I literally do this everyday. helps so much

Arms as long as commercials in the 90’s

Is this ok for someone with 38 degree S-curve scoliosis?

I’ve struggled with back pain and after finding this video and only ten days doing this training I feel so much better. Thank you

Used to be an athlete but once I enter the workforce and sit at my desk 9 hours a day or more, my back really started to hurt, hope this would help, just did my first set

Have dorsolumbar pain about 1 month. I start doing this routine since 3 days . back seems more stronger

wow can't do this, look forward to improving

I felt it😅

Anyone experience getting sore in different ways in the beginning while the body is changing?

This is quite a special sequence of exercises. I've personal trained for 20 years, owned my own facility for athletes for 15, and lectured in Exercise Prescription for 7. In other words, I've been through a few trends, read a lot, worked out a lot, and never found anything like this. I'm nearly 50 but still sprint and lift heavy weights, and looked into this routine after one of my older clients bought Eric's book and raved about it. I've had soreness on and off in my left vastus medialus for several years, not debilitating but irritating. The first time that I did this routine, it burned from being yanked in unfamiliar directions for so long. It did so again the second time, but by the third time, the familiar stiffness was gone, and has stayed gone. Ditto for a little bit of medial foot soreness from sprinting. I'd convinced myself that I would have to live with these aches if I wanted to continue to train hard as I aged. I am happy to have been wrong. Thank you for making this video available to everyone, Eric. I suspect that this series of exercises will work much better for people whose backs spend a lot of time in flexion (sitting) rather than chronic extenders (weightlifters, sprinters, manual laborers) but I can definitely recommend it for anyone's legs, especially knees. The back extenders might want to check out his newer video also.

Everything is good but lunges killing my SI joint. Anyone else with this? Push through to correct or…

So good!!

After being out of commission for 10 days due to pulling a lower back muscle, I found this video and did the exercises. I’m on day 2 and my back is now feeling better! This is a gem of a workout! That I will now do every morning. Who would’ve known that once you become a dad of 3, your lower back goes out easier 🤣

Thank you Eric

this video and a grounding mat sorted my hip and back pain out. TYSM

Obligatory like for Toots and the Maytals

Can this make anterior pelvic tilt worse?

I’ve been using your original video for years, love this newer version. Your cues are unmatched, thank you!

I was thinking how you are unique from so many physiotherapist and trainer. As I got instant relief doing this wonderful exercise ✨ I will pray from lord Shiva for your happiness as you heal my pain. Thankyou ✨

December 2024 checking in. Not to sound hyperbolic, but this has honestly been life-changing. I'm a 33 year old guy with a desk job, active and fit but have always had issues with lower back pain/soreness. Nothing nefarious like some other folks here that have had surgeries, etc. Since doing this routine 5-6x weekly x6 weeks, my back feels so much stronger and I'm very close to absolutely 0 pain/soreness. My body feels more balanced, I can tell my posture is better at baseline, I feel like my gait is even lighter just because I feel so grounded if that makes sense. ALSO my neck feels stronger?! Like more fluid and more range of motion. Felt compelled to comment because this has helped me so much and now I look forward to doing it each day to see how much I can 'bulletproof' my back.

This is my first time doing this exercise and it is so good, it is truly foundation training

I need to see Peter in shorts .

Just did this for the first time after reading all the comments on Reddit and here. That was a hard 12 minutes and I’m in good shape! I’m 36, have had low back pain since about 24. Looking forward to seeing what this can do.

Happy belated!

The only thing id add is a marker for exactly where the stretch / activation should be since a lot of these I got into my legs and lower back more than my butt

I had lower back pain that persisted for more than 6 months. Chiropractic, acupuncture, PT exercises given to me by therapists..nothing helped. Then a friend told me about this workout and within a couple weeks I have ZERO back pain. THANK YOU!

Wow! Just did this for the first time and already feel relief in my lower back which has started to hurt since I began studying and working extra hours doing a desk job. 🥴 The 12 minutes was hard and I had to take some breaks but I will definitely keep doing it every morning to keep the pain away! Thank you! 🙏

Happy Birthday!

what do i do if i have a dog that insists on "helping"? is there an exercise for that?

Does this help with knees too?

This is super hand than I expected 😢

15 slow good mornings. Me: Alright, 1, 2, 3 After 15 we move on Me, HUH, I need 12 more???

What hoodie is that? Doing this routine every day for 3 weeks now. Cancelling steroid shot @L4-5

started my day1

Works every time!

Lol.. yesterday was my birthday also!! Happy birthday.. I turned 50. I got the app just getting started. So far it has been helping me. Thanks. It looks like I can use this as strength training as I go through these programs correct?

Who is here in 2030?

Hello! Please make a video about cervical kyphosis (military neck). I have that along with scapular winging. My right shoulder and neck hurts a lot. I think that my right scapula is very unstable and my right shoulder is higher than my left. There is also less range of motion. I went to PT and they gave me door exercises and rubber bands (they help for some time) but after sitting to do a task my neck and shoulders burned like fire. Sad upper body (also have mild scoliosis).

You are great sir ,thank you for your great foundation training exercises ,with your foundation excercise my back pain is cured ,now I am very happy sir

Okay so today I made it to 430 before I had to collapse. I will come back tomorrow or the next day and try again.

Happy Birthday Eric, thank you for giving me hope. FT is really helping me from day 1

2 years of doing this video, my spine is good, and Im sill learning new things and different ways to move my body, all in a 12 minute short video. This + the 8 point plank is a life saver, and combined with daily walks in the woods, all you need to keep healthy imho. Thanks! It means the world to me, and most likely so many others.

Happy birthday Legend

Happy birthday, Dr. Goodman, you have given new life and hope to this 72 year old golfer/athlete. 12 years ago, my cycling PT poo-poo'd your posterior chain process. My, how the worm has turned!! May I ask, what is the brand of hoodie you are wearing in the Original 12 Minute Video? FT Merchandise?

Thank you for being so passionate. You’ve helped me!

Happy birthday Eric!!!

Does this include upper back pain, any experience with this? Thank you!

I’ve been using this for five plus years and it’s really helped my pain management, thanks Dr. Goodman and Happy Birthday Brother! (And if you’re wearing shoes like Peter is) 😂 🤙🏻
