i wish you would show people not to just do the arms and legs in straight movements and to move around more so like martial arts and to flow in their own vibe
I have used this routine and it has helped me significantly. My core strength is Farr better now. I used to get cramps in the earlier days now that has gone.
Or if you have a back injury and want to strengthen core/back safely to improve symptoms, supporting your body posture and engaging in fun activities like parkour.
JM, that's too funny! Yeah I had to do mine with no one around, my husband thinks I'm crazy! Ha! I like this post/site, everyone is so happy and positive, lately I've found a lot of negativity and this is a pleasant surprise, thanks 🤗❗
Been watching for a few years and I'm glad yall are still posting. I was working my way up to doing more parkour movements and got kept away by life and injury not related to parkour. I recently started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and there are many parallels in the types of movements one needs to be proficient in to be strong and safe. Calisthenics and cardio. Keep posting please I will soon begin my journey back to beginner free running. THANKS.
You guys are so bad ass, I love the idea of just being "primal" and I didn't know my crunches were useless! I just thought I wasn't trying hard enough! I did the ones you showed &they were so great, thanks for the help!!
Seem to be a pretty safe way to exercise the core. I am sixty four years old and have been looking for some safe core exercises. Will try it and revert back. Thanks
ram akella go to a yoga class I almost 50 and lost about 30 lbs and gained strength and tons of coordination. Also yoga pants are awesome on the ladies!
First Last I also have scoliosis and nothing has helped me more than yoga, and I must add walking. Yoga will show you where your back is weaker and needs strengthening, you will strengthen as you keep doing it, you'll be surprised! Please try it, take it easy at first and get stretched after warm up too.
You two are simply, hands down, the functional BEST. I'm SO impressed with you!!! I'm an almost 60 yr old lady and Ive exercised a lot over the years. I wish I would have done these things sooner (dumb crunches!) but better late than never. I'm slowly unwinding the scoliosis in my back and hope that I'll be able to be more primal, soon. I do your dynamic stretches every day. 👍
It's ironic that the "crunch" i learned in high school (late 80s) looks just like your "hollow tucks," with a little movement of the shoulders with each tuck. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! Finally some sensible ab exercises I can do without further injuring my neck and spine. Some say you are long winded but I say thank you for full explainations on what to avoid doing and correct body alignment. My 7 age old grandson is very interested in Parkour and I'm confident he could learn safely from your video's.
I am so grateful for the Tapp brothers! I will be 50 in January and doing keto with Dr Berg Thomas DelAur. I want to be strong but don’t want to use weights. I am getting g stronger everyday watching your videos has helped greatly. Please keep up the good work. I have learned so much. I will also download the book from audible. Thanks again!
Awesome. I have scoliosis and others back joint issues. I have been looking for other ways to strengthen my abs and body and this is amazing. I am also a huge Bruce Lee fan. I am a 51/f and been a fitness instructor for years and it has taken a huge toll in my spine.
xkoaxian Seems He's teaching exercises like a Physical Therapist who would. They would point out that if you don't strengthen the core properly, you're looking to get hurt. Mine would show me how to do it right and why the "guys in the gym" get hurt by not strengthening all the muscle groups. Instead, they focus on the exercises that make them look big but not necessarily make them stronger.
Thank u for putting the time stamps in the description section. I shared this immed with about 10 people. These are less taxing than other stuff. Thanx
Awesome video guys! I've sadly neglected my physical fitness, to the point where I've started getting warning symptoms that I might develop an inguinal hernia. Are these exercises safe for me? They look like they develop less internal abdominal pressure than sit-ups or crunches. What do you think?
I find it very difficult ult to keep my lower back down on the ground during exercise 3. But I'm so glad to have found this video as I suffer with neck and back pain and it has curtailed much of my mobility and stopped me running. I'll give this a go and see will it help with lower back pain while running. Thanks
Crunches are helpful and possibly the only exercise available with a machine. . Those who feel that they don't feel motivated without a machine they can do a mixture of these 2 types to get a best result as I have got Being a professor at university I get only 20min per morning and running and core exercises will make you happy
Great video! I've had ACL reconstruction and partial removal of my meniscus on both knees. Do you have any low impact exercises that I can do to strengthen my legs and keep my flexibility?
