Mum Mum Exercise with Shoulder Roll
Next, we're going to do the mum mum exercise with the shoulder roll and movement of the head.
Tips for Success
- Keep Relaxed: Try to keep everything as relaxed as possible as you do this exercise.
- Find Relaxation: The key here is to find relaxation in your upper body.
- Notice Stiffness: Try to notice any points where your body might stiffen, as it might get harder to keep the movement going.
- Revisit Stiff Spots: Make sure to revisit those spots in future days.
Exercise Instructions
Let's begin:
"Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma mama ma ma ma ma."
- Make sure to put a little cry on it.
- Keep your head nice and loose.
- Maintain looseness in the shoulders.
Key Takeaway
The key here is freedom. We don't worry about how it sounds, at least not just yet.
Conclusion
Good work! That completes this module.
- Make sure to do this exercise three to four times a day for the next four days.
- Come back on day five!
