Our health is paramount in delivering and receiving impact. Our awareness is paramount in using our structure as it was developed to use just what is needed for the continuity of our lives.
Start by standing a full step away from the wall. Relax your ankles and lean with both fists on the wall. Maintain a straight line from the end of the fist to the elbow and slowly relax your shoulder blades and then your shoulders and elbows until you reach the wall with your body. Inhale and return to the beginning but without pushing against the wall. Work on your inner tension and avoid leaking tension outwards.
Continue by repeating the drill facing away from the wall as you bridge overhead toward the wall.
Do only 60 wall push ups a day but do them with:
1. letting the breath start each movement.
2. Starting the movement from the body and not from the point of contact with the wall.
3. Maintain a free line of site with your eyes so you avoid becoming fixed with your horizon awareness.
And smile.
