X TRAINING (2)

Welcome everyone...recap re (1) and for future reference. If you can perform an exercise one direction, you can perform that same exercise in 4 directions. Reminder...we are establishing BALANCE in mind, body and spirit. Moving on...place a large air (rubber) cushion on floor and standing to the right side, step on cushion w/left foot, knees slightly bent and either have someone throw you a ball from 5 ft. away. The thrower moves back and forth in front of you. If you don't have a thrower, then throw ball against a wall. This is a 2 min. drill. Then reverse foot on cushion . If 1 ft. proves to awkward, start w/2 ft. Next, same cushion, standing on either L or R side, crossover step w/crossover in front of stationary ft. and then lift stationary ft. off floor and then place back on floor and crossover in back of stationary ft. and place on cushion and do ball drill again. You will know after 4 min. which leg is stronger and which is weaker. Next writing, different balance drills and a mix of Martial Arts. Jimmy O www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
