Just got my bone density results. Advised me calcium, D3, and it's back to resistance training for me. Took too long a break after sciatica in 2013, gotta lot of muscle to rebuild and hopefully stop any more bone loss. 68 now, got a 78 yr old brother still running 5ks.
@@AgeFitwithTess Thanks, Tess! I'm 68 now in inspired by my 78 yr old triathloning brother. Actually in my 40s I traded my jog/walks to weight machines and elliptical. Kept up with it 12 wt machinrs around 3 times a week. Unfortunately I had sciatica after a couple of hiking stumbles. 2 days ago resumed my12 wt machines which I never got entirely backto. Cut some weights down, but am determined to do as much exercise wise in addition to to recommended calcium and D3 supps. The prescription stuff for osteoporosis scares me totally. Odd bone growth or calcification. Didn't spend my first 62 years in lean semi athletic shape to drop the ball now!!! Thanks for your interest. When in 30s or 40s tennis tendon trouble or canoeing ulnar nerve tingling would bench me til I graduated from physical therapy. Sciatica was discouraging.
@@AgeFitwithTess I love the pullups and dips. Thought the countweight is "cheating" you're still working tons of upper body muscles. Like the seated hamstring be curl, Lat pull down and hikes.
I’ve never seen the wall push-up before. That is a great idea!!! I’m almost a year into my fitness journey and want to start getting more into body weight exercises, but I’m such a weakling 🤣 this gave me a great starting point! Thank you!
This is so helpful, thanks guys! Please can you do more tips like this for gym exercises - squats, lunges, etc... so that people can avoid injuring themselves??
I agree with them entirely. I was a military Master Fitness Trainer. The single most important concept is get the form in first then the reps, and only then increase the weight. You want to do the reps as casual as turning pages in a book. Re-evaluations are not necessary as you can clearly observe progress of where you were and have currently reached.
No wonder you guys have 1.3 million subscribers because you guys are the best physical therapist on you tube. Pull ups, push ups, and core exercises great for low back problems. I’ve been doing them and I’ve seen results without lifting any weights
One of my new year's resolutions was to be able to do a push up.. then in AprilI broke my wrist so I had to be in a splint for 3 months... I found y'all looking for rehab exercises and I can finally do a plank at least again. Guess it's time to start working on the pushups lol
1. this channel is awesome 2. the pushup form on the wall is inconsistent with the other forms. the forearms should stay perpendicular to torso, the forearms were going close to parallel with the wall. I personally like how they were using the pushup on the table. Forearms were perpendicular to body. For regressions on a wall I like using a suspension trainer instead. Of course it is a bit different with stability and gripping instead of open palm. Isometric holds in positions of the pushup with or without a TRX suspension trainer work well for strengthening ranges of motion in the pushup, along with planks on the wall, table, or floor.
Hi there, great video (as always)! Congratulations to your channel! Since the camera angle doesn't alow to see you from the front or back, could you elaborate on what to do with the ELBOWS? How far should/may they move out to each side? Or is it better to keep them close to the torso? I'm asking because, if I want to keep them close to the torso, the height you indicate (above shoulder level) doesn't work for me in standing push-ups If I keep slightly below bust level it works fine though. I'd love to hear your opinion. Thanks!
The push-ups that you've shown here, the elbows are going out almost horizontally. My understanding is that proper form is keeping the elbows locked by your rib cage. Please comment.
I've always found that my problem with push-ups is my teres muscles, both minor and major, they let me down everytime even though I've worked in manual handling freight for years, I work out with my Bullworker all the time, lot of isometrics and calisthetics, so this is helpful considering its a bit embarassing that I can max out at 8 before the teres' give out, my 11 year old neice who doesnt exercise at all can do more than that and she loves to rub it in.
Idk where you hurt. I "jog" in place when I have my car in cruise control on the hwy. If you do a lot of sitting and waiting, you could try "jogging" too.
Quick tip is to keep your body weight on your palms and keep your fingers lightly raise. Give it a try and flex your pecks. How far comes to how much you want to stretch your pecks. Weight training comes down to 3 thing. Flex, stretch and control. If you can’t flex the muscle during the workout you might need to start learning how to flex first. Then Focus on range of motion also known as the stretch or negative movement. Hope this helps someone 👍🏻
@@santi_super_stunts2573 USMC standards require Pull-ups and not any pushups as part of their physical readiness standards and have for some time now. So, I wonder if there is something to it. Different muscle groups perhaps, but also very similar ones as well. And not the wrists/hands being twisted and pressured. Mine burn up horribly. Mos tpeople I know cant do either exercise. They both are difficult for the average person for sure..
Brian Houghton sometimes I have this issue with my wrists. What I, which helps me is; 1) elevate the back of the palm of my hands by placing them on an item about 1- 1.5 inches high, like a book or folding the end of a yoga mat. 2) close my fists and do them that way , place something soft underneath to avoid a rough hard surface from scratching your knuckles. 3) doing while holding a set of dumbbells, that will,work although makes the exercise a bit harder. Good luck Hector Ramirez
They said a number of months and also emphasized that everyone is individual. Sheesh. As well as that 40 in a minute puts you at a very greatly reduced risk so I’m guessing that’s an advanced fitness level. As an 18 year old girl I used to do 50 + in two minutes when I was in the Navy and never took fitness seriously so I think it can be done. I’m 35 now and can barely do 10 so it would probably take me quite awhile to get back there. Age, gender, injury and current fitness level are all factors. I though it was pretty clear in the video.
@@teresaworden3232 + your old now so even you will struggle getting back to 40 within a matter of months but your welcome to try. Good luck with the shot shoulders though
