(And yes the camera quality, clothes, and even some fitness form of the first video made me cringe a bit, haha. Always trying to improve, though! Thank you all for being here.)

Waiting for your app 😅

Waiting for your app

Oh yes the app!

16:57 ​@@HybridCalisthenics​- For people whose psoas is causing the low back pain during leg raises and such, the safest way to do them is with one foot planted to maintain hip - and therefore spine - stability. Similarly, people who experience spine pain when their thighs touch the floor may prefer to keep a rolled towel just inferior to their butt, as that will keep the psoas from pulling too hard on the vertebrae until they can loosen it and improve their range of motion. A great way to loosen any muscle is to use it slowly and mindfully, then relax. In this case: 1) Lie down and feel your body against the firm, flat surface. If you need the support of a pillow or towel to prevent pain, use it. 2) Take time to experience any tensions, discomforts, raised areas, asymmetries, and differences over time. Greater awareness produces greater results. (My teacher called this "consulting the griddle".) 3) Begin taking slow, deep belly breaths. Feel the changes in your body against the floor. 4) Plant one foot around knee level. Deeply inhale. 5) The abdominal squeeze of exhaling your deep belly breath pairs with slowly raising the other leg however much feels safe. (Depending on the body's condition, this may be a straight leg rising into the air or rising knee dragging a foot. If the straight leg wants to bend as it rises then there is probably too much hamstring tension.) 6) Continue paying attention to the sensations of your body. Focus especially on the muscles lifting your leg. Try to feel the connection between your lumbar spine and the uppermost inner side of the femur. If you can, focus on using this muscle in particular. 7) Try to time your movement and breath such that you reach the end of your comfortable range of motion at the end of your exhale. 8) Slowly inhale as you gradually lower your leg, maintaining focus on the muscle connecting it to your spine. Maintain the slowest pace that won't cause you pain or have you run out of breath too early. 9) Upon reaching your original position and full lungs, exhale deeply and relax your body and mind as completely as possible, melting into the floor. 10) Repeat several times on each side. For best results, roll over and lift backwards. (For hamstrings, inhale as you lift, exhale downward, inhale again & relax on the exhale. Use the slowest breath and pacing that can keep time together without causing you pain.) --- This is a controlled release of the problem muscle. Going slowly requires your brain to regain conscious control of smaller parts of the muscle. Often the movement will be jagged or stuttery if it isn't used to finer movement or certain portions of the range. The stronger your focus on an area, the more control you regain. Similarly, the more deeply you relax, the more tension you are telling your muscles to release. If you can get the hang of doing both at once, you multiply your results. Reducing the tension increases your range and should decrease your pain if it improves the balance with the opposing muscles and you also don't have some other complicating factor. Releasing opposing tensions, as mentioned in 10, is preferred. If you like this technique, look into Thomas Hanna's Somatics or Feldenkrais Method. Otherwise, just know that you can apply this to any muscle. And if you don't have the time or the patience, just flex whatever it is hard like a cat or a dog stretching and then relax completely. Again, it works especially well if you really feel it as you do it.

Nice, good work. Ty

26:03 ;)

thanks man! appreciate it

Greatest person in the comment section, thank you!

Thanks you for the timestamp

One of the best comments I have ever read in a comment section. And I agree with you. This guy is real and sincere and a breath of fresh air.

I AGREE -- WE'RE OVERRUN WITH NUMBSKULLS INSISTING YOU'RE NOT IN SHAPE UNLESS YOU CAN SQUAT 3 MILLION POUNDS & DO 1000 PUSHUPS A DAY - THIS GUY IS REALISTIC FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON THAT IS LUCKY IF THEY CAN CARVE OUT 30 MINUTES A DAY FOR ANY KIND OF A WORKOUT - MUCH LESS AN HOUR -- OR 2 - OR THREE -- HE KEEPS IT REAL - GRAND YOUNG MAN

@@lisaahmari7199 I agree. Wholesome fitness expert. Love that he wears flip flops. I will add his routine to my 3-km daily walk.

If yall don't even have 30 minutes to spare on any given day, ya might be doing it wrong lol

Greetings from Germany. Livingroomwarrior, 67, handicapped!❤😂

How often did you exercise? Every day or a few times a week?

