Here's a live example of the dynamic version of this exercise called "hip airplanes": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9svtEV4vkp0 https://www.moversodyssey.com The chances of knee injury and knee pain are increased drastically by postural and positional misalignments. Foremost among these is dynamic knee valgus. Often called knock knees, the dynamic version of this knee misalignment is not postural but is instead seen during movement. This is often seen in runners, lifters and athletes and is a common cause of ACL tears, MCL tears, meniscus and cartilage tears and runners knee. The runners hang is simple exercise that helps strengthen and stretch the hips and legs in order to make the body more durable against this misalignment. And most importantly, the runners hang helps teach proper knee alignment so that the skill of healthy movement can more easily translate to athletic activities. #kneepain #kneeinjury #running #legtraining Chapters 0:00 Intro 1:47 Glute Medius 2:28 Over Pronation 3:21 Kinesthetic Awareness 3:56 Runner's Hang 5:04 Runner's Hang Instruction 5:52 Variations 6:29 Lateral Hip Hike 6:58 Programming and Progression 8:40 End Art and Quote

https://www.moversodyssey.com Aquatic Dumbbells: https://amzn.to/3Wla7mh Swimming and other forms of aquatic movement are not only excellent forms of cardiovascular exercise and strength development, but also incredible catalysts for mental and emotional health changes. Though not all of these changes are well understood, they are still well documented. It is possible that these changes may have something to do with an innate human affinity for the water. A biological theory known as the "aquatic ape theory" or the "waterside hypothesis" has long been espoused by some in the academic community as a potential explanation for not only human affinity for coastal communities and water, but also as an explanation for certain biological traits seen in humans and other aquatic mammals, but not seen in the other great apes. https://sciencex.com/news/2021-07-boosts-brain-health-scientists-dont.html https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.14814/phy2.14247 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5Y9qZzcKDYdVxSDdM9gxGqY/why-swimming-could-be-the-best-exercise-you-do https://middleeasy.com/sports/swimming/ https://www.swimnetwork.com/how-many-calories-does-swimming-burn/ http://www.asph.sc.edu/news/blair3.htm #swimming

His training routine has changed a number of times over the years and has been primarily made up of boxing specific drills, sparring and calisthenics. Among the many bodyweight exercises Tyson has used, the rocking push up with wall foot reference has gotten the most attention, so much so that it's now known by his namesake, the Mike Tyson Push Up. This is a very unique looking push up variation and is harder than it might initially seem. In this video we will deep dive into the benefits of this push up and how to perform it properly. #calisthenics #pushups #miketysontraining Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:45 Rocking Push Up 2:08 Mike Tyson Push up Explanation 3:07 How To Perform the Mike Tyson Push Up 3:44 Common Mistakes 4:07 Regressing and Progressing the Tyson Push Up

https://www.moversodyssey.com Pso-Rite Release Tool: https://amzn.to/3Xp7u3P Over 600 muscles in the human body and each one can experience strain, pain or injury and radiate problems to surrounding musculature and joints. Yet none has quite the impact of the psoas. This single muscle sits at the very center of the body and it's dysfunction is capable of altering the biomechanics of the entire body. In fact, it's so pivotal to posture and movement that one can't even stand in a neutral and healthy position without a sound and functional psoas. This video covers the functions of the psoas, including some controversy over it's primary purpose, as well as how to train the psoas for function, performance and health. #psoas #posture #backpain #lowbackpain #coretraining #hippain

For most people this is ideal and doesn't come with any drawbacks. However, there are instances where it's more ideal to gain strength and power without the addition of extra bodyweight. This is a common situation for anyone in athletic events involving weight divisions or those working on bodyweight skills such as pull ups or vertical jumping, which are easier to perform at lower body weights. In these instances the strength of the body can be increase via neuromuscular efficiency training with little to no increase in muscle size. The technique explored in this video is known as "greasing the groove", a term coined by kettlebell guru Pavel Tsatsuoline. This technique can create amazing gains in strength, power, strength endurance and strength skill in a relatively short period of time. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/07/170710091652.htm https://startingstrength.com/article/neuromuscular_efficiency_for_the_strength_lifter https://startingstrength.com/article/training_female_lifters_neuromuscular_efficiency https://mtntactical.com/knowledge/mini-study-grease-the-groove-beats-density-for-push-up-pull-up-improvement/ Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:57 Two Types of Strength 2:00 Greasing the Groove 4:00 Example Grease the Groove Routines

Kettlebell Poster Link: https://moversodyssey.etsy.com Website: https://www.moversodyssey.com A truly strong core requires more than just abdominal work, it requires the integration of numerous muscles and connective tissues all working together. A useful core is one that protects the spine, has the mobility to move in all directions, and can create and transfer strength across the body. Too many core routines focus on only the visible abdominal muscles and not on the actual functional strength of the midsection. Kettlebells offer a great way to target the core in more of a functional manner. #kettlebell #kettlebelltraining #corestrength

However, there is a lot of scientific research to suggest that TRT may be completely unnecessary for most men. For men without any pathogenic issues, changes in lifestyle factors can boost testosterone without the potential negative side effects of TRT. The primary goal of these lifestyle changes is to reduce the total load of physiological, emotional and mental stress. This can repair the stress response mechanisms of the body and in most cases, improve natural levels of testosterone.

https://www.moversodyssey.com The glutes may well be the ultimate muscle, they are the most dominant muscle group in the body in terms of athletic power, they are absolutely key to healthy posture and are essential to aesthetic appeal. However, the glutes are also among the most dormant and dysfunctional muscles seen in modern populations. This is due functional issues such as tight hip flexors and glute amnesia, leading to infamous conditions colloquially known by such terms as flat butt and dead butt. In this video we cover these issues and lay out a step by step plan to reverse the dysfunction and unlock the true potential of the glutes. #glutes #glutesworkout
