Daily schedule

[KaliMa]

Hello Everyone,

I have question for Bjorn and Ryo. Could you tell us what a daily schedule for yourselves would like when using the techniques on this site? What I mean is something that shows how and when you incorporate the exercises, breathing techniques, etc into your daily schedule.

An example would be:

Morning after waking up - Kyphosis fixer for PE 3.0 (3 sets of 10), then deep breathing.

Afternoon - Sternum lifter 2.0 (3 sets of 10), push ups (3 sets of 5)

Evening before bed - push ups (3 sets of 5), etc

There is a lot of great information on this site, but I'd like to know how you incorporate it into your daily routine.

Also, when I perform horizontal push ups I like to take a deep breath and hold it while doing the push ups for around 2 or 3 reps in order to build inter-thoracic pressure. I wonder if you have ever done this. I believe it helps.

I don't have a regular schedule. My approach is do as much as you can whenever you can. Experiment with what works best for you and keep doing it. That's it.

As long as you're doing something then you are progressing, and that's all that matters. Even if all you did was remove the pillow from your bed and slept on your back the entire time you'd still drastically improve your condition. When I lay down without a pillow my PE rises by about 3mm. Do that for 8 hours a day and you're bound to notice an improvement.

Hi, I don't think that it is necessary simply because exercises is such a small part of the whole thing. I think it is better to listen to the body and do what is right at the moment or you can create a schedule that works for you. For me, it works best in general to do exercises in the afternoon or evening (let the body slowly wake up in the morning). I think you have to find a way which suits you personally. Everyone works a little different I suppose.

Reply to the thoracic pressure question: When I do incline-push-ups I sometimes take a deep breath out and hold it. Exhale (not inhale) have always worked better at least for me. The reason to do it is because when you exhale powerfully the diaphragm moves upwards towards the sternum and therefore pushes it out. I recommend to check out my exhale-exercise on my blog. You will see your sternum move out in the mirror while performing it.
