Awareness Through Movement #364

Elbows and knees - CONNECTIVITY

Too funny, I asked Grok to edit the lesson with visuals and it’s come up with all kinds of craziness - magnets between the knees, slingshots pulling knees into the body, body rocking like a pendulum head weaving through the legs, swap arms like changing dance partners, rolling back like a turtle, body folding like an accordion, your head and elbow are a flag rising on the right side of your body…

and that’s a small snippet of a very visual interpretation, there’s a LOT more that have my eyes boggle… hhhmmm… might be fun to read one day!!!

It’s another classic lesson with very Feldy moves, and it’s the beginning of a little series for (what I can see so far) 3 days, could be four.

As far as the biomechanics are concerned, Grok says:

Key Biomechanical Concepts Applied:

• Force and Momentum: Movements involve generating and controlling forces, whether it's lifting one's body or limbs against gravity or using momentum to transition from one position to another.

• Stability and Balance: The lesson includes exercises that challenge and improve balance, requiring stability from the core, hips, and shoulder girdle.

• Lever Systems: Understanding how the body uses levers (bones) and fulcrums (joints) to perform actions with less force but over a greater distance or with more force over a shorter distance.

• Coordination and Proprioception: The exercises demand high coordination levels and proprioceptive feedback to adjust movements in real-time for effectiveness and safety.

By integrating these biomechanical principles, the lesson not only promotes physical fitness but also educates on how the body functions as a mechanical system.

Let’s see if these concepts apply to you!!

hhhmmm… as far as Grok is concerned, we might grow another leg after this lesson!!
