 How do you stand properly? What's the perfect stance? Alan Aaron Alexander is about to show us how. So how do we do the perfect standing stance? Alright we're going to break down. So starting off we're going to do bullet points. That's probably what's the most effective way to do this, right? We're going to start off. Am I going to be the standard or are you the standard? You're going to stand. I'm the standard. This is so much pressure. Alright so the first thing that we want to be thinking about is the location of our feet. Okay so looking at our body as though we were architectural design, we were building a building. We want to make sure that our feet are underneath our body. A lot of people, the tendency, if we zoom down on the feet for a second, the tendency for people is going to be out in this position, right? And so if I put that weight on myself, the likelihood is I drop into this valgus knee and collapse my arches. So I'm going to bring my feet just a little bit closer, just underneath these sit bones, right? And from here, something you can play with is you can create a little bit of external rotation in the knees to engage the glutes. By engaging those glutes, it stabilizes the lumbar spine, stabilizes the sacrum. And then the big thing that most people in our culture end up doing is to lead with our lumbar spine to pull our shoulders down. That ends up destabilizing that lead in disc rotations. So what we're going to do is just literally allow ourselves, instead of being this upright military position, we're going to kind of slouch just a little bit. But not too much, right? Not too much, but not too little. So we want to get in a position that we allow this section, through our midsection here, to not be blown out that direction. So if we just start to stack this, engage the glutes a little bit, you'll feel that start to balance from your pelvic floor to your respiratory diaphragm. I've seen some guys who try to do this, they put their chest out and they've got an arch in their back, right? And they're like, yeah, I'm the man, big chest out, but that's wrong, right? That's too much. It's not wrong to write, it's just the destination that you want to arrive at. That's a disc herniation destination, right? So what we need to do is we need to figure out how do we open up through our shoulder girdle, open up through all this peck, this chest stuff, so that we can actually naturally relax our shoulders down into their sides, as opposed to borrowing from the lumbar spine to get our shoulders back. If you can fix that, the big thing is gluteal disengagement, gluteal amnesia, you're asked for God. Okay, give me, you take the camera and film me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm filming myself here, aren't I? Oh, I got to flip the thing. Oh, so I just have to hope that I'm getting you. So just so I'm clear here, this is wrong. This is wrong? That is wrong. This is wrong? That is wrong. This is wrong? That's properly right. Bring the feet a little bit closer together even, just to make it easier. It's not like it's going to... That's the second time you've pulled me up on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Move them closer, especially if you're going to spend any amount of time in that position, because you want to make it as easy for yourself as possible. Right? To just make it taller. This makes you taller as well. Yeah, that's a big thing. So in the actual fact, you don't want to be standing like this anymore, you actually want to have your feet together, and then... That looks really bright? That looks beautiful. I'm going to walk a little bit. I'm going to walk a little bit. I'm going to walk a little bit now. I'm going to walk a little bit now. That actually does it better. Good. I could just look at myself. Yeah, that's it. Use mirrors. Yeah, use mirrors. Take pictures of yourself. Beautiful stance, James. Well, that's something that a lot of people don't get. We don't get feedback from ourselves, right? So this is it. That's it, you're in. You're dropped in. Thank you, Aaron. So there you go.
