After a lifetime of yoga, ballet, skating my hips have arthritis. I’m hoping when Ian says this can help arthritic joints he means people that already have it. I thought this small class was concise, not boring and I think I am going to learn more about it. With gratitude, Dawn

[@IanMarkow]

Absolutely. Its not going to happen overnight and an assessment is always key to start on the right path but you can change a whole lot with hard work and consistency.

I found your video while searching for Kinstretch after my massage therapist suggested it for me today. It was very easy to follow and I'm going to give it a try. Thank you!

[@IanMarkow]

awesome. We have had so much success with Kinstretch. You should do a FREE 3 day trial of our EVM. We would love your feedback on those classes! courses.markowtrainingsystems.com/courses/elite-video-membership

[@kaseyrose5757]

The movement is so good for identifying where we have restriction and showing how to work on it. May I suggest you look into Buteyko Breathing? Your message and intention of ending in parasympathetic is right on, however, I think that the forceful exhale and intentional holding the breath keeps us in the sympathetic. Thanks!

[@IanMarkow]

Hey thanks for taking class and the recommendation! Finding relaxation and control with a breath hold is one of the ultimate displays of the parasympathetic state. Think about less breathing (not hyper ventilating) as calming down. To go from forceful exhale to breath hold is a tough challenge of finding parasympathetic.

This was FANTASTIC! I'm new to kinstretch, but not to mobility. I have been experiencing some chronic pain in my hamstrings and that my regular mobility wasn't alleviating so I thought I would try this! It was challenging, but I LOVED it and will be doing it on a regular basis! THANK YOU!

[@IanMarkow]

Awesome. I am stoked for you! Here are a bunch of other free resources to add to your routine for variety. The first thing to work towards mastering with Kinstretch is 100% C.A.R.'s. Here is the full routine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKsYqmZhLungck The more you learn Kinstretch from us the more you will see how we integrate a lot of different approaches into ours. Our pelvic magic class is a phenomenal way to illustrate that.

You do such a great job 👏 Thank you!! I have osteoarthritis in my hips... Glad I found you. I have been to 3 doctors all they want to do is give you medication. And found you!!

[@IanMarkow]

Glad you found us. I would focus a ton on the basics especially hip CARs and optimizing your breathing. Honeslty the 9090 might be too advanced. www.markowtrainingsystems.com/2020/11/10/improve-your-hip-car/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYTVpoSweLWbhbM

Hey I am new in this, I don't know how many times I need to repeat every single exercise in order to improve. Do I need to do them the amount of times that you show on the video or do I need to do more? Thanks you!

[@IanMarkow]

Thanks for watching. Impossible to answer since I Do not know where you are starting and what your goals are. Same as how many curls do I do or how many miles a week should I run?

[@RubyRedDances]

Ian, you seem to be engaging/straightening the arms & gripping the fists during the beginning of the warm-up. Is this intentional/important?

[@IanMarkow]

Thanks for the great question Ruby. This is based off of sherringtons law of irradiation. Basically we use total body tension to lock joints into place to control the only one or group that we want. For example, neck moves but nothing else. Higher levels of tension would represent a higher training stimulus and lower levels would be more in line with a warm up. Feel free to ease into it and know we never want any irradiation through the jaw in class.

[@oscarreed6629]

Can u use this as a warmup?

[@IanMarkow]

Yes. This and the daily cars routine are great warm ups. We also have our work breaks playlist and shorter classes on the EVM that are great warm ups. Here is a free trial if you want to check it out courses.markowtrainingsystems.com/courses/elite-video-membership

insanely healing for the body

[@IanMarkow]

Thank you for watching

[@mailsandymurali]

I have L5 S1 extrusion, and I want to improve my hip mobility. Are these exercises safe in my condition?

[@IanMarkow]

Hey Sandhya, there is no way of knowing without assessing you. It’s always a great idea to consult with your doctor and physical therapist before starting an exercise plan.

[@mailsandymurali]

I tried the routine. It was difficult. And on my own its difficult to assess my hip rotation range. What I felt was if I do it from a sitting position it compromises my L5 S1 extrusion and after wards I had to spend some time to decompress it to prevent inflammation. But I felt some difference in my hip socket anyways, which indicates I need that mobility training along with my injury rehab before finding steps to strengthen. So I need to find some other position which doesn't compress my lumbo pelvic joint. Am I right?

[@IanMarkow]

@@mailsandymurali similar answer. There is really no way of knowing. Its easy to be honest instead of guess. This class is meant to challenge and expose deficits. Our pelvic magic intro is a way better entry point if you feel limited in hip mobility. Always a good idea to ask your physical therapist or who ever assessed you last.

[@mailsandymurali]

@@IanMarkow will try the pelvic magic video for sure👍🏽. Thank you. As far as the therapy is concerned I am managing my rehab on my own. I was a Pilates instructor for 3 years which helps me to understand things in my body. And all the medical professionals I approached had a very myopic view when it came to assessment and diagnosis. Since last one year I have been learning from PRI podcasts and to an extent I have been successful. Unfortunately we don't have PRI professionals in India.

[@IanMarkow]

Okay great. We just like to be very particular about our language as to stay in our scope. Our goal is never to replace the rehab process.

