O.K. Just stand there. What keeps you standing? Leg muscles? The way our bodies are built? Actually, it's your brain. A certain percentage of our brain is devoted to keeping our posture. Any guess how much?
There's the old saying we only use 10% of our brain. While not wanting to get into that argument, science has proven that 90% of our brain is used to keep us in dynamic balance. Ninety percent devoted to posture. I guess the Surgism that 'setup determines the swing' may have just taken on a new meaning for you.
We've had some really great conversations going on the blog lately about everything from width of stance to getting into the correct posture, the 'accordion effect,' as I call it. In this video I emphasize that when I give a suggestion on where your feet should be or how much to bend your knees, it will be pretty much the same for everyone, but everyone is slightly different. That's where your brain comes in, you individuality. Increasing or decreasing the positions I talk about so they fit your setup is just fine. Let the 90% go to work for you.
Keep it vertical,
The Surge!
