    I can't lift myself at all like this. I can't flex the muscles in my left side not feel them due to a brain injury. Nor a muscle in my left thigh and upper arm. I'm wondering if it's because of that, though I'm having problems on both sides. Like I'm trying to signal with my brain to lift, but nothing happens. I don't know if it's because my muscles aren't strong enough or I should just give up on trying.

      @warmlavender5525 3 роки тому +18

      Not your fault at all it’s definitely just a strength thing. Once you build up your obliques and arms more you’ll shake less. Especially if you don’t use those muscles a lot, shaking is pretty normal.

    Is a basic plank split the work your muscle has to to on each side but side plank has no split so double the work on your muscles.

    • @zeusdarkgod7727
      @zeusdarkgod7727 3 роки тому +1

      You may be overly thrusting your pelvis out, i would recommend doing both sides on the knees for now and build up to the more advanced as you don't want to build more muscle on one side than the other (creating an imbalance in your body can lead to future issues) and it can help you figure out what the problem is.

    Bless her soul. She's very young. Where are all the mature seasoned yogi's? Mostly, yoga seems to have been taken over by young fit woman. So, I guess, my concern with most Fitness professionals is they've no clinical therapeutic body working experience or working knowledge of anatomy as it pertains to treating injuries or working from weakness. My experience as a Clinical Bodyworke and Yogir is Some have wrist injuries or weakness even loss of cartilage in the wrist or shoulder preventing them from "stacking". In this case, I recommend the standing hand be used like in Down Dog, the weight goes on the Pads of the hands. Not "stacked" to their detriment. Slavish obedience to doctrines are often misinterpreted and\or anal retained. Understanding people have different natural strengths and weakness, muscularly and skeletal, I feel it's often inappropriate, unsafe, discouraging and dangerous to state there's only 1 way that is correct. That's simply not true but give props to this young lady for putting yoga and herself out there.
