If there is a side of you that refuses to get tamed, the side that loves to go wild every now and then, then you’ll have fun with this drill haha :)
I love how it makes me feel, especially when you do it after a long day of sitting and working at your desk. Completely opens up your tense body, especially your shoulders after being hunched over a laptop all day. It’s a build up on “Side kick through” drill I shared a few weeks ago.
I’m sure there are better and more fluid ways of doing this drill but this is how I try to do it:
- Start in beast position; knees hovering an inch off the ground
- Do a side kick-through
- Drive elbow and shoulder blade back
- Place front foot down
- Lift back heel and drive hips up
- Feel the glutes fire
- Open hips, belly, chest and shoulders
- Sweep your arm like you are painting a wall with a broad brush in your hand.
- Reach behind you.
- Come back down to starting position
- Repeat the same movement on the other side
Key is to take your time. Don’t rush. Go slow. Breathe. Feel your body open up and expand. Keep breathing throughout.
I hope you have fun trying it out. Let’s get wild! 🙂
