1 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS Hello and welcome to this content dedicated to conditioning. It will give you additional information and will allow you to save time if you need to remember a specific stretch. Knowing how to train is important, but a large part of your progress lies in your ability to recover from previously exerted efforts. Not wasting time also means saving time. That is why it is important to prevent injuries through self-treatment so that you don’t end up forcibly immobilized. Investing a little time each day in stretching and/or self-massage will help you maintain good mobility and thus, reduce the risk of injuries which are often linked to compensations due to stress or to a restricted range of motion and therefore, asymmetric. You will have to be patient, to take the time to do things slowly, remembering to breathe throughout, as this helps to expand, ‘unglue’ and pull on the tissues, as well as to oxygenate them. Every stretch you can see in this video is done done as passively as possible, although it is not necessarily passive itself. Stretching too hard/too brutally will not help you feel better and may, on the contrary, add to the problem you want to treat. Your body is made up of interconnected muscle chains, starting from the feet and going up to your skull and down to your fingertips. The problems that we encounter are very often linked to imbalances that lead to compensation, resulting in blockages, tensions, pain, and even injuries. It is quite often that the heart of the problem is not necessarily where the pain is located because that pain is only the compensating area. You should therefore always try to treat the entire muscle chain and not just a painful point, but also treat the opposite side in a more or less equal way. Muscle chains start, pass, and end up in very specific points. This means that the same stretch with a different ‘grip’ will not stretch the exact same area the same way. This is why you are going to see me constantly changing the position of my hands, the way I hold my foot etc ... You can slightly modify each of these stretches yourself, or find others, by not putting the hand but the knuckle, the palm, or the top of the palm etc... The same goes for the feet : you’ll see me placing them in different ways throughout the video. You are free to try all the possible ‘grips’ and ‘variations’, if we can call it like that. 2 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS CAUTION: The back of the neck is a sensitive area that should not be brutally manipulated, cracked or attempted to replace by yourself : it is dangerous and only a few professionals can do it without taking too many risks. In this video you will see me gently press my head to the side with the arm raised because the arm, shoulder and neck are linked and accompanying this stretch with a light weight on the head going to the side helps to have a better stretch in the targeted area (DO NOT TRY TO CRACK YOUR NECK : IT IS NOT WHAT I PROPOSE TO DO). The same goes for stretching the neck, chin raised : it does not target the cervicals in any way but helps relax the trapezius muscles by compressing them and retracting the back, while stretching the muscles of the front of the neck up to to clavicular insertions. Therefore, do not even try to feel any particular sensations in the cervical area, this is not the desired goal and I repeat, can be dangerous. Finally, the stretching with your hands on the skull, forehead towards the ground, does not pull on the cervicals either because it is accompanied by a kind of scapular protraction/intentional swelling of the back which does not pull on the cervicals but which stretches muscles all along the vertebrae down to the pelvis. 3 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 4 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 5 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 6 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 7 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 8 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 9 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 10 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 11 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 12 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 13 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 14 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 15 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 16 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 17 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 18 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 19 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 20 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 21 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 22 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 23 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 24 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 25 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 26 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 27 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 28 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 29 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 30 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 31 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 32 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 33 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 34 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 35 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 36 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 37 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 38 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 39 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 40 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 41 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 42 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 43 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 44 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 45 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 46 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 47 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 48 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 49 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 50 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 51 CONDITIONING CALISTHENICS 52 CALISTHENICS LEGAL INFORMATION Any Sports practice involves risks, DavaiCalisthenics, as well as its entire team, cannot be held responsible, and hereby disclaims all liability in the event of injury.
