VitalBody Sample Course Materials
Let’s Get Started
This sample lesson introduces shaking — one of the five fundamental movements taught in the VitalBody course. Vibration has the effect of loosening things up — a bad thing for your car but a great thing for your body. Shaking is the single most effective movement you can perform to keep your body loose, maintain flexibility, and prepare it for activity. It can be done anywhere, anytime, and you will feel the difference in less than a minute.
It is through shaking your body that you begin the process of realigning your structure and improving your posture while compensating for the sitting and repetitive movement so prevalent in modern society.
VitalBody begins by shaking your body to loosen it up. This releases the sense of contraction caused by stress while facilitating your human instinct to stretch. This random movement will be demonstrated in the video below. Understand that it can be performed in infinite varieties and no two people do it the same.
Discover:
- How to shake your body anytime, anywhere to keep it loose and comfortable — especially after sitting at the computer
- How shaking fundamentally prepares your body for daily activity
- How shaking introduces you to the three ways of moving the body — up and down, side to side, and lateral flexion
- The feeling of increased mobility, improved circulation, better integration of your body, and a sense of understanding how your body moves
- That if you miss a day, you can easily pick up where you left off
Twisting
This video explains the basic twisting movement as well as introduces the idea of creating distance, direction, and velocity when moving your body. Subsequent videos will provide more advanced variations of this simple exercise.
You will learn:
- The ability to increase your rotational movement
- To twist while seated seated, standing up, or lying down
- Which side of your body is more restricted than the other
- How to restore flexibility, remove stiffness, and increase productivity after sitting for long periods
- How to stay comfortable throughout the day
As you use these exercises, you will notice that your movements tend to vary as your body's requirements change from day to day. This is an expected outcome. By allowing the human instinct to stretch to guide your body when you perform shaking and spinal twisting, you facilitate greater movement throughout your body.
Twisting Variations
Once the ability to spinal twist is mastered, there are endless variations that can be added to facilitate loosening up your body. Start by slowly moving side to side while you twist. This is the concept of incremental movement, i.e., varying the movement slightly as you perform it. Incremental movement is critical in daily life, as it compensates for the repetitive movement involved in daily tasks such as sitting and working at the computer.
You will learn:
- To work more directly with your body to facilitate comfortable, loose, pain-free movement
- To create movement while sitting to compensate for the effects of sitting itself
- To fine tune your range of motion by targeting stiff areas and addressing them first