Those videos inspire me to do parkour, free running, movement, urbex videos for my channel! Thanks! If you're reading this, I wish you all the best in life! 😀
I love the crow pushup. All of the pushup variants you presented are highly challenging and engage the entire body, but I especially love the crow pushup for the added body movement control dimension.
Hi TappBrothers! So honesty,I love you guys! I just love your videos,your style,your mindset,your technics and etc. I think you're the most effective and interesting,creative and powerful channel on the RU-vid. Keep it real! ❤️
😅 Thank you. I do crunches all the time, and my neck hurts! THANK YOU. Got the audio book and changing my routine. Thank you for this video. Subscribed. 🙏🙏🙏
Hey tappbrothers, I have watched a lot of your videos but I have never seen any wall backflip videos. I am commenting to ask if you would make a wall backflip tutorial video because I and probably a lot of others are trying to get that trick done. I love your videos and will continue to watch them.😀😊
If not abs, then your big mono-ab if applicable, this can usually be powered and toned by sprinting to the beer fridge and sprinting back to the recliner before the commercial starts. Repeat as needed, or until halftime.
I don't know if I'll regret starting this later on but... Anything can be functional. Functional means ''applicable'' or ''useful'' So depending on your goals, the crunch could be functional. Plus, if a muscle is strengthened, it's new strength can be used to learn a new, more useful exercise later, if said new exercise is too difficult at first. Is the crunch the exercise you need? It depends on your current goals. That's the honest answer.
Can you kindly help me in doing push ups as I am 53 years old & recently started doing exercises .Then my wrist was very painful .Saw your video on wrist exercises & YOOO ,I have improved a lot .But I have been seeing lots of videos on push ups ,it is just not coming right .HELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!. Love You Boys ,You both are simply fantastic
I'm impressed I've seen your push up video and this one , and I'm 56 loosing weight and keeping active , work out a bit and cycle , I think some of these exercises would be very good many people I think those ab exercises are for me I need to target there and I was dreading that I think these techniques are the way to go and short videos are better 10 mins
Hey @Tank Nation, Really depends on your goals for your training whether our channel will be a good fit for you. Weights can be a great addition for functional strength. Examples are squats, deadlifts, rows, etc. However, if your goals are on bodybuilding and aesthetics. If your focus is on developing specific muscles for size and show then this channel is not of you because this is not our focus.
I just came across this channel , i was 248LBs and dropped to 229lbs in 3 and half weeks by eating smaller food portions and using my exercising bike early mornings on Monday , Wednesday& Fridays for just 30 mins followed by two jogs during the day for lower body work outs , Tuesday and Thursdays intense upper body work outs and was tired of how my back started to feel when it came to doing crunches this is a more effective way to build core strength and has less spine movement
4.20 until we actually see the exercises. Way too much chatter and self-promotion beforehand. The exercises themselves are very useful, and appreciated.
I always take advantage of idle time and make use of the time by stretching my ball sack. I'm stretching it like leather by progressively pulling it out further and further. There are a ton of benefits to have a stretched ball sack(or nut bag. whatever you want to call it). You can roll your schlong up in it and have it protected like a natural cup. You can pierce the sack on the bottom and wear a loop ring and then pierce the head and wear a barbell ring(i think it's called a Prince Albert) so that you can stretch out the sack and put nic nacs or whatever in it, roll the sack up and then clip the loop ring onto the barbell and there you have an extra pocket or pouch. Use your imagination and think of so many uses. The sky's the limit with a good stretched scrote. A scrotum tote 'em.
emaster met dude sit ups is crunching and this video is about to not crunch ever again :/ LOL i crunched and starting to get 2 abs looool im getting there but im never going to do crunchers ever again but i used the app called six pack in 30 days!!...
Great video, I personally thought you guys were going to discuss the books 3 min routine. I like this routine but nothing beats Bruce Lee's 3min contraction.. Still I love your take on it. Keep it up.
So basically your doing MMA and Jujitsu warm ups? And my lower back has always had a huge dent in it. I can lay flat on my back and it will never touch the ground.
A dent? Lol.we all have a natural curve to our spine. When doing pelvic tilts your flatten that arch to focus on the drawing in maneuver of your abdominals.
