Every inch is a success in this challenge but it was much more than just gaining inches it was the breathing, eating and strengthening that really made the difference. I made a lot of progress, even if it's not seen, it is felt. The moves are getting easier but I still have so much more I want to learn, this journey will never be over for me! Now I need to try all of my new flexibility on the pole!!
I had to re-learn how to breath, breathing even deeper than I ever have before. This allowed me to get into my deepest stretch and than relax my muscles. Almost like tricking them to thinking "this is my new resting position"
I learned that if I wanted to perform my best and recover as fast as possible I needed the maximum healing powers of the best foods on earth. I used maca root for energy, spirulina, and amaranth for complete proteins, lots and lots of greens, teas made with a bunch of different kind of herbs, barks and berries for maximum immunity and I drank gallons upon gallons of purified water. Of course I didn't eat perfect every day and on those days I was not as productive.
Some days I had a lot of work to do so I I took it easy on stretching and let my body rest. Although everyday I still did some light active stretching to keep the flexibility I already had.
The other most important thing I learned was you need to strengthen the muscles in the new found flexible areas. In order to hold your feet to your head you need to have the strength in your back muscles to keep you there. Our muscles have never been held in these positions!
In conjunction with the touching your feet to your head, the better your splits and the more flexible your hip flexors, the easier it will be to touch your head. Every muscle works together, you just need to be mindful of what muscle is doing what and focus on your breath....it was definitely a challenge to say the least but I'm glad I did it because everything i getting easier and easier!
