CATCH YOURSELF!

Hello and welcome everyone! Let's go back to basics...again. Learning and training muscles to be functional is a challenge...for the participant
and the trainer. Proper movement of the body is critical in attaining
"peak performance" in everyday living and in sports. Remember, the
brain must send the correct signal to the muscles. Let's start with foot
movement and the bending of the knees. When working with people of
any age I have noticed that when reaching for a moving object, most
will only extend the arm(s) and only bend at the waist. And we find
ourselves off balance. WHY? Because we failed to move one or both
feet in the direction of the moving object first, before reaching. The
same holds true when we start to fall...we reach in the direction of our
fall and our feet remain stationary. When falling to the right lift the
the right foot a few inches off the ground quickly and extend the leg a few
inches to the right, in the direction of the fall. Most of the time this move
will stop you from falling to the ground. So, it's foot movement and
then reach. This move will take some practice, but well worth the effort.
Summary...move your feet and bend your knees, then reach.

Have a great and meaningful life everyone! Jimmy O