[@thatguy5358]

so... if i can't quite do all these things, will simply doing (whatever movement) as far as i can eventually make me able to move further?

[@IanMarkow]

Maybe but it definitely is not the fastest way. Best thing to do is do our assessment, take pelvic magic class 1, and the posture class. You can do that all with a free 3day trial linked below. We would love your feedback. courses.markowtrainingsystems.com/courses/elite-video-membership

[@thatguy5358]

@@IanMarkow what does this class do? diagnose and prescribe?

[@IanMarkow]

@@thatguy5358 It would be so much easier for you to just see it. It does not diagnose as nothing on the internet does or should. There is a self-assessment tutorial and plenty of guidance. You can join the FB group where we answer questions also.

[@Sent2earth4HisStory]

Ian, for a beginner ( who doesn’t have time to watch this through atm ... ) Is this particular session something that one can do for days - for a long length of time? Or is it best to mix it up with other Kinstretch workouts? Also.... can you tell me how this differs from Hyperbolic stretching? Thanks!

[@IanMarkow]

Joyce R you can definitely do this class more than once. I would work on CARs consistently to start. I have never heard of hyperbolic stretching so I can’t say anything about it.

What's the difference between kinstretch and yoga?

[@IanMarkow]

Hey jake, depends what your definition of yoga is. Did you do this class? I would love to hear what you felt about it especially in relation to yoga.

[@nickswilson2707]

This was AMAZING! Thank u so much! The cues are really specific and I love that! Thank you! Is it normal for this to feel like an actual workout haha I was exhausted after. Should I be stretching after this? How should this be included into my exercise schedule? Daily?

[@IanMarkow]

Nicks Wilson thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you watching. The Kinstretch program comes with an assessment so it’s hard to say what you should do without that. This would also dictate your next question. At least do the CARs everyday and when your ready progress to the Level 1 Program. MarkowTrainingSystems.thinkific.com

When doing full shoulder cars do you keep scapular depressed or elevated?

[@JordZenFit]

Ben Brooker neutralize it

[@IanMarkow]

let it move. They should work together. locking your scapulas down or anywhere will take away shoulder joint ROM. If that is the intent then sure but that's so specific for no reason. Think about the x on the bicep more than your scaps.

[@IanMarkow]

Thanks for commenting! Where is neutral? Why neutralize it? Once neutralized does is stay there?

[@jmul7445]

Nice information. But I believe it's available at a fraction of the price on other providers. I believe kit Laughlin is a nice ressource for example. Seems like a lot covered here is also covered there. Also, once you understand the principles, you can create everything you need. Kit is very good at providing you the principles along with the method. I am not sponsored, I just happen to know kit's work years ago and stumbled on kinstretch. Thought maybe something new and 'revolutionary' but I don't see that or maybe I am missing something.

[@IanMarkow]

Hey thanks for watching. I am familiar with Kits Work. Similar to his work I think it’s pretty unrealistic to make that judgement off of a sample class or even a KZbin channel. I am glad you have found success with Kit and invite you to try the program in order to have a significant understanding of what we do. The program is extremely detailed and goes far beyond what you will find on the internet as free. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have and enjoy your day.

[@jmul7445]

@@IanMarkow Hello Ian, Thanks for answering :) I am indeed curious to see what Kinstretch has to offer given your anwer. I was a bit provocative to see what you would answer. The main objective of Kinstretch is admirable : getting people ready to train and perform without injuries is paramount. I have years of sport under my belt and have suffered a lot of different injuries over the years. I have therefore browsed a lot of different ressources (books, seminars, workshops, youtube, ...) to increase my knowledge of training methodology and avoid injuries and be able to enjoy training until I am 60yo+. I therefore already know (I believe) a fair amount of principles regarding training, stretching & mobility. Altough even with all of this, I still have flaws in my body. Be sure I will give it a shot :)

[@IanMarkow]

We look forward to having you join our community. Don’t feel like you need to be provocative for a response just patience as I always respond to everything across several platforms. Have a great day

[@KrisJTerry]

How do you balance Kinstretch or daily C.A.R. stretches with normal weightlifting workouts?

[@IanMarkow]

Kristopher Terry daily CARs don’t miss a day. Anything else should be based off of an assessment. The Kinstetch programs come with one and so does 8 week individualized program. MarkowTrainingSystems.com

[@RubyRedDances]

The seated series looks an awful lot like ELDOA...

[@IanMarkow]

Hey Ruby! Thats cool. I did a session with someone in NYC a few years back and it was tough. I have heard good things about ELDOA but never went any further than that session. Your ... leads me to believe you are trying to say something? Instead of guessing I figured I would just ask. Thanks for your comment.

[@jimharwood8153]

Not supposed to be in internal rotation with your arm/shoulder over 90 degrees due to potential impingement issues.

[@IanMarkow]

Jim Harwood hey Jim. If this was true how come I have never experienced any shoulder impingement?

[@AlexGarcia-dj5gk]

Yes , but only if they have impingement, but doing it will not give someone shoulder impingement .

[@jerrysalazar3901]

Those individuals who have had years of bad breathing patterns and poor posture would probably experience symptoms but most healthy living adults should not have any issues.
