Cross Crawl: Increase your Mind Power

Cross Crawl is a powerful exercise and easy to do.

Did you know.. that the cross-crawl technique is one of the easiest ways to activate your brain development and nervous system. It gives the proper motor and sensory stimuli it needs to take control of your bodily functions thereby preventing or rehabilitating health problems. Often known as ”supercise” it’s simple and easy to do.

It is essentially an exaggerated walk which facilitates the crossover of energy between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The brain is bathed in Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (or C.S.F). Stimulating the flow of the vital C.S.F yields great benefits. You’ll find a list of some of the real advantages of using this exercise below.

Use it regularly to both discharge and recharge your attention and energy. It’s a great break from over focusing and it works just as well to bring body and mind online.

Signs that your cross-pattern movements could use some sharpening include:

  • Lack of coordination and balance
  • Difficulty reading
  • Exhibiting learning disabilities, such as dyslexia
  • Clumsiness
  • Saying things backwards

Fortunately, you can reprogram nervous system and strengthen the connection between the right and left sides of your brain using cross-crawl exercises. Remember, nerves are very much alive and willing to learn new things.

How Do You Cross Crawl?

When you watch someone do their first Cross Crawl the first thing you will notice is the person will begin to smile!

Stand with your feet apart and your arms open parallel to the ground. Shift your weight to your right foot, lift your left knee and touch it with your right hand.  Then step back to both feet and immediately shift weight to on your left foot as you lift your right knee and touch it with your left hand. Then continue to repeat this several times in a comfortable, upbeat, rhythmic way. And breathe fully and enjoy.

To get the most out of Cross Crawl you should perform the movements very slowly. And when the exercise is done slowly, it requires more fine motor involvement and balance, consciously activating the vestibular system and the frontal lobes.

So anyone who wants to find out even more about the potentially life changing techniques may like to consider investing in our workshops.

Check out when our next dates for the “Balanced Health” Course are taking place.  You will learn this and lots of other techniques to improve health.  We also run Taster Events for anyone who wants to find out more before they commit.

10 Days to Thrive – Exercise – Day Seven

Systematic Kinesiology 10 day challenge to thrive

 

Is it finally time to commit to a new daily workout routine? Are you tired of saying you’re going to exercise and get healthy and then not follow through with a plan?

 

If you have not worked out in a while, setting tough goals for your daily workout routine might make you start, you will only begin to  feel overwhelmed unmotivated. It’s important to start small.

Don’t say you’re going to run a marathon in 6 months,there’s nothing wrong with taking baby steps and accomplishing a few small goals before moving on to bigger goals.run-750466_1920

Some small things you can do to help motivate yourself are to focus on daily consistency instead of the amount of time you spend on working out. It’s more important to stay motivated than to focus on the length of time of your workout. Once your motivation is in place, then you can work on elongating your workout session.

So today take a walk even if it’s only 150 steps from your front door. Find out if any running groups are in your area or some classes you might like to join.

 

Have you tried rebounding ?

This affords a special mention.  When you rebound, you are flooding the cells with oxygen (thereby improving ATP production) while also strengthening the cells and protecting them against degenerative disease.  It stimulates the lymphatic drainage system to help the body get rid of toxins, waste, bacteria, viruses etc.

Our bodies are energetic and when we use the rebounder, we may assume it’s only to improve the lymphatic system, but I think it’s more than that – facia

Rebounding help improve posture, balance, muscle tone and will elevate your energy levels.  Because of the impact of gravity as you rise up, the body becomes weightless for an instant, and when you land the gravity pull is suddenly doubles and puts internal organise under pressure.  This helps squeeze out waste materials within the cells, and into the lymphatic system.

Our bodies thrive on movement – be that running, swimming, yoga, lifting weight, or simply walking.  Somewhere in your day is to introduce movement somehow.  Some exercises will ground you, some will get you in touch with your spiritual self.

So todays challenge we ask you to do a little exercise or plan your exercise for the week. Pop over to our facebook page and see how the everyone else is doing with the challenges
