Just going to do a static contraction here. 00:04:05.62\00:04:09.96 And now let's move the hands out away from us. 00:04:09.97\00:04:12.53 Keep the pressure on, hold it tight out there. 00:04:12.54\00:04:17.78 Okay, let's draw it back in towards us. 00:04:17.79\00:04:20.35 Put it up in a little prayer type position and push hard. 00:04:20.36\00:04:25.11 Push hard at the whole hand, dominate the palm area. 00:04:25.12\00:04:30.08 Once again the harder you push, 00:04:30.09\00:04:32.08 the more you get out of it. 00:04:32.09\00:04:35.37 Okay, relax. Okay, sitting from the side here, 00:04:35.38\00:04:39.54 we're gonna just raise our arms up at the side, back down. 00:04:39.55\00:04:43.85 We're now focusing on the shoulder area, 00:04:49.08\00:04:52.16 on the trapezius, which is the muscles coming off 00:04:52.17\00:04:56.30 the neck on each side. 00:04:56.31\00:04:59.33 Okay, now let's go to the front. 00:04:59.34\00:05:04.35 Now working at frontal aspect of the shoulders. 00:05:04.36\00:05:10.54 Okay, now what we're going to do is put a little variation to it. 00:05:10.55\00:05:12.73 We're gonna alternate it. 00:05:12.74\00:05:14.38 Just make it come up and down. 00:05:14.39\00:05:19.35 This can also be done with dumbbells, 00:05:19.36\00:05:22.10 somebody wants to add more resistance to it. 00:05:22.11\00:05:28.15 This won't be as high and intense 00:05:28.16\00:05:29.77 as some of the workouts we've done. 00:05:29.78\00:05:31.22 But once again, we're assuming 00:05:31.23\00:05:32.57 that the person doing it is having trouble getting around 00:05:32.60\00:05:36.47 or has hip pain or might even be restricted 00:05:36.48\00:05:38.86 to a wheel chair. 00:05:38.87\00:05:40.25 Okay, let's go out to side again. 00:05:44.09\00:05:45.59 By using dumbbells, we get a good effect 00:05:50.59\00:05:53.77 on this regardless of a person's strength level. 00:05:53.78\00:05:57.68 Okay, let's just hold that. 00:05:57.69\00:06:00.17 Okay, we're going to trying to hold that for 30 seconds, 00:06:00.18\00:06:02.27 Greg, as we try and get a little stimulus 00:06:02.31\00:06:04.64 with the shoulders on this. 00:06:04.68\00:06:08.44 The static hold is simply a means of totally fatiguing 00:06:08.45\00:06:12.31 the muscle fibers, in this case, 00:06:12.34\00:06:14.25 we're trying to fatigue the fast twitch fibers, 00:06:14.29\00:06:16.64 which are the strongest fibers 00:06:16.65\00:06:18.15 but also need the most time to rest. 00:06:18.16\00:06:20.59 Often times, people think that they need to do 00:06:20.60\00:06:22.40 lots of different sets, in order to get an effect 00:06:22.44\00:06:25.16 on their training, really they don't. 00:06:25.20\00:06:26.67 They simply train hard and doing what they do, 00:06:26.68\00:06:30.72 just three times a week for 20 minutes, 00:06:30.73\00:06:33.96 is all they need to do as far as strength trainer. 00:06:34.00\00:06:36.29 It's all I do nowadays, I used to do seven days a week, 00:06:36.30\00:06:38.86 four hours a day. Now it's down to about three times 00:06:38.87\00:06:40.72 a week for 20 minutes, 00:06:40.73\00:06:42.23 and maintain a high level of strength. 00:06:42.24\00:06:45.05 Okay, I think we're just got done, Greg, 00:06:45.06\00:06:47.22 how's it feeling there? Okay, 00:06:47.23\00:06:49.16 all right, let's go in for a down. 00:06:49.17\00:06:51.19 Okay, let's put, bring the arm across 00:06:51.20\00:06:53.08 and let's stretch the shoulder. 