I have a very awkward body and horrible motor skills (especially hand eye coordination and reaction time) so thank you for sharing this!

If I got into all of the contributing factors for my poor balance and hand eye coordination this comment would be the length of a novella so the truncated version is that my proprioception is damn near nonexistent, I have unstable joints and connective tissue disorders that combined with a decade of manual labor absolutely tore my body apart, and an eye condition where one is slightly higher than the other that has affected my gait and everything else my whole life until I got prism lenses just this year to fix it. So now on top of the struggles I’ve always had with balance and coordination, I’m now essentially retraining my brain and body to adjust to working with properly aligned vision for the first time in my life. I can’t access physical therapy right now so I make do with what I learned when I did have some, and learning about anatomy and exercises from places like this channel. But even the beginner level exercises are a challenge because I can’t get any sense of how my form is, and I’m always feeling like I’m about to fall over. So this video is an absolute godsend. I don’t expect any one thing to fix my problems. After this long I’ve learned there’s no such thing as a quick fix for an interconnected system. But techniques for improving my balance and coordination, some idea of where to even start retraining my brain and body to the change in visual input, is just what I needed. My body is too weak and unstable to do the parts of this routine that involve hopping yet, but I’m gonna start slow. My arms are weak so even just holding my thumb out and doing that eye tracking thing while stationary will be plenty for the first couple weeks, while I work on other exercises to strengthen my legs and get a little more confident in them so I don’t tense and hesitate anticipating ankle or knee pain and throw myself off. Even when i can’t do almost any of the exercises in your videos yet, because of your explanation of how and why they work, I always walk away with an understanding of what the most gentle, entry level version of it I can do while I work my way up to being able to do the rest safely. Thank you for making these, and for how thorough they are. Oftentimes the exercises themselves are far too advanced for me to attempt in my current physical state, but even then I get so much value out of the anatomy-focused portions of the videos. The more I understand about the structures I’m working with the easier it is to visualize and finally train myself to activate the right muscles. Your explanations about the deep muscles in the spine have been especially helpful. You guys rock. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Very useful. Table tennis player here and manual therapist (canadian osteopath). Makes a lot of sense to me.

Hey!! Thank you so much! I was watching the back pain podcast, where is the video that can teach me how to stack my spine correctly when sitting? I can't find it 😊👍

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

My friend, search "back pain" on my channel and I'm sure you'll find it ;-)

Please do a video on Morton's Neuroma.

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Great suggestion!

[@ginny177]

04:30 am I holding a gaze on one point? or it is not important? thank you

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

It is not important :)

[@margaretmcquiggan3056]

Interesting drill. Why no breathing during the movement?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

As I mention at ~6:44 the breath holding increases the stress response of the brain during the drill. This is functional if you need improved balance & hand-eye coordination during higher intensity bouts of physical activity. Definitely work your way up to that.

[@ginny177]

May I do these head movements much more slower?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Yup!

[@fingerscrossed2317]

Awesome, a sort of Thai chi but more modern i think ?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

What makes you say that? I have some familiarity of Tai Chi but from my point of view I don't see the link.

[@demanso1]

Tai chi because he's Asian? Tai chi has nothing to do with this video.

@la lala - love you long time, thanks

So you only do the right leg hops?

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

No

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thanks for the clarification.

[@patriciavarga4204]

I think it’s really cool. Not ready for it but its a challenge and who doesn’t like a challenge in the group? Ty!

[@PrecisionMovementCoach]

Exactly - peeps here are always looking for a new challenge and not just another 100 burpees ;-)
