This 'hallway' thought process is great, I finally understand. Thankyou so much for sharing!

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@noahmaliko3809]

I cannot thank u enough. The hallway example hit a homerun. I been struggling understanding this for a long timr

[@hletto2]

Seriously.... I've been leading fitness for 25 years with a variety of national certs. I've never heard the planes of motion described so perfectly! Thank you!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Wow. Thanks!

[@alibinabdullah5052]

The hallway analogy was spot on! I appreciate you! Thanks!

[@Pilateswithemma]

I just could not get my head around the planes whilst revising for my anatomy exam. Watched this once and it’s finally clicked. Thank you so much 👏🏻

[@Gfilmed]

DUDE the Pop quizzes help a lot!!! Keep doing them

[@TheRav3n]

Mannnnnn I could not get this to click in my head… except until I watched this video… the narrow hallway analogy helped!

You’re welcome!

[@antiquemuzik8864]

Thanks!

[@antiquemuzik8864]

You damn right this video was helpful! That was a tough pop quiz, but I got all three correct. Chapter 2 of the book gives good examples of planes of motion, but not as challenging as your pop quiz.

[@catnmouse482]

I'm taking a professional trainer course and struggling with the material. Your videos help me understand everything. Thank you!

[@sorinmb]

Great information! Especially the importance of training all planes of movement for a strong strength foundation.

[@laurencaleb7780]

Thank you! I have been having the hardest time trying to understand this.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Glad the video helped!

[@speak2thesoul242]

WOW number three is a great question.

[@BodyByCamz]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been studying this for ages and on paper it just does not make sense! For the first time I’ve been able to correctly answer which plane of motion an exercise is in!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Yes🙌🏼