00:06:53.11\00:06:54.16 Okay, now switch to the other side. 00:07:00.60\00:07:02.64 We want a nice steady stretch, 00:07:06.19\00:07:07.56 don't want to bounce into it. 00:07:07.57\00:07:09.73 Oh, you don't want to feel yourself 00:07:09.77\00:07:11.01 going into discomfort, you just want to have a nice, 00:07:11.03\00:07:13.92 steady feel in that stretch. 00:07:13.97\00:07:16.84 Okay, let's take our towel. 00:07:16.85\00:07:18.71 Move over the head. 00:07:18.72\00:07:21.24 We're gonna bring it down to the side, 00:07:21.25\00:07:24.85 and a reverse over. 00:07:24.86\00:07:26.17 See which way you're going. 00:07:26.18\00:07:27.53 Okay, go a just a little slower, Greg. 00:07:32.78\00:07:36.14 Now this exercise, we're working 00:07:36.15\00:07:37.71 on the Latissmus Dorsi area. 00:07:37.72\00:07:39.82 So we should feel it stretching through 00:07:39.86\00:07:41.30 there each time we pull down Latissmus Dorsi. 00:07:41.31\00:07:44.00 Like the big muscles going down the side 00:07:44.01\00:07:46.43 from under the armpit, down below the ribs. 00:07:46.44\00:07:51.03 We want to give ourselves resistance both ways 00:07:56.48\00:07:58.47 as we pull hard on the towel. 00:07:58.48\00:08:00.35 Okay, let's go ten more. 00:08:05.10\00:08:08.47 There's one, and two and three, 00:08:08.48\00:08:16.10 focus on Latissmus Dorsi, 00:08:16.11\00:08:17.74 probably feeling the-- shoulders a little bit too. 00:08:17.75\00:08:19.51 Six, seven, three more times, 00:08:25.68\00:08:31.44 eight, nine, last one 00:08:31.45\00:08:37.40 and ten. Good. 00:08:37.41\00:08:39.92 Okay, let's take an arm up over the head 00:08:39.93\00:08:44.57 and we're gonna stretch the Latissmus Dorsi out. 00:08:44.58\00:08:47.47 Okay, reverse the other side. 00:08:52.87\00:08:54.47 Okay, and relax. 00:09:02.07\00:09:03.76 Okay, now what we're gonna do is we're gonna imagine 00:09:03.77\00:09:06.64 we have dumbbells in our hands, 00:09:06.65\00:09:07.75 we're gonna turn our hands palms up, 00:09:07.76\00:09:09.41 we're just gonna curl our arms up and down. 00:09:09.42\00:09:11.88 Now by doing this, we're not using any weights, 00:09:15.21\00:09:19.29 so one might assume that it's really simple. 00:09:19.30\00:09:22.46 But if you do it properly and you really focus 00:09:22.47\00:09:25.10 on what you're doing, you can still make the arms work 00:09:25.11\00:09:28.93 even though you're not using any weights. 00:09:28.94\00:09:31.57 You can still flex your arms hard, just squeeze up. 00:09:31.58\00:09:36.29 So basically you're creating the resistance for yourself, 00:09:36.30\00:09:38.70 you're acting like there's still weights in your hands 00:09:38.71\00:09:42.27 and you're doing curls. 00:09:42.28\00:09:44.11 So, you're flexing the biceps each time you curl up. 00:09:44.12\00:09:50.10 And as we curl up, we wanna turn our, 00:09:50.11\00:09:52.32 turn out hand out a little bit 00:09:52.33\00:09:54.59 which is called supination. 00:09:54.60\00:09:57.25 So now as we're trying to touch our pinky 00:09:57.26\00:10:00.08 to our shoulder if our arm would go up that high. 00:10:00.09\00:10:03.49 Okay, let's go from that position 00:10:03.50\00:10:06.37 to the up position now. 00:10:06.38\00:10:08.05 And reach out and squeeze down. 00:10:08.06\00:10:09.75 We're going to get a good reach out on that 00:10:20.79\00:10:22.13 and a good contraction as we flex the arms down. 00:10:22.14\00:10:24.55 Let's do two more. Good. 00:10:28.52\00:10:35.91 Okay. We need our towels again, 00:10:35.92\00:10:37.89 we can do our triceps exercise 00:10:37.90\00:10:40.56 