Doing these on a call with cooked me big time. He challenged me to do at least 20 minutes daily, and it’s actually been a pretty easy habit to get into.
It’s simple, I can do it at home, I can listen to pods or watch something while I do it, the immediate after effects are enjoyable, it carries over to my other exercise, and feeling it get easier over days has created a positive feedback loop.
I started needing multiple breaks to accumulate 20 minutes on the head. Now I can manage 20 minutes straight through. I do like to mix in the shoulder positions too, but they are harder for me to hold for more than 5 minutes at this point.
There’s lots you can do with the focus of your breath and suction to reinforce the midline during this. The MovMed courses are great for learning how to add depth to these kinds of practices.
But even if you don’t know any of that, if you’re patient, aware, and committed, you can get a ton out of making this a habit.
