Are you aware of your body? No, seriously?
We all know someone, or are that person, who has dealt with the pain, the shocking reality that we are not moving the way we thought we were. Perhaps you believed you could be taught how to Dougie, but nobody loved it when you did it. Your parents or your partner keep telling you to sit up straight and stand up straight. You do not know what they’re talking about. Then one day you see yourself in the mirror like the hunchback of Notre Dame.
We don’t always know how our bodies move. Age we age, the connection we gained from crashing everywhere as children disappear. We used to trip and not miss a step. Now, we trip and we can’t tell we are falling until we hit the ground. Without our Body Awareness (Proprioception), we may minimize our results as well as maximizing our risk of injury. Representing the barrier between our goals in fitness and sport. Even worse, our ability to recover from injury.
