You're stable.
The back is safe.
The back is safe.
Let him go.
And then, ah, I'm palms on the floor.
So I love testing this.
Sometimes I'll just wake up in the morning and do five minutes of breathing exercises when I'm stiff as a board and just get into a position on the floor.
Because that's really how it's the breathing is how I kind of create this cylinder in my abdomen to sort of push the floor of the cylinder down as the pelvic wall.
The diaphragm is the cylinder, the top.
And then the entirety of my abdomen is the wall of the cylinder.
And so I kind of go through these exercises every single day, usually on my back, actually.
That's kind of like part of my warm-up.
And it's just a way to kind of ground myself around creating concentric pressure in the abdomen.
So on Monday, Monday is pure lower body.
Okay.
And Wednesday is arms and shoulders.
And Friday is chest and back.
Okay.
Super simple.
Like nothing, no rocket science.
