Capoeira Fitness Tip of the Week

This feature is designed to give you functional training tools for your off days when you are not training capoeira. We will be looking at various exercises that we will have as resources for you to devise a strategy for your overall physical development as a capoeirista.

The goals are:

Overall Physical Health

Promoting Longevity

Improved Performance in your capoeira training and game

This week we look at feeling good during the most dangerous part of our day... sitting at our work desk.  While it can be productive, sitting at work is also very challenging for the body.  With poor posture our lower backs become weak, our hamstrings become shorter and tighter, our hips get tense, and our breathing is compressed which means less oxygen tour body.

This video gives you some great tools for a truly refreshing and quick break while at work.

Enjoy!
