Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy-whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy-is able to do work.s already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
A towel stretch is an effective way to stretch your psoas muscle. You can use a regular bath towel or a strap that's roughly the same length. To do the stretch, lie close to the edge of your bed on your stomach. Plant your outside foot on the floor and bend your other leg.
The Psoas Muscles. The PSOAS (pronounced so-as) are the deep core muscles that link the upper and lower girdles of the body. They lie below the surface muscles of the body and are the missing-link riders must learn to use in order to feel their horsesâ movement and to follow the directions of their riding instructors.y mastering the use of these muscles, riders will be able to develop self-carriage and have independent seats. Riding instructors use their psoas muscles when they ride, but most do not consciously know what specific muscles they are using.