from the seated position, we're gonna pull down 00:10:40.57\00:10:42.39 and press back up, extending the arm all the way up. 00:10:42.40\00:10:47.24 Okay, let's do three more. 00:10:57.82\00:10:59.59 And one more time. 00:11:03.54\00:11:05.99 Okay, switch the other side. 00:11:06.00\00:11:07.64 Let's go five more here. 00:11:15.55\00:11:19.27 There's one, two three, four, 00:11:19.28\00:11:25.77 last one coming up five, good. 00:11:25.78\00:11:29.14 Okay, now for those who are just using a chair, 00:11:29.15\00:11:32.59 we can do a modification of our triceps exercise, 00:11:32.60\00:11:36.93 you can go ahead and put your towel down. If you're obviously 00:11:36.94\00:11:39.10 in a wheel chair, you won't be able to do this. 00:11:39.11\00:11:40.40 But we can come off the chair 00:11:40.41\00:11:43.00 and low ourselves down and push up. 00:11:43.01\00:11:46.65 These are called bench steps. 00:11:46.66\00:11:48.00 This is a little more advanced exercise, 00:11:52.45\00:11:55.19 but an excellent one for the triceps area. 00:11:55.20\00:12:00.07 Okay, let's do five more and two more. 00:12:00.08\00:12:06.76 Okay, good. Also you can do those with bent knees, 00:12:09.17\00:12:14.21 why don't you do a few more of those. 00:12:14.22\00:12:15.53 Greg can down them with the bent knee. 00:12:15.54\00:12:17.74 Bring it more to a 90 degree bend. 00:12:17.75\00:12:19.83 Okay, now when you do the dip you can actually 00:12:19.84\00:12:23.04 assist yourself with the legs, 00:12:23.05\00:12:24.46 to make it a little bit easier. 00:12:24.47\00:12:27.36 Okay, good. Now the reason why I arranged these chairs, 00:12:27.37\00:12:32.82 if you're just tuning in, as we're dealing with people 00:12:32.83\00:12:35.01 who might have hip problems. 00:12:35.02\00:12:36.55 So we're gonna start focusing on that now. 00:12:36.56\00:12:39.13 And we're gonna start by just putting our legs out 00:12:39.14\00:12:42.23 straight and contracting the muscles and the legs, 00:12:42.24\00:12:46.99 as bestwe can. We're gonna spread the legs apart now. 00:12:47.00\00:12:50.27 Come back in. 00:12:50.28\00:12:51.78 Any time we deal with hip pain, 00:12:58.36\00:13:00.64 there are lots of muscles we need to focus on. 00:13:00.65\00:13:03.54 Most hip pain is either gonna be caused 00:13:03.55\00:13:05.66 from an arthritic type condition 00:13:05.67\00:13:08.86 or it's gonna be caused from an osteopathic type condition, 00:13:08.87\00:13:13.62 or it can be from an injury. 00:13:13.63\00:13:15.75 Or it could be some connective tissue problems. 00:13:15.76\00:13:20.55 Regardless of what the root cause is, 00:13:20.56\00:13:23.70 often times hip pain is merely caused 00:13:23.71\00:13:26.34 from lack of movement, weakness of the muscles, 00:13:26.35\00:13:31.15 and improper circulation. 00:13:31.16\00:13:34.35 Okay, we start back with our feet apart a little bit, 00:13:34.36\00:13:37.75 now we're just gonna turn the toes in and turn them out. 00:13:37.76\00:13:40.64 There are rotators in the hip. 00:13:44.37\00:13:46.08 That's what called the six deep lateral rotators 00:13:46.09\00:13:48.84 of the hip and they're all underneath 00:13:48.85\00:13:52.71 the gluteus maximus muscle. 00:13:52.72\00:13:55.68 But all very important for hip stabilizing, 00:13:55.69\00:13:58.81 there are muscles specifically just designed 00:13:58.84\00:14:00.63 to hold your hip in a proper area. 00:14:00.64\00:14:02.15 So we're just trying to focus on those areas right now. 00:14:05.47\00:14:07.92 Okay.
