How strange , i watched you thinking this must be really hard. So i just stood up, got into position and did it with you and honestly it was really easy!! Im 60 years old but do yoga and wonder if its because for many years ive held awkward Kundalini yoga positions for 11 - 62 mins, which is incredibly challenging . So im wondering why , with all your training , you feel this is quite hard? I feel great that this old lady finds it easy! Im blown away.
It will depend on a variety factors. The soft surface affects the balancing aspect a lot, and whether you do this fresh or after an exhausting workout. Yoga and qigong definitely help here and can make this easy. How active the stance is also makes a difference. Great job and glad you gave the challenge a try!
Yoga is a strenght too , I used to do this stance in the past as well , more of a bridge from exercise to exercise and now this stance for me becomes more of a natural position as well.
@@Vahvafitness i live remotely on amountain in Argentina where ive built an off grid healing centre and home on my own . So this life style, of itself keeps mr very strong and resilient. Thank you so much for relplying, i love your channel and admire and respect you all. I want being critical at all, i was just honestly suprised how easy it was for me. Some of your other practces , im sure, would be difficult for me to maintain.
@@Shunyia I also found it pretty doable, not super easy as I felt some burn in my calves arising but also not super hard. Maybe it's because I dance tango where I have to use a lot of single-leg balance positions for pivots.
@@angelsjoker8190 Definately , its the Tango, me too i love it and i live in Argentina , i find Tango is indeed like practicing a martial art.
That's great man. We are practising this kinds of Static posture in Martial Arts. I used to add a small Bowl filled with water, then stand like this. Isometric is the source of my power for all time.
In tai chi class we had to do a similar posture, but the leg got held out straight in front fully extended flexing the toes back towards the knee. Holding the leg extended makes this even harder. It’s all good stuff
*Thank you* for the motivation to do this. Watching you do animal movements, and then this, I was feeling guilty that I hadn't moved enough today -- just shoveled a lot of snow. It felt really good to challenge myself, in this way. 👊
My comment is going to be a little like Shunyia's below... except that I'm not going to pretend that it was easy, or that anyone would not find this challenging. (I have a very soft surface, and it did make things harder, in one way -- ankle probably had to work more. I did let out a low scream, at the end.) I'm 65, have been teaching yoga for about 30 yrs., and was able to do side one for the full three mins. (I stopped to write this, and give myself a break -- because the bad news is that, now, I have to do side 2!) I *definitely* relied on my yoga training and experience for this. For me, the key is focusing on the following:
*Breathing*
*Relaxing*
*Feeling*
*Watching*
*Allowing*
It's a "formula' for remaining deeply present, and it truly helps.
Okay, enough stalling... on to side 2!
UPDATE: Side two done! Another little yell of relief at the end. Felt stronger on this side, for whatever reason... maybe because I knew what was coming, this time.
Awesome Episode 🥊
Thanks, I like this one! You remind me of Alexander Gustafsson which is awesome.
Can’t wait to give this a try!! Thanks!!
I love your 1:30 or 3 minutes chalenges, it s always a good test please keep doing it :D
Good job thank you my freind 👍👍👍🙏🙏
Very good. Thanks!
Thought there doesnt exist the kind of training you guys do so fun to find you. After recent injuries had to kinda find these things myself. Compound exercises are great, even more so if taken from different 'sports'. tried on my last leg day 3 sets of horse stance + leg press that was something else so could try this one combined with kettlebell hip flexor raises or something.
Holding (Qiqong, Tai Chi) stances is a art and experience by itself and I highly recommend trying those out. Hard to say if they even train more the body than the mind. Anyways do some in the morning straight after you wake up and you will feel energized for the whole day like never before,
Damn this was good. It hit my weak spots really well. I'm adding this to strength training days and even warm up routine. I believe this will make me a better runner :)
Very cool. Barefoot/ minimal runner and calisthenics, 50 yo. Could do it without any problem. My 12 yo son tried and did it too. Very interesting exercise and insights here, thanks.
wow! it's a devil exercise thanks ! I did ! :)
hi there, many years ago we used to train the hole "little idea of Wing Chung the siu nim tao" on one feet...3 minutes is a long time for beginners i think... but why not and this def seems to be diffrnt.
Superbe
I liked the 90second isometric challenges you were doing a while ago. I'll add this to the list. There is some stillness exercises on Athlete 20xx as well.
Nice, good luck!
What to do if I can only make it like 10 seconds? Count everything together to make it 3 minutes?
3-minutes is just a "standard" or a goal here. You can do that 10 seconds for as many sets you like (or more likely as many as you CAN). Next time add some more time if you can and you will gradually get to hold 3 minutes at once. Good luck there! :)
