bodyART with Janni Giannikakis
Janni introduces BAX , the energetic extension of bodyART training that combines athletic deep connective tissue strengthening with myofascial release . The two exercises work to both strengthen and open the frontal fascial line , and strengthen and extend the back fascial line . The sequences are built layering levels of intensity and complexity , allowing a gradual build-up of heat and release . Each can be extended to 2 minutes to increase training and endurance . Sequence one is dynamic , combining plank position , chest opener and alternate leg jumps , while sequence two involves strength , control and sustained balance . Pay attention to breath , alignment and positioning to enhance the lengthening and release of the fascia . Follow bodyARTAustralia on Facebook or email mrcsirwin @ gmail . com
