Bill demonstrates the Infinity Walk, a figure-8 farmer's walk around two barriers that engages your vestibular system through peripheral vision and neck coordination. The movement claims to improve balance, posture, strength, and flexibility using just two obstacles and optional weights.
Hi, I'm Bill from beyondfitnessonline.com, and today I want to show you an exercise called the infinity walk. Now, the infinity walk is a variation of the farmer's walk. However, when we do it this way, it forces you to use a lot of your other senses to help you do it correctly. What do I mean by that? Well, it helps you to use your peripheral vision so that you can see what's going on around you, and that also helps to lower stress. It helps you to move your neck, your spine, and your, your eyes while you're moving around the targets, and that is really good to help stimulate your vestibular system. Now, a lot of people in these 2 areas are very, very weak and neglect them when they're actually doing their standard exercises and their standard weightlifting. So this exercise should help with those things. You'll— you should notice a difference in your strength, your flexibility, and your overall feeling of how you're able to control your body. Now, take it one step further, and this exercise can also be beneficial if you've ever experienced any kind of vertigo, because it really starts to stimulate all parts of the vestibular system and the reflexes that come with it. So I'm going to show you that exercise right here, and let me know what you think. So for this exercise, you're going to need 3 things: 2 barriers to walk around that can be short or tall, tall being easier, and you're going to need a visual target. In this case, I'll be using my camera. Now from there, if you want to use weights, you can to really add to the exercise, and you're going to start by walking toward the camera around the first barrier. You're going to proceed in a figure-8 fashion while maintaining your posture and keeping your eyes on your visual target the entire time. This forces your eyes and your head and your spine to all work together with your vestibular system to keep you moving around your targets. It also forces you to use your peripheral vision to see the targets so that you don't run into them. Additional note, make sure you use targets that will move if you kick them so that you don't hurt your foot. Begin by doing three to five passes through the two obstacles. I hope you found that exercise helpful. Let me know in the comments below how it went. If you haven't already, please don't forget to subscribe to my channel.
