Tom, can you please let us have some more standing core for those of us that can't get down to the floor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a palatable way.

[@TheTeamDGL]

I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that, every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something about an exercise I've been doing for ages

[@TomMorrison]

😂😂 I know what you mean!

[@shoa4566]

Giggling while doing core exercising takes it up a notch for certain.

[@lyndan438]

Thank you again!!❤ This is by far the best channel, sooo glad I found you. I appreciate the detailed explanations, love the humor 😆 you guys are just the best!

[@TomMorrison]

Love to hear that!!! Thanks so much! 🙏

[@chiaraugolini9651]

"Core, not bore!" Yeas pleazzzz ;)) Thanks for the insights... Looking forward to the SMM Teacher Training course, hopefully soon... It's time to create your squad of qualified Minions and unleash them Tom!

[@ArticulateArena]

Ok. now how do i strengthen my weak moral fibers?

[@iimmannii]

Moral tension.

[@TomMorrison]

LMAO!

[@wendyhale2189]

Shredded wheat.

[@hannamtun]

Thanks! Shaky pallof presses completed ☑️

[@chrismackerdush7728]

Thanks Tom, great point!

[@TomMorrison]

You're so welcome! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@suev4143]

Blimey! Tried these exercises and I can feel the difference already. These are being added to my workout regimen. Very cool (not as cool as a hand weight in the fridge, though) to the core. Thanks 👍

[@TomMorrison]

Haha love a good analogy 😎

[@lifefitnesswithHelen]

Wonderful Tom, I love the way you bring Pilates principles into your training 😉

[@daveowsley6210]

Tried your side plank with the core tension prior to lifting. those are more difficult and I could definitely feel it. thanks. Slower Pallof presses also could be felt. the preloading of the band makes a difference.

[@eleanormcmurray9439]

Tennis ball with band around the door frame, u mentioned before, really works 🎉

[@TomMorrison]

It’s a great hack yeah!!

[@victoriadavis4191]

Save time, make more progress... How can you got wrong??? Love you guys!!

[@TomMorrison]

Always love learning little tweaks that give you more from exercises 😍

[@minaesmailiaghababa4447]

Thank you again❤❤❤

[@TomMorrison]

Always welcome!! I love reminding myself of this too as it’s easy to get complacent with some moves you do regularly!

[@TuzeTea]

Thanks for the great explanation! There's been so many times I've looked for videos that were supposed to help release tension and strengthen areas of my body but then I ended up feeling worse or getting no benefit and I'd discover later I was just going through the motions not actually engaging the area properly. I find a lot of people making videos take for granted that newbies such as myself don't have the previous experience or may not have watched other videos that were supposed to have built up to that one where we would have known proper posture or engaging our bits and bobs.

[@TomMorrison]

Yes this is all the stuff that held me back so much when I first started and eventually ended up to me getting injured waaaaay more than I should have because I was cheating a lot of things!

[@TuzeTea]

@@TomMorrison Well, now that I've got you and Jenny I won't be cheating - my bad form will be depleting... I think I'll leave the puns to you 😅

[@emilymcmahon5930]

Having never planked I'm glad I learnt how to do it properly first LoL Love it!

[@TomMorrison]

Awesome! Will be so helpful for you!!!

[@nohandlenohandlenohandle]

"Did Tom just take a dumbbell out of his fridge??" **rewinds** "Yep, he sure did." 🤣🤣

[@TomMorrison]

😂😂😂 I’d forgot about that bit!

[@JorissenJan]

Where else would you keep them???

[@JennWatson]

I identify with the thumbnail! 😂

[@bryanwillson1615]

Love this!!

[@KathyRea01]

Hi tom, I have arthritis in my hands so I struggle with downward dog and plank.. have you any workarounds for this?

[@Sunnivah13]

..for everyone having read Stewart McGill: BRACE!

[@ukwarrior89]

For an advanced pallof press, try laying sideways on a 45 degree hyperextension machine with your hip bones above the polster, and do the pressing motion with a weight.

[@JKruger007]

Holy crap this is great once again! (can I say crap here?well moderator can delete the crap afterwards if it bothers😬)these little nuances makes whole difference and really this really hard but working exercise. Thank you again, we are not worthy your majesty

[@aryktube]

Thnx for these videos

[@TomMorrison]

Our pleasure!!

[@donna8243]

What if Jenny did some rotation on the pallof press....wouldn't that work the core more?

