Are you balanced? Top to bottom? Side to side? Front to back? For most of us, the answer is no. We all have postural imbalances that we must constantly battle to correct. So what is the best way to do this?
Let's start by finding the literal center of your body. To be centered means that bodily awareness is concentrated in the center of the abdomen rather than say the head or deltoids, and all movement comes from this center. The point to remember here is that to be psychologically balanced and centered depends to a great extent on being physically balanced and centered.
For most of us top-heavy individuals, something as simple as focusing our attention on the abdomen can bring incredible results. To improve your balance, imagine a bright red ball that is the size of the grapefruit two inches under your navel. Every time you breathe out, imagine the ball getting smaller and your navel going in toward your spine. Every time you inhale imagine the ball swelling. This will make you much more aware of all of your core muscles.
HOW TO PROVE IT:
Stand how you normally would and draw your attention to the top of your body by tapping yourself a couple times on your forehead. Then have your friend push you from behind at the shoulder blades just hard enough to make your loose your balance and take a step forward.
Next, Stand exactly the same way and draw your attention to your center by tapping yourself a couple of times below the navel where you would imagine the red ball. Then have your friend push you with the exact same force as before. Most of you will notice that you are more stable.
My Favorite Recipe:
FRESH HERB BISON BURGER
1 lb. Ground Buffalo Meat
1 Egg
¼ Fresh Chopped Basil
1 Tablespoon Fresh Chopped Parsley
1 Clove Minced Garlic
Fresh Cracked Pepper to Taste
Low Sodium Seasoning Salt
4 Multigrain Hamburger Bun
In large mixing ball combine all of the above ingredients. By hand form 4 equal sized patties. Preheat a large greased skillet or stove top grill pan cook patties for 4 minutes per side or until center is no longer pink. Serve on multigrain bun with lettuce, tomato and the toppings of your choice. Enjoy!

3. Touch upon all of the arts.
4. Know the ways of all occupations.
5. Know the advantages and disadvantages of everything.
6. Develop a discerning eye in all matters.

THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS
I just got back from an amazing trip! During my down time I was fortunate to read THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS, and I found this passage as inspirational words to live by.
The trip was jam packed with fun and exciting experiences! I enjoyed some amazing food and wine after dieting to 3% body fat for the photo shoots. I shot with many top photographers and should have all new covers and images to share with you guys soon! In the meantime get your copy of the 2011 ICON MEN wall calendar where I am featured on the cover and throughout the year!
In Strength,
Justin Woltering