Im lovin calisthenics vids like this because im too weak for much weight, but these kind of exercises are perfect for my fitness level. Thanks for the vid
Gustaf Segersson Most of them should see this. They studied 20+ years ago from an old teacher, and a book that was written even longer ago. Here they're teaching bad techiques to everyone. No wonder people don't like to move...
when you said in the beginning "we are all about lean and functional body and not bout getting big" instantly clicked with me. The purpose of going to the gym should be to get stronger in a way you could use it, not just for aesthetically good looking purposes.
At this point this video is 2 yrs old and I don't know if I'll get a response or not. I love the way you guys attack what you do in making a body functional as opposed to being robotic with resistance exercises but I'm a 53 yr old with a partial knee replacement who was (I still consider myself athletic) very athletic at your age (I'm guessing you guys are in your early 30's but do you think you'll be doing all this at my age and beyond ? I still could do a good majority of what you to do (maybe not as intensively) at my age but I'm still looking at a complete knee replacement of the same knee by the time I'm roughly 70. As a professional firefighter I believe in have a functional body as opposed to a overly muscular one but at some point if you want to stay fit you might have to think about adapting to a system that fits your body rather than one that you can fitting your bofy to a system, if that makes any sense. I know you guys are way off from being my age but I didn't see 32 yrs creep up in me either when I joined the fire department at 21. Again, I'm not criticising your system, I love it but maybe this is something that I shouldn't be looking at ? I'd love any opinions or ideas that you coukd guve me regarding your workouts. The ONLY problem I have with the repaired knee us that I don't have full flexion in it. For those who don't understand this, I cannot bring my calf to the back of my thought as in a "runners stretch" to stretch the front if the quads. Other than this the Dr said I coukd do anything I'd like. Btw, I took taekwondo for 25+ yrs. Keep the vids rolling ... ✌
yo appreciate your videos, just 1question, when you say activte your core and keep it tight or locked do you mean tense your stomach muscles throughout the whole 30 seconds or not,coz I don't know when I'm supposed to tense, breathe or whatever, would appreciate some feedback cheerz
What if i wanna be an aesthetics strength beast with super core power and high flexibly and performance? To make it short martial artist that lifts heavy and look badass.
I do like this longer video format. The information you share is useful for all. I love that you focus on safety, endurance, flexibility and longevity. When you're training people in person (if you do that) how do you convince them to never arch their backs when they're trying to increase difficulty? In a small group setting I've found that against their better judgement people tend to try to push themselves beyond what is safe and end up tweaking their lower backs = getting discouraged. Do you recommend that your clients put a rolled blanket at the base of the pelvis? Thanks for being the best RU-vid workout source around and for just being awesome!
aaa bbb Eat your weight or more in grams of protein every day and sleep well to gain muscle. Chicken, rice, and I recommend protein powder for shakes. Cut down on sugar and red meats.
This intrigued the hell out of me! When I first saw this I was skeptical. But after watching this I’m very interested in seeing what happens if I try this
Good stuff. Been doing Planks, reverse (bench hugging supine plank with legs dangling) and right and left copenhagen planks and up to 1 min + hold on all and feeling the need for more variety and progression and these look good.
Mzima like how some of his prior movements work. You flex your core (first exercise he shows) and then only lift up with your back straight (kinda like touching toes where only your hips have the bend). That's how I do them at least. I also just cross my arms over my chest as if I was mad to not use hands for momentum). It's not hard really. If you L sits you can think of it like that also but instead your back is the one moving not your legs. It's not easy and your back might bend a little if you lack the strength. Just make sure to keep your back as straight as possible and don't even try to flex your neck or use it to go up (that's how you manage a neck injury). It's honestly hard to get a lot of those injuries. I see a couple of benefits to crunches. In pole vault I needed to always do reverse crunches and crunches would help me. It might be very specific but it has some positives better to have extra than to lack. It's like rock climbing and finger strength you might only need finger strength to climb up really tight holds but I mean if you ever need it you have it
@@mikael7071 if you're so overweight that you can roll around like a ball: yes else: no With this method, it probably takes a few months to get abs, the method is great without a doubt.
@@mikael7071 Do as you wish, of course! I'm happy to try a new method that might serve me far more than the regular ones, and trying new things in general is also quite beneficial to anyone.