@@Jenova1009 3 to 4 days a week. A break between each day. If I haven't recovered, that's when I would take a 2-day break.

I’m asking this here because it might get lost in all the other comments out there. So, at the end he shows the table and there are 2-3 sets for each exercise. So for example it was stated that wall pushups are 3 sets of 50, and once I finish that it counts as 1 set in total?

​@@coolcat9516no, if you do 3 sets of 50, that's 3 sets

Same here dude! I'm glad it worked for someone else too!

True.

Okay guys heres working out for beginners at home. Guy proceeds to walk into an in home gym with all the equipment okay guys take this and do that.

Double Indeed!!!

Plus, a lot of beginners do also start working out of insecurity so they might be shy to go to the gym or even buy equipment from stores so his tutorials is a good start so these insecure beginners can bulk up and gain a bit, until they are finally confident to go out to an actual gym or buy equipments to make home gym, and start to improve from there with more advanced equipments.

Right, they’re like “heres a beginners work out,” then does something wild and a wall push up.

Agreed!

Congratulations ❤

Hey did u noticed any change in strength or muscle mass just asking

Update. I am in week 8 of routine. I can do 3x50 reps of Wall PushUps & PullUps and today I progressed to Full leg raises. My gym rings just arrived for the Inclined PullUps progression. If I lived near the US would definitely have bought Hybrid Gym Rings tho. Thank you Hampton, you're my flip-flopped idol. ❤😊

​​​​​@@intens_fx​​​ luckily I know the answer! Went to a dietitian on week 2 and returned on week 6 of this routine. Over the course of 1 month (weeks 2-6), I built 2 kg of lean muscle mass and lost 1 kg of fat. I exercised just this routine nothing else + had a non-restrictive diet. My goal was not to push a hard change and rather build progress sustainably because I started 100% sedentary and did not want to drop. Again. I feel I am progressing in both routine and diet in a way that is sustainable long term. ❤😊

Keep up the great progress! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

​​@@intens_fx Hi! Yes, I went to a dietitian in week 2 and came back in week 6. Thru this 1-month I've lost 1 kg of fat and gained 2 kg of lean muscle mass. I was also on a low fat diet but my dietitian isn't of a starving school , I could eat plenty of fruits, salads, carbs on lunch and dinner and low fat protein.

Hey person! If you have chronic pain, it might behoove you to get a blood test for food allergies and intolerances (different things). Sometimes we have a sensitivity to something but we don't know it, and it ends up causing symptoms like inflammation and pain and fatigue. Just by eliminating it, it could resolve your chronic pain issue. It can also help you lose weight if the weight is dietary~

@@apollofateh324 I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and all of my first symptoms were GI/dietary-- that was taken care of already.

@@MoonLitChild Cold exposure can be great for chronic pain and Fibro. Wishing you glory on your journey!

@@unionrisingyoga Hah! When I was in the hospital, cold was the only that helped until my rheumatologist hit on a good med combination-- I always joke that they had me packed on the bed like a fish at a fishmarket. xD

That's the goal! Thank you so much for being here!

Good luck! I hope you get the habit soon.

I think I can help explain: he focuses on you, not himself. If he has an ego, he’s got it under control. Never condescends, he meets you where you are and can get you to believe in your own ability to improve. Plus, he’s funny. In the universe of YT fitness, his guy is the real deal.

I'm so sorry about your situation. I went through a lot too. I bleed heavy for almost 11 months and I really thought I won't live especially 3 differently gynecologist told me I'm lucky I'm still alive. And the 4th gynecologist told me I'm on stage 2. Then the 5th gynecologist didn't do much on me until he found out I needed full hysterectomy asap. He told my husband, I Misdiagnosed her 😢 he thought I'm only for pain pills and he found out he was so wrong. Even we told him the pain i had was unbearable and non stop. In 3 months I was in and out in the ER for 5x and 2x admitted. It's horrible. I have never ever thought depression is Real until that time especially after surgery. It felt like the world I was in was Empty 😢 Despite all the things I went through I never gave up and I will not. I have to stand for Life what has God given me and to show people that I can do it 💪 I want to be an inspiration for others. And you are inspiration too for not giving up ❤ Always Take Care of yourself. Always remember you are important too ❤️
