She DID run Aerobic classes in her 20's 30's (Jane Fonda 😁😁), so she gets the idea, but she has become......less mobile.......anyways, I thought I'd ask. Thanks for reading either way.

:3 Foam rolling though doesn't take out "knots", often makes stuff worse, and pushing muscles in just causes less or no pain temporarily by temporarily reducing or muting the pain. I've seen recent peer-reviewed studies a science medical show had shown.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

@@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked I agree. There has been some evidence showing improved motion in certain cases. The foam roller roll in this exercise isn't used in the traditional sense of foam rolling. It just allows the leg to move as you rotate the torso. If the roller wasn't there, the leg would have to scrape along the floor, making it less smooth.

First time I passed by your Channel and its a very important subject fod energy and wellbeinv - if you have too much chronic tension e.g in the side muscles of the Beck ( e.g. sternocleido..) its not easy to relaxe just by being aware . I once tried Rolfing and my body became like flying. So no doubt its a very effective way to get rid of too much tension.

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Insightful! To reduce tension you must first sense what no tension feels like, then move with that. Hence the first part

Thanks Zac! Key insights 💪 Increased muscular tension can reduce range of motion and lead to movement limitations and discomfort. 🏋‍♀ The first step to reducing common aches and pains is to reduce overall muscular tension. 💧 The movement of synovial fluid within the joint is crucial for allowing us to move, but increased tension in certain areas can limit its flow and restrict movement. 💤 Nasal breathing during exercises can help promote relaxation and reduce muscle activity, allowing for a more effective and enjoyable workout.

@@ZacCupplesPT For the wall exercise, you said to do 5 rounds. My question is do you walk your hands back up so that a down up hand walk is one round, or do you go down take your hands off the wall and start from the original position to count as one round? I hope thats not an obvious dumb question.😐 For the box squat, what is the smallest size weights you would start with, and what would be the best incrementation and over what time frame to increase the amount of weight used. ( for example, I start with 1 pound weights for a week, OR until its too easy, then I move up to 2 pounds. OR would you start with 5 pounds. It seems #3 is a strength exercise, but compared to #1 and #2 which are slow and body motion based, #3 seems faster and heavy lifting oriented. My body is so desperate for help, I want to make sure I do these correctly. The wall exercise was amazing the 1st time I did it. Thank you !

@@stocksconfidential8862 So you would hang out for 5 breaths, then walk your hands back up the wall. Great questions! Box squat - Really depends on the person.

Great question! I’m the beginning, I agree, overall tension reduction is better done with nasal.

The deep squats was about using anabolic effect of biggest muscles on your body to maximize your results by engaging them properly and there is that stretching element encouraging beter energizing feeling too. So I ended up warming up by doing this deep squat stretching position that is captured on your thumbnail sir. Also doing it after squats or between sets. I guess, it helped me more than I knew. Because before then my legs sucked, which is not the case anymore and I am over 40 now, also I barely have any pains anywhere in body thanks God.
