Divine Design: Strength
Like the Earth’s core, the Pelvic Floor Muscles are the epicenter of the body - effected by all thoughts, movements, and changes of the environment. Whatever happens in the brain happens in the PFM, and whatever happens outside the body also happening inside in it. Better yet, as above so below, as the universe so the soul.
Being that our breath affects the function of the nervous system, the breath and Deep Core Pressure Management System will be the necessary foundation to cultivate true strength. Remember, the DCPMS are the first muscles your nervous system roots into. First baby breathes, they stress, then their nervous system is regulated so they can recover and rest. Keep stressing and recovering, aka regulating, and you’ll continuously heal and grow.
The stronger your breath, the stronger your DCPMS, and therefore, the more stable your nervous system. In other words, you can capitalize off the control of your holes!
So imagine what happens when you prioritize your breath and deep core connection throughout resisted movement...I’ll tell you – by optimizing your inner most layers, they’re then more likely and better able to integrate with the superficial layers, like your six-pack muscles, obliques, glutes and shoulder muscles. You’ll have better neuromuscular control throughout movement, and a safer base of support from the inside-out.
The Q-angle (quadriceps angle): the angle formed by drawing a line from your hip bone to the middle of your kneecap.
Females typically have a much higher Q-angle than males because we have a wider pelvis...because we carry the babies. Our hips and legs are designed to provide the most support. This also means our hips and legs need the utmost strength.
Men have wider shoulders. Their support and strength is mostly provided by their upper half. Not that women should not be strong in their upper half and men in the their lower half...but are you seeing the equal and opposite, perfect Divine Design here between the sexes?
Both sexes will need the foundational support of the DCPMS to function optimally, then isolated strength of sex-specifically favored muscle groups, then full body coordination. Divine isn't it?!
Lastly in our strength segment, I'd like to highlight "use it or lose it". This is especially true as we age. If you're not moving, muscles get weaker, and movement gets harder. Weak muscles make brittle bones and brittle bones lead to instability.
Truthfully, you can turn it around at any age. I've been coaching my 70 year old clients for over 4 years, and they are balancing, gripping, and moving better than ever. Because "motion is lotion."
