from Mindfulness, Movement, and Exercise · host Jenn Pilotti

Before you can use your hands strategically on a pull-up bar, rope, or pole, you need to wake them up.This simple 5-minute exploration activates the 17,000 touch receptors in your palms and helps you develop a clearer felt sense of what your hands are actually doing when you move.You’ll explore:* Creating energy and awareness in your hands through friction and movement* Sensing the outer edges of your hands (pinky side and thumb side) against the floor* How your fingers interlace and rotate* Peeling your hands off the ground with intention and controlThis isn’t just a warm-up—it’s sensory training that builds the foundation for better movement on the ground and in the air. When you can feel your hands more clearly, you can use them more effectively.All you need is yourself and the floor. Part 2 will take these concepts to the pull-up bar.Start here, feel the difference. This is a public episode.
