First of all, it'd be weird if that wasn't the case, right? If you're experiencing muscle imbalances, depending on the severity, you're going to notice, most likely, in almost every single exercise, there is a different response with how the right side ankle, knee, hip or shoulder move compared to the left side. And you're you might notice a difference in strength, the difference in contraction, you might notice a difference in where you feel the work and a difference in the endurance of those muscles being able to work. Here's the mindset and the strategy that I want you to develop with this program. Let's not try to match one side.

So for example, if one side is tighter, if one side is weaker, do we, I don't want you altering anything that you're doing, I want you to treat both sides the same. And as time goes on, notice how the weaker, tighter, stiffer less responsive side begins to catch up to the side that functions better. Here's what here's how I want you to think about this. Most imbalances come from both sides of the body not working well together. It's not just one, though your symptoms and problems can experience or express themselves more on one side than the other, it still takes both, okay, so we never have this perfectly functioning right side. And then a very dysfunctional left side, it's always a team of two, where one side takes over and becomes overactive and kind of hijacks the, the movement stress and low tension responsibility of what it takes to move your body as well as the other side simultaneously decreases its capacity to move. It's always both sides of the body, in balance and counterbalance with each other.

So why I don't want you to just focus on one side or have the other side match the weakness or the stretch is because you might have to do something different, you might hold your breath, you might force your body into more rotation to try to be even. But in reality, you're almost using imbalance to try to fix imbalance doesn't work. Do the exercises as simply as possible. Notice that significant difference between the right and left side. And over time, we are going to find that your body starts to find his homeostasis right in the middle, let's not do anything different.

Let's not hold the tighter side longer, let's not do more reps on the weaker side, let's try to take an even balanced approach. Because at the end of the day, both sides of the body need to be able to learn how to work together. And if you start treating one side different, you're now using imbalance to solve imbalance. And maybe you're one of the very, very small percentage of people that can be successful that I don't want to say that that's not successful.

Some people can be successful with that. But the chances are the vast majority of the population is going to just create more movement problems layer on top of the original foundational movement issue, they came here to solve for trust that your body wants to be balanced, it just needs a reason to be. And these routines and these exercises every single day are what is going to get you to the highest functioning most balanced state possible.

Just give it time.

Try not to consciously meddle with things based on what you can see, feel and perceive. The last thing I'll say because I want to give you a thorough answer is most of the times when we've got imbalances and movement problems, it's not really just the soft tissue, though the actual muscle length plays a role in it. It's also nervous system regulation.

So many of the times what people feel. If one side is tighter, one side is working harder, one side has a better capacity to move. That's not necessarily what's objectively true. It's just the position of their body, like one shoulder being higher than the other or more rounded than the other. That gives us false illusion that there's better function.

So another reason why I don't want you to make any alterations based on what you feel is because many of the times we've normalized sub optimal, we've normalized dysfunction. And we become so cutely focused on the wrong things. And they're not even the information that's giving us the proper feedback that we need because our body is in an altered state and an altered position. So we can't rely on information while we're in an altered state and function position.

I hope that makes sense. That could be a really lengthy answer, but I wanted to minimize that and shorten it as best as possible for you. Treat both sides the same and watch how they get better over time.
