not be on the higher number of repetitions but on the quality of movement itself.

Somatics exercises for the lower body is about the act of movement itself along with the intention and precise angle of articulation so our motor cortex becomes highly involved and can change how the muscles function and come to rest.

These types of exercises for the lower body advances a cumulative approach to improving coordination, awareness, heightened balanced, and sharper sense of ourself.

Exercises for the lower body with a twist.

By changing our relationship with gravity, this small twist on doing exercises for the lower body is enough of a difference for our muscular tissues to evolve towards higher function.

When we change our effort, or even interrupt a pattern with our intention, this furthers along our brain to help the sub-program of movement to improve.

In this week’s Friday’s online class, we’re going to play with more exercises for the lower body doing the unusual somatics exercises in the normal way as well as in other differentiated and interesting ways.

You’ll consciously interrupt the simple 3 step method and learn a few newer ways to enhance the practice of somatics exercises in this class for exercises for the lower body.
