Paul and myself were the keepers of the flame this week. Thank you to
Dynamax for supplying the photos for this week. We always finish off our Daily Dozen routine with the seated chest pass. This position reduces the legs to ballast and concentrates on the core. It is very important to maintain your spine in constant alignment from the hips. This way you can flex and extend the thorax region (chest & shoulders) as you flex and extend the arms
synergistically all the while the lumbar region (low back & hips) is stable. And, it is in this stable lumbar region that one can perceive the finishing point. A warming feeling will occur in the lower back signaling the person to stop. It is when we go past this point that the hips will shift to maintain an muscular advantage but in so doing will compromise any structural advantage. I other words, fatigue is your friend if you heed the feeling.
