Chapter 17 Weekly Exercise Routines Having worked our way through the body, from the toes all the way to the crown of the head, I will now give you some suggestions on how to create a daily workout for yourself. Remember, by far the best way to make progress is by practising Bioenergetics frequently over a good length of time. It’s quite common to get big releases when you start, but you must also be prepared to embark on a slow, steady and thorough journey with Bioenergetics. There are no quick fixes here. Here’s a suggested itinerary for 12 weeks. Each week has a different exercise routine and most last around 30 minutes. You should complete each exercise at least 7 times, on separate days, before moving on to the next. Remember, the primary mistake most new practitioners of Bioenergetics make is that they over-focus on the posture and under-focus on breathing and feeling. Yes, you need to maintain the posture, but this is only one of the three elements of Bioenergetics. While keeping the posture correct, you must also breathe deeply through the mouth, in and out, and keep feeling your body. For sure, you will forget at times. But, when that happens, just come back to breathing and feeling.
