| Chest Flye |
| |
|
chest = openness
The Connection
According to Taoism, the heart carries our joys and the lungs hold our sorrows. By focusing on building chest muscles that are both strong and flexible, you enhance your ability to stay open to all that life brings. |
|
The Move
Wrap a resistance band around your back just below your shoulder blades. Holding one end of the band in each hand, lie face up on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Extend your arms out to your sides, palms facing up and elbows slightly bent. Draw your shoulder blades down and together and pull in your abdominals [A]. Maintaining the arc in your arms, bring your knuckles together over your chest, keeping the chest lifted [B]. Inhale as your return your arms to the starting position. Do 2 sets of 15 to 20 reps.
The Affirmation
"I am open to all of life's experiences." |

back = fearlessness
The Connection
The muscles of the back are like the shell of a tortoise, protecting your vital organs from the outside world. A strong back frees you to express your true nature without hesitation or fear. |
|
The Move
Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you, knees slightly bent and feet flexed. Wrap a resistance band around the balls of your feet and hold both ends in your right hand, arm extended toward your feet, palm facing in. Sit tall, and place your left hand on your hip [A]. Inhale, then exhale as you draw your shoulder blades down and bend your right elbow back, past your rib cage, and rotate slightly to the right [B]. Inhale and return to the starting position, lengthening and expanding your back. Do 2 sets of 15 to 20 reps, alternating sides.
The Affirmation
"I have the ability to handle life's inevitable changes and challenges with ease." |
