I watched your "shorts" version of the intermediate form of this exercise a while back. I did the exercise for just two days, and the pain in my knees reduced by a lot in that short amount of time. Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been doing this and after 2 days I felt a huge difference! I’m able to walk up the stairs with speed now. I can also stand up without holding on to anything
Thank you Coach Tyler. I am so grateful for all of the knowledge you have taken time to demonstrate and explain for us so we understand and know which exercises will help us stay strong and enable us to feel better in our bodies. This teaching for me is a true blessing. Coach Tyler, I send you, peace, joy, love, & many blessings. Keep up your great work you are very much respected, & greatly appreciated. 💯🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕😊
Years ago I used to do amateur bicycle racing. Would train that muscle group in reverse of the way you train calf muscle.....put heel on a raised surface like a block of wood, or some other raised surface, and do toe raises. That muscle group is important in the "round pedaling technique" racers use to get 360 degrees of power during the pedaling cycle. You can do that because your shoes are mechanically locked onto your racing pedals through a cleat mechanism. You can divide your pedaling cycle into 4 basic areas of a circle......push down, pull back, pull up, push forward. So in the transition from pulling up to pushing forward to repeat the cycle, the muscle group you're talking about comes into play. So when you go out on training and race days, you exercise these muscles over thousands of pedal revolutions as part of riding your bicycle. Any bicycle racer can tell you about this muscle group.....especially if they stopped their training for awhile and then started riding again.....they get really sore if you try to push it too hard...... :)
So happy to find your channel, most helpful! 😊👌 Been slowly gluing myself back together with stationary cycling & dumbells after a broken femur-hip w/IM rod repair last summer. Simple all-over strength & balance building. But worried about doing it wrong & breaking the rod. As well as properly managing common everyday motions like bending to pick up things from the floor. Your clear tutorials help tremendously ~ thank you for posting them. (I've learned, over time, that our muscles do 90% of motion work while our bones & skeletal framing are mainly for support. And to hold our bodies together. Without muscle strength, many people will break, esp as they age. And now working to not let it happen again.)
Thank you, but I do have a question. Is each lift a repetition or a hold time? If it is reps, do we do as many as we can in 90 seconds? thank you again
This exercise seems easy to me. I am a cyclist and cycle mediate long distances on a (nearly) daily basis. Have done this since 60 years. Apart from this I swim a lot in open natural waters (lakes and sea depending on where I am). Long distance walking worsens my knees, but cycling on the contrary relieves my knees a lot. As a result in general my knees don't cause me too much trouble. My question is, is cycling strengthening these muscles supporting knee healing or maintaining? I have a light osteoarthritis, mainly affecting my knees and hands, but in general it doesn't bother me much.
Gee thanx. I tried the beginners variation along with you. That was at 12:00 noon. It is now 19:07 and my thigh is still cramping so bad I can't walk.😅
@@lisagayle1976 I do eat bananas a lot, but I have been thinking about adding magnesium supplements. I don't sleep well either. I'll be 68 next month and retired and my hobbies are sewing and crocheting. I try to walk when the weather is nice, but for now the family won't let me. I've had recent balance problems and fallen in the house a couple of times this winter. In Match I have been scheduled for a EMG, due to neuropathy in my left leg. Not sure which it is, but I sure would like to keep wearing my 2-3" heels. I'll be sad when the day comes that I can't wear heels anymore,🤥
My cousin recently(Friday) gave me a cycling thing that you do while sitting in a chair. I'm trying to do that as the weather has been wet and my hilly clay drive way is not a good match for walking when it's like that.
When my thigh cramps, I take potassium every 20 minutes until it stops. Helps with insomnia, too. I chose 20 minutes because an aspirin commercial I watched 40-50 years ago said it took 20 minutes for aspirin to get into the bloodstream, lol.
@@pamelaferguson7766 there are different forms of magnesium if your cramp gets worse or does not improve try a different one. I found this out when my magnesium was making cramps worse. Happy crafting 😊
When you said "nobody", I thought: I'll take that bet. Yup. I do indeed keep this muscle in top condition, and I have what I call "good knees." One point, the white wall is very difficult to distinguish from the white background everywhere, like you're floating in space. This is not good.
I underwent physical therapy for a knee injury and arthritis in my knees. My therapist focussed mainly on exercises that strenthened my quad muscles. It made a huge difference.
