Basic exercises for assertiveness
Exercises: Side kick and Arm press
Training type: Cardio Training
Element: Fire
Chakra: Solar Plexus Chakra Activation
Subtle body: Energetic Body
Requirements
Side kick is a challenging exercise, but Arm press is easy and playful. They are both energetic movements, and you need to be mobile to perform them properly. You can do them anywhere you have space. Both are low-impact exercises, and your joints will be okay.
Outcome physical
Side kick and Arm press are two high energetic exercises. They require a lot of energy because you have to bring your feet high and coordinate movements, which require attention and energy. The body burns many calories when you give power to the exercises. If you do them regularly, you can increase your power and vitality.
Outcome spiritual:
These two exercises have a significant impact on your subtle energy system. The energetic body gets charged up with fast movements, and you will feel this energy immediately. They are also great for solar plexus chakra activation because they work energetically in the upper stomach area. They have an enormous impact on your personality! After some time, you will feel assertive and powerful in many ways.