[@TomMorrison]

Pallof is anti rotation so would be a different principle, this one is covering more isometric tension strength not moving core strength 😄 still good to do tho yes!

[@Chaychay23]

That plank really hits differently 😂

[@TomMorrison]

I know right! 😍

[@EmorettaRobinson]

A very long time ago I worked at a company that was owned by an Irishman named Ian. Up until now I couldn't place your accent. It reminds me of his. All though when I once told someone about him they said if he was Irish his name would have been Ey-an and not Ee-an. But I am confident that man knew how to pronounce his own name. Lol. Anyway I'm glad that you showed some core moves that I could do. I recently had a knee replacement surgery 2 weeks ago. The day after surgery I was asking my physical therapist when I can do kettlebell swings again? I'm told maybe 6 weeks after surgery but only the motion not with weight. Which, no lie, kinda saddens me. But the pallof press looks like something that I can do. Thanks for that.

[@TomMorrison]

After the 6 weeks (I’d probably lean more towards 8) you’ll be able to start light things again and it’s just a case of building up, our delicate knees follow along would be a good one to check out for when you’re ready to return to exercise

[@EmorettaRobinson]

@@TomMorrison I really have only been working out regularly since 2022. At my heaviest I was 358.4 lbs. I'm 5'3". If you are in the U.K. I don't know what that is in kg or how that is measured there. I've lost over 165 lbs. I didn't know it before but I ate when I was angry, sad, frustrated, etc. I ate to comfort or soothe myself. In the last 2 years I've lost an aunt, 2 friends and recently a cousin who've died. I've also ended two friendships that were toxic and honestly were never good. I don't get a runners high or endorphin boost or feel energized after working out. But working out helps me process things. It takes my mind off problems or issues. And helps me to clearly think through things. So instead of being focused on the problem I end up finding a better solution. And it's a good de-stressor. So 6 weeks without that seems like a long time to me. But I get that it was a major surgery and my body needs time to recover. I've just been wondering what can I do to help me during this time? I have started physical and occupational therapy. But other than that it's not like there's a huge amount of videos on "how to workout, or move, or what to do while recovering from one knee surgery while also preparing to have the other knee replaced as well" category. although that would be so helpful. I have a rebounder or mini trampoline. And had heard that someone recovered from ankle surgery while bouncing on one leg. And holding the injured leg over the side of the rebounder for 20 minutes a day. I didn't last a whole minute and a half doing that. So whoever was able to do that was truly strong. So I'm just tinkering with things in an attempt to see what I can do safely. The good thing is that in the last two weeks my Dr's have taken me off two medications. A day after the surgery my blood pressure kept being low. Meaning 88/52. I've had high blood pressure for 20 years. That top number was always over 150 for the majority of that time. I didn't even know there was such a thing as low blood pressure. But at the hospital and at the rehabilitation center that I was at for 10 days my blood pressure was either normal or low. So it was discovered that I no longer needed 2 of the meds I was taking for high blood pressure. So I'm counting that as a win. Btw, I apologize for the long comment. I just thought it might add some context to my situation.

[@MrJegerjeg]

No sabía que las mancuernas se guardaban en el frigorífico 😀

[@emmaeIIe]

Yeah, side plank felt different for sure. Did you really take a dumbbell out of your fridge? 😂

[@TomMorrison]

I don’t like when the handles are all warm 🤷‍♂️

[@anniwilson2534]

Great tips! I work on effort level of shaking like shitting dog 😂

[@TomMorrison]

Hahaha love that cue!!! 🤣🤣

[@ringpolitiet]

I already have a supremely weak core, thanks though

[@soltanakouider5922]

thks

[@pjb70549]

These exercises are great BUT I don't have a place to attach a strength band. I live in a condo not a gym. lol. The other is great. 1 out of 2. Is there another core exercise that doesn't need a band?

[@TomMorrison]

You can do it like this also, just grab high up the band to get the tension kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bSdmmko7qkia8si=359tvWUi2DKJwTQl

[@danbradbury4067]

Love it

[@kamalaniwillis469]

Weakness

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

You can achieve the same thing by riding a bike and standing on the pedals.

[@TomMorrison]

Mmmmm, not really

[@ilkyway5854]

This is not core this is bore 😂😂😂

[@TomMorrison]

Some people say I’m not cool, but I beg to differ with phrases like that 😎🤣
