I think there’s an interesting divide on the internet when it comes to cueing and form.
There are the folks who think over cueing or focusing too much on form is harmful. Then there’s the school that gets completely fixated on it.
I think I live somewhere in between.
Form is important. It can help us actually connect with the muscles we’re intending to work. And when it comes to hypermobility, that awareness can make a pretty massive difference. 😅
I would have given my left pinky toe 10 years ago for the information I know now about control, form and awareness training for my hypermobile body.
It has completely changed my relationship with exercise and how confident I feel.
Do flare ups still happen? Yeap.
And if you know hypermobile bodies, you probably already know that sometimes, they’re just going to happen.
But do I know how to manage them, often feel them coming and understand how to pivot my workout accordingly?
Also yeap.
It’s possible to strength train, run, garden, hike, or whatever else you want to do with more understanding and trust in your body.
Cueing, form, control and awareness can help us understand what’s going on underneath the exercise.
They can provide a bridge between simply doing the movement and actually understanding what we’re feeling.
And that’s some powerful stuff.
