Your Results:
You are The Neutral One!
Great! You have a good balance of strength and mobility.
You may still have a slight muscle imbalance in your body but it may be only slight.
Your aim is to maintain this nice balance of strength and mobility within your body.
Being neutral means that your muscular body is fairly balanced.
You are equally strong and mobile throughout.

What’s really happening in YOUR body?
We lose mobility when we gain too much strength in certain muscles. Likewise, lack of strength leads to too much mobility and shows up eventually as hyper-mobile / hyper-flexible.
As we age, both extremes eventually lead to injuries. As well as unexplained aches and pains, showing up throughout the body.
Either one of these is known as muscle imbalance.
Understanding the weaker muscles you need to strengthen against stretching the tighter muscles will give you the knowledge to maintain a good balance of strength, whilst maintaining your mobility and flexibility.
You may find that some of the below statements ring true to your body type. If not their may be some slight imbalances showing up. Having greater awareness of your body can help you spot future muscle imbalances within your body. Yoga provides us with the ability and knowledge to gain this greater understanding and better connection with our bodies.
Flexible and strong?
To be neutral you should be able to raise straight arms over your head, with the upper arms coming in line with your ears, or just slightly behind. Aim to be strong enough to hold a handstand for 5 seconds. Even if it’s against a wall!
Hip extreme?
Aim to sit comfortably cross-legged on the floor. Knees not too high and not too low.
Too flexible in the hips and there’s a risk we’re using our pelvis to do the work rather than the hip muscles themselves. Too tight and strong in the hips lead to less mobility and flexibility restricting our movements.
Back pain
Most people experience back pain at some point in their lives. Understanding where it’s coming from is crucial in fixing the problem.
You may get lower back ache or pain from being seated for long periods of time, which typically stems from overly tight hamstrings. Likewise, lower back pain from standing all day can be due to a very strong lower back taking all the pressure. Core strengthening can alleviate this.

Why Does Strength Solve More Than You Think?
Left to your body’s own devices, and usually as we age, muscle imbalance only worsens and can eventually cause excruciating lower back pain, which also typically shows up with painful issues in the knees, hips and feet.
It can also extend upwards towards the shoulders and neck, showing up as poor posture and tension.
Poor posture also makes us look older than we actually are and limits what we can do in life!

“I really didn’t think I would be able to improve anything much at my age and it was a case of use it or lose it.
But I have definitely benefitted from this regular core work; better posture, stronger walking and cycling which come from the core now not the back, so endurance is better.
I can get up from the floor, no-hands too!
That’s a real test later in life."

"I can now switch on core muscles when cycling, hill walking and swimming and consequently any back pain episodes are negligible and short-lived. My neck and back muscles are stronger which helps counter hours at the keyboard and gives me more confidence in my posture."

"I was sceptical that just 15 minutes a day would get me working hard enough to feel a benefit, but judging by how sore I am after day 4, it really is!! Love that I can easily squeeze these in first thing before the school run and a day at the desk. It defo starts you off for the day!"

"Strength for Life has been little short of life changing for me! Since I started doing them daily just over a year ago lots of the niggling issues I was experiencing from trail running and triathlon training have disappeared. A little everyday, really goes a long way."

“I can definitely see the difference. I’m stronger, I’m building muscle - it’s an all-round transformation in my arms, my legs, my tummy… and best of all, I’m not getting as much back pain as I used to. "
