Hi @ Ania Drozd and everyone! How should we manage Reps and Series for each exercise? Should we do more reps or holding time and few series or few reps/ holding and more series? Or is completely irrelevant? Thanks in advance!

Hey everybody.I've been in the group for three days now and I'm glad I found other people who dedicate time from their lives to gain life. Because health is life. And our body is the most important asset we have in this world. It is our weapon. I already feel a little better and my goal is to take my life into my own hands again.

How have you deal about identifying and processing the pain and movement of your body? It seems very simple but most of us can’t specify what’s going on with our own body and get worse when we also need to track the areas involved to identify the origin of movement, stiffness, weakness, pain… It’s been really helpful what Ania explains about controlling, intention and awareness of movement because it’s not common for most of us “the simple mortals” to be taught about it. Since we were kids we’ve just done whatever it’s needed to be done for move, no matter if it’s just about living or at any sport, even many “trainers” aren’t conscious about it and just want more reps., stretch, etc. and many injures come from that approach. By the way when you focus at the same time on breathing, controlled- conscious movement, engaged core and a neutral-natural spine then you’re on an active meditation!

Feeling a bit better already after the first week, but i still have a long way to go. Most exercises feel good, only the Dead Bug Leg Tap iss quite challenging. After like 4 movements of each legg my core also is starting to give out and it feels a bit scary on the right side (back). Any suggestions for overcoming this? Also needing likes to get to the second phase :)

I’ve done the phase 1 and I would like to share and get some retro about how you in the community have done with some aspects. I’m going to start with Breathing. Over time I’ve taken different “breathing practices” depending on the sport I was practicing: swimming, inhale by your mouth exhale by nose; running ,inhale by nose exhale by mouth; weight lifting, inhale-retain-exhale… but just in yoga and Pilates there’s deep intention about where breathing originates. And here with Ania becomes really interesting to achieve the consciousness about how we’re breathing and most important, and I get curious, how do you manage your breath while doing the exercises? Particularly when appears an extra effort where usually you tend to retain breath. In my case I try to get focused on keeping it fluid specially when things go hard because it’s right then when consciousness has to be very active although sometimes it’s not very easy
