I'm 42 yrs old and have been training for over 20 years now. My body can't get away with half the things it once could anymore. Your channel is definitely keeping my physical health and safety in check. Thank you for all the great content!
Thank you so much! I turned 40 back in February and about 2 months ago I wanted to challenge myself to get healthier. Not only with my diet (I’ve really screwed myself with yo-yo dieting in the last five years and now I have to finger out a way to raise my caloric intake without gaining too much weight) but also getting stronger. I started a full body 28 day challenge that included intense ab workouts and then moved to my TRX. Throughout the challenge I was dealing with some lower back pain but once I incorporated my TRX, especially on back and biceps day my lower back pain got downright uncomfortable. I’m obviously no expert at this but I think I’m gonna give your video a try for the next few weeks and maybe do some less intense exercises on my AeroPilates rebounder. I don’t want to stop exercising and lose all my progress, it feels so good to be stronger. If I could only get rid of this lower back pain I think I would feel like I was in my 20s again. 😊
Another amazing clip that captures movements that significantly help older folk before workouts. Older athletes are guilty of rushing into their training sessions and forgetting about how their bodies are different than when they were younger. Happy to view any Redefining Strength videos on this issue. Thank you for being there for us oldies :)
Another awesome video, Cori! I just want to say thank you and let you know how much I’m enjoying this different format you’ve been doing the past few months where you do a smaller set of exercise & demonstrate/talk through them. You are such a wealth of knowledge & I love that you’ve honed in on this more (at least it seems to me) in your recent videos. You are a great teacher & I’m getting so much out of them. Thanks again!
I’m glad I found your channel during lockdown! I was in PT when COVID began and had to find stretches and exercises to continue on with my lower back, hip and knee pain. Your channel has been so helpful to me. Thank you.
Liz Yu I agree. Her World’s Greatest Stretch video helped to alleviate my leg, knee and ankle pain from an out of whack SI joint while not being able to get to the chiropractor.
I could watch you all day. I have had over a decade of debilitating back pain after a decade of working out with functional movement patterns. I miss it so much. I don’t know if I’ll ever be fit or pain free again but watching your videos make it easy to recall what it felt like to be the best, most authentic version of myself. That mind-body connection is key. My body has not tolerated my repeated attempts to re-wire that connection by working with different physical therapists. I hope one day I’ll be able to enjoy your workouts first hand! Cheers!
I have just been to an Osteopath and Physio in the last 8 days due to getting sciatica in my left leg. It has stopped me exercising but your workout echoes the physio about working glutes periformis core and most of all the hamstrings. Mine were too tight causing inflammation and the rest to go out. Well done again I will work on these when better. Keep up the good work
You're definitely one of my go to channels for inspiration and modifications, I really appreciate the quality of your content and your detailed ques, thanks
M Leighland But still it’s good/important to visit your PT clinic to address your low back pain. Low back pain is not just low back pain thinking its just muscle pain/imbalance because there are types of low back pain requires specific exercises specifically when you have slipped disc, herniation and etc. As PT we are not just performing exercises to the patient but knowing the problem and what is the most appropriate exercise to the patients.
Thank you so, so, SOOO much for this!!! I have been suffering with not being able to UNengage by lower back during core and it felt like, no matter how tightly I squeezed my abs, I could do nothing about it. This is going to help tremendously!
Along with similar moves in this video, you might find foam-rolling (myofascial release) of the top of your glutes with a small, firm & rounded object will relax your lower back. You may find your glutes engage better with various activities, also. I've done this for myself so I hope it helps you.
Fantastic video! I will certainly put this to good use. Former cyclist, I was hit by a car (T-boned) when training one day, this will be a good group of exercises to do (as tolerated, of course) on a regular basis - thanks so much for sharing! Your channel is a godsend!
Yes indeed, great exercises. A physio recommended a flange plank variant (knees touching the ground) to help ease lower back pain when its particularly sensitive. Will give the other 6 a spin (though i think my tight hamstrings are a more likely cause of lower back pain --- dangers of a desk job). Love the 7 daily stretches vid too - really help loosen out my legs and spine.
Very smart,educated and always has safe and correct exercises or workouts.i love her.thank you.i know alot of these but she has shown many new ones cause I have had low back n neck problems,deg disc disease,L5,S1 S1-5.osteoarthritis,
You put so much detail and excellent pointers on the videos. I am getting better at utilizing the pointers and description. But it’s definitely not a slow workout but I am catching on. Since you do them rapidly but you do have them time stamped so it would be really helpful if you could recommend reps and sets. If you have already done so could you point out the video it’s on make one for that topic. Thx for all you’re doing! Oh I also love your attention to detail🙏
I do get lower back pain at times and I m very excited to try your work out. Thansk a ton for such wonderful workouts.. I ll surely let u know the result n how I felt.
The shoes, they look like shoes. But somehow they look like something completely else. And the core moves look like something I should do. Kiwi though is lovable! She looks so cool doing her own dynamic moves with the roller 💖! 😊
Awesome , top quality material , I really appreciate this material , and thank you i appreciate your effort and willingness to share your awesome knowledge
You are always reading my mind! I'm having some lower back pain recently. I will definitely try these out in my next workout! Thank you for your amazing contents Cori! :) P.s. Did you actually say "vomiting cat" at the end or am I just having some hearing problems? :D
My glutes are burning with this- esp the glute bridge with rocks! I couldn't do the side clam shells without compromising my shoulders- and I am to blame. My side planks haven't been good ever and my shoulders are weak. Do you suggest any modifications or alternatives?
I often have back pain, will try these out for sure. Just recently found your channel and subscribed, I love your content on here...keep up the great work.
Thank you very much for posting the videos!!! They are amazing....it started off with 7 must do stretches to now almost 30 min of all different kinds of mobility and stretches for different muscles......I have two favors to ask of you 1) can you post a video for stretching gracilis, semimebranosus and biceps femoris( I googled the names). 2) you have so many videos, they are amazing but I get drawn into each of them and my workouts are now 30 min after this lower back video I can add another 10 min.....I know you are doing this out of goodness of your heart....can you add WOD for people like me..
Hi. Will it be possible you can do the workout with the countdown. All your workouts are super...well, I can follow easily with the counts means... Can you do further video's with the count's madam
