Is the ability to touch your toes really a test of flexibility?? . In my TED talk I mentioned prioritisation of the spine and in this video l demonstrate exactly what that means by focusing on what the spine is doing in a number of positions. . This will also show you how stepping back & being true to your spine will actually help you progress not only correctly without hurting yourself but quicker & in the right direction. In this video we look at; . - The squat - Touching your toes - The crossed legged sit - The leg hold - Forward Fold All of these exercises have an identical pelvis position. . If you get this position right and are able to match this position in all the above exercises you will not only prioritise your lower back / spine, you will be heading in the right direction & not waste lots of unnecessary energy pulling your spine into a rounded position. . Use a mirror, film yourself or ask somebody to watch you... . In our retreats later this year & in the London workshops I will be working with you to make sure you apply this correctly to your body 👌 . #theframptonmethod #theflexiblebody

🎵 Music = movement. Do you have a song or track that makes you want to move? This weekend we spent the weekend at a party dancing for 6 hours. My smart watch even calculated I walked 10 miles!! 😂 Ok alcohol consumption & shots of tequila patron aside which seemed a good idea at a ridiculous hour 🙈😝 I can’t think of a better way to motivate people to move than music. In fact the only motivation was their love of what they were listening to. Looking around the club & seeing people of many ages moving their bodies without anyone telling them what they need to be doing and just seeing people express themselves in their own unique way was fascinating, especially from someone who spends their time motivating people to move their bodies more. . 🚨 Challenge alert!! . Why not one night a week. Instead of watching tv or staring at some kind of screen, exchange it for your favourite music choice & allow your body to react in its own unique way whether with a flat mate, partner, family or friend or on your own. Ps. Feel free to share your favourite motivating tracks below. You never know you just might inspire someone to move. #theframptonmethod #theflexiblebody
Got an awesome exercise for you. So simple yet so challenging. 💪 When it comes to exercises some of the most simplest exercises can not only be the most challenging, and also the most rewarding. 🏅 Try this. Stand on one leg & lift the other leg out to the side as high as you can. The height you get is your level of mobility in that direction. Points to focus on; - Keep both legs straight & squeeze your thighs. - Turn the top foot upwards. That’s big toe up. - Point your toe of the top leg. Repeat 3 times on each side for 30 second holds. If it feels impossible try little kicks for added height. Enjoy 😉. #theframptonmethod #theflexiblebody
A guy walks into the doctors complaining of a headache. The doctor says; “What do you think you have you been doing to cause this headache?”. . The man replies “oh, just bouncing my head of a brick wall for the last couple of decades”. . “Right” says the doctor confused as to why the man can’t see what his actions have led to. Sitting on a chair for work, to watch tv, to socialise, to travel, to eat, to drink might not be so obvious as bouncing your head off of a brick wall but it’s repetitive consequence is having a devastating impact on our long-term health. The way we move our body today is a consequence of the actions we have chosen & in 10 years time our movement will be the consequence of the actions we take today. Don’t follow the crowd. Be different. Make your own choices. Laugh with me later. We’ll be 100 + years old and partying hard 😂 😉🥂 #theframptonmethod #theflexiblebody
