Gran Battement means "Big Kick." This exercise requires momentum to get the leg high in the air. You also need strong quads and flexible hamstrings for maximum extension and core stability to maintain control and balance. Your leg muscles are large and heavy and it takes a tremendous amount of endurance and power to kick them up and down repeatedly.
It is Day 22 of our challenge and it has taken a tremendous amount of endurance and power to reach this point in the journey. Acknowledge how far you have come and embrace your success. This week's focus is on "Taking Charge."
When you fall short of your expectations, do you tend to point the finger at external factors for your failures? Do you throw yourself into life without first gaining the proper strength and flexibility to direct the momentum of your energy?
Or, are you open to accepting personal responsibility? Are you patient, disciplined and willing to learn the necessary skills to be successful?
After 22 days of committing to your health, you are probably beginning to feel subtle changes taking place in your body, mind and spirit.
However, the first step to gaining real control over your momentum, without running off the tracks, is to become introspective. It is important to go within and ask the hard questions. Who are you trying to please? Why are you doing this? Who is calling you out? Is it your ego or your true nature? Do you want health and vitality in your life because you want to "look good" or, do you truly want to be healthy? Or both? And why are you challenging yourself? Why is this time going to be different than the last time you tried getting into shape, losing weight or eating healthy?
Taking Charge of your life begins with you. Your will is at the ready and it can be a powerful tool. However, just like a big muscle, willpower takes a tremendous amount of energy to control. Forcing it to bend to your intentions can often lead to losing control. Understand that transformation is a process. You have to learn to align your truth within the context of your life; your believes and your purpose.
