Even though 2022 is coming to end, let me give you some gems that you can try or ponder in 2023.
Hopefully, do.
My inspiration for this post spawned while training a valued client as we threw a medicine ball. The medicine ball, when thrown, can be a stress reliever. You can also work on your road to ambidexterity.
Yup!
Catch that bad boy with two hands. Upon throwing the ball, alternating leading with either hand. You can still throw the ball with two hands, but you will follow through with one hand after each throw. If you only want to follow through with one side versus alternating, then that's fine. The follow through allows you to work on your less coordinated side.
Have at it!
While I am on this subject, do the same technique with kicking and trapping a ball. Not a medicine ball...ouch! Kick and trap with a fùtbol, kickball, or football. Nothing indicates that you cannot work both sides of your body. Your coordination will love you for it.
As a matter of fact, start your walks and sprints on the opposite foot, especially if you do reps.
Work your left...and right sides all of the time. Open a door, drive, write, type, playbthe piano, and more with your least coordinated side.
Avoid Popeye on one side and Olive on the other.
Alright, try it today in some action. How about pot holding while you stir and cook?
Much success to you | Derek | @teemptraining | derekteempt@gmail.com
