Surprisingly, for the first time, I tried doing all the exercises and I succeeded in doing all except two. Ofcourse not for 40 seconds. !! Anyway, good exercises to improve our leg muscles. Ha...I liked the exercise in which objects are kept in three directions and picking them up. Very nice. !! 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏
Am doing good! Ty for asking. Hope the same with you.. You might find this useful : ua-cam.com/video/SerNBEMvh4M/v-deo.html Let me know how you like it! :) Also, a video pertaining to araimandi is coming soon. Stay tuned!
Will definitely do.. Stay tuned for the videos. I post them every Saturday at 7 pm :) Also let me know if you are looking for anything in specific.. I will try and make a video for it..
Thanks much, Hari! Glad you liked them..sometimes workout gets monotonous :D Yes, as mentioned in the description, they help to prevent the arches from tilting.. :)
This is question is meant for @pratibha kini .... I have this problem where the kuditta metta adavu for my feet cant go higher because I tend to fall and my feet shake..and when I try to do third speed my feet just like give up ...not in pain but automatically..so how can I master this adavu ..when I usually tend to fall and how do I hold the adavu pose longer?..I tried this exercises it helped but I couldn't hold my heels to go really up..
This is not something you achieve in a day. It requires practice. You need to be patient and strengthen your legs ua-cam.com/video/SerNBEMvh4M/v-deo.html Get better with balance ua-cam.com/video/ReUfQ1Fb5Ag/v-deo.html Learn to hold the core while you do the adavu ua-cam.com/video/WF1qS589fvc/v-deo.html Strengthen your ankles ua-cam.com/video/4tB9i5-Gs48/v-deo.html
@@lifeshard9784 It is normal to not be able to balance, to have shaky feet, to feel like giving up.. I have been doing it for 22 years and I am nowhere near perfection. All we can do is train and practice. Don't lose hope, keep at it! You will eventually get better :)
Loved the video . Tying all exercises. I am filled with energy after seeing your video God bless yoy. I will appreciate if you just show that bharatnatyam pasture also for which this exercise is required.
Thank you. Have noted your suggestion :) More often that not there will not be a 1:1 mapping between an adavu and an exercise. It is the whole routine which helps you get fitter and stronger to perform particular adavu/item. Also in this video, as the name suggests, it definitely helps with kuditu mettu/kudittu tattu.
Innovative prath! Ankle is indeed given least importance during leg workout How beautifully u've incorporated a fun factor in this routine! Enjoyed the ankle Alphabets😄
Oh my.... you make me dance and sweat every week !!! Just when I thought this one is about dancing and not meant for me.... No !!! This is helpful for everyone. Knee rotation is for start, Kudittu Shuffle... Even me trying that 😁 !!! Plie Squat with Heel raise had my thighs temble, Single ankle hops made me jump... rememberd jubli game when we wire children, Heal raise in aramandi I can really feel the inner thigh muscles strain, I let go of Single ankle roll to toes and ankle roll to squat. ( I have made a conscious decision few years back that I shall not bend the knees to extreme position to avoid injury at my age), Single leg object drop made me dance. Ankle alphabet is fun. Ah... Smile... It increases your face value 😊😊😊
Thanks again for trying these out! Very very good decision in not over straining the knees.. It is very important to respect the body. There are many things which our body can currently do. Smartness lies in not doing it keeping in mind the future consequences :)
Bhavaji, every time you give very valuable inputs. I think Pratibha has to be more vigilant now ! 😂. I love your in depth study of the exercises and its effects. Great. For All dancers....... you have a person here, who is not so young, doing all the exercises taught by Pratibha and commenting in detail. Is it not really good for everyone to EMULATE ??? 🙏🙏🙏
Well said! Pratibha has to be vigilant regardless :) I too love his spirit, his support and the will to keep himself fit! Age is just a number they say, he proves it :) Inspiration all around! :)
@@prakashkini194Bhavaji. It's mutual. Pratibha's channel is helping me to keep fit. So I try out all the exercises which are doable by me and I report what I feel.
Wowww akka,,, When I had a look at it, it seemed very exhausting but then when I tried it that was super easy,,, I just love all your exercise and try to add them in my daily workout plan
Thank you ma'am 🙏 you videos are really helpful. I lack in neck movements so can you please help me with the exercises to be done to improve that. It would be very kind of you.
Wow... good no of interesting exercises for the dancers to improve the endurance and control of their ankle. It's essential that dancers spend time doing foot exercises to develop footwork technically and artistically.
Recently I started kuddita Mettaadavu,my knee muscle is paining so hard...plz suggest me solution, where I am going wrong...I am 32 n recently started to learn Bharatnatyam
Maam tq very much fr these excercises... Well ive jus started learning kuchipudi.. Therez a step which involves squatting and immediately getting up on toes and am unable to do it while getting up am either falling down or am bending forward... Is it normal fr a beginner to not be able to balance and get up gracefully or am i not able to do it? I hope your exercises would help me with this problem! Tia
It could be due to many reasons and is difficult to predict the cause from what u described. If it's a recurring pain, pls visit a physio or an ortho depending on the kind of pain.
I'm shona juliiet who had been corresponding with u for some time abt the exercises. I was following ur videos diligently and cos of that I had a lot of doubts. U cleared them and wen I asked a very imp question abt the knee pain and that my Dr advised to rest but doing ur exercises its nt increasing, so it must be okay to continue, u left out cold. If it's cos u wer busy it's OK. But if it's cos I've been asking too many questions it's very bad. Cos I follow u thats y so many doubts. And I do have some experience in working out so I'll have more doubts. Anyway I'm still doing ur exercises but u disappointed me greatly. Sorry to say this.
Hi Shona! I didn't understand what you meant by "I left out cold". If your doctor has advised you not to exercise, it is better you listen to him because he definitely knows about your condition better than me. I do not know which comment you are talking about. I did not mean to offend anyone, in case it offended you :) Doubts are always welcome. I try to give a solution to the best of my knowledge. I don't advice when it is not my field of expertise. Sorry to know it disappointed you. Let me know how I could help.Ty for watching the video :)
@@PratibhaKini thank you for your reply. What I meant by left out cold is that after I asked you that question, you didn't reply anything. I'll send u the screen shot if you want.
I have about 25 videos on this channel and a couple of comments..It is possible that I did not get the notification, Shona :) If you tell me exactly which video I will reply right away..
