Getting tired, okay, 00:10:13.53\00:10:19.93 alright let's go back into the squat. 00:10:19.96\00:10:21.90 I trained Richard and when we first had him 00:10:26.67\00:10:29.45 start doing some squats or and well lunges mainly, 00:10:29.48\00:10:33.42 they were a little bit awkward for him. 00:10:33.45\00:10:34.93 So, he has been working on him and he has got 00:10:34.96\00:10:37.47 quite a bit better at them. 00:10:37.50\00:10:38.60 As you are doing your squat, 00:10:43.21\00:10:44.69 think about the Gluteus Maximus because 00:10:44.72\00:10:47.17 that's important to be focusing on 00:10:47.20\00:10:48.50 as you using those muscles. 00:10:48.53\00:10:50.31 If you just thinking about using the quadriceps 00:10:50.34\00:10:52.52 then that's how you gonna getting out of it. 00:10:52.55\00:10:54.13 You wanna think about the gluteus maximus 00:10:54.16\00:10:56.05 to get the maximum out of your, 00:10:56.08\00:10:57.75 out of what you are trying to do there. 00:10:57.79\00:10:59.37 Okay, let's do that 10 more. 00:11:00.33\00:11:01.51 And 5 more, chest up, chest up keep the chest up. 00:11:09.06\00:11:13.32 Okay, we gonna some side lunges up to the side, 00:11:18.69\00:11:22.09 back to the middle, up to the side, 00:11:22.12\00:11:24.29 back to the middle, up to the side, 00:11:24.32\00:11:26.36 back to the middle, 00:11:26.39\00:11:27.40 this is working on the adductors 00:11:32.40\00:11:34.38 and the abductors as well as still keeping 00:11:34.41\00:11:37.67 the legs in motion. So, we are trying to 00:11:37.70\00:11:39.82 get some aerobic effect here. 00:11:39.85\00:11:41.39 So, we are not stopping and resting, 00:11:41.87\00:11:43.40 we are just continuing to go one exercise 00:11:43.43\00:11:45.81 after the other. 00:11:45.84\00:11:46.81 Okay you fellows keep going. 00:11:51.31\00:11:52.76 Okay good, alright speed it up just little bit, 00:11:56.48\00:12:01.25 bad backs are cause for a number of reasons 00:12:09.41\00:12:11.66 posture is certainly big part of it. 00:12:11.69\00:12:14.07 When you lose that lower thoracic curvature 00:12:14.55\00:12:17.47 and certainly strengthening 00:12:17.86\00:12:19.01 gluteus maximus will help 00:12:19.04\00:12:20.60 and of course one of the major factors 00:12:20.63\00:12:22.84 and back problems for man is it there too much 00:12:22.87\00:12:26.17 abdominal weight and as they started losing 00:12:26.20\00:12:29.25 weight of abdomen. They will start having 00:12:29.28\00:12:32.18 this back strain or just weak abdominal muscles. 00:12:32.21\00:12:35.05 When we take a muscle and you wanna make it 00:12:35.08\00:12:37.41 strong make sure the other side 00:12:37.44\00:12:39.60 of the muscle that were the antagonistic muscle 00:12:39.63\00:12:41.51 is strong so the case of the low back 00:12:41.54\00:12:43.33 that would be your abdomen 00:12:43.36\00:12:44.77 and for the abdomen your lower back. 00:12:44.80\00:12:46.56 So, would have good strong lower back muscles 00:12:47.31\00:12:49.28 you also wanna to strong abdomen. 00:12:49.31\00:12:51.35 Okay, let's just go into step in place. 00:12:51.49\00:12:53.39 Step in place, 00:12:54.57\00:12:55.54 and one of the thing it will looks be 00:13:02.76\00:13:04.29 exploring in just a few movements here. 00:13:04.32\00:13:06.10 One of things you man battle with 00:13:06.55\00:13:08.18 for a back problems, lack of flexibility 00:13:08.21\00:13:10.86 in their hamstring area. So, we're doing a 00:13:11.25\00:13:13.89 little stretching along with the rest of our 00:13:13.92\00:13:16.30 program here for that area. 00:13:16.33\00:13:17.94 Alright let's speed it up a little bit. 00:13:22.03\00:13:23.80 Since the program is dealing with 00:13:24.76\00:13:26.32 low back we are making sure one foot is staying 00:13:26.35\00:13:28.97 on the ground at all time. 00:13:29.00\00:13:30.14 We are not going into a running motion 00:13:30.17\00:13:32.28 because we are trying to 00:13:32.36\00:13:34.01 keep away from any jogging. 00:13:34.43\00:13:35.57 In fact, Richard I believe you said before that 00:13:35.60\00:13:37.42 if you get too much jogging you does 00:13:37.45\00:13:39.28 hurt your back. Yes it does. 00:13:39.31\00:13:40.45 If you do fine as long as it will keep 00:13:40.48\00:13:41.74 you well grounded. Yeah.

Okay, 00:13:48.17\00:13:50.57 and if you do it's probably because 00:13:50.98\00:13:52.49 strained it somehow doing something 00:13:52.52\00:13:54.44 that you might not have done 00:13:54.47\00:13:56.29 like riding a motorcycle at breakneck speeder 00:13:56.95\00:13:59.39 or something like, crashing, crashing. 00:13:59.97\00:14:02.19 I will start the writings of problems in crashing. 00:14:02.22\00:14:04.01 Okay, that's like the thing what people say 00:14:04.04\00:14:07.84 you are afraid of flying, no crashing, landing. 00:14:07.87\00:14:10.52 Okay, slow it down, when you slow down 00:14:13.43\00:14:16.69 let's try and make nice big steps. 00:14:16.72\00:14:18.46 Way up, very good, not to get more help 00:14:18.82\00:14:23.51 with the range of motion. 00:14:23.54\00:14:24.79 Sometimes back problems will cause 00:14:25.14\00:14:27.10 totally unrelated to what they 00:14:27.13\00:14:30.10 think we think they are. 00:14:30.13\00:14:31.30 One time I was coming out to do Body and Spirit 00:14:31.33\00:14:33.88 I was having some problems with my back 00:14:33.97\00:14:36.16 and I was going to chiropractic care 00:14:36.19\00:14:38.35 and I seen all the restless step 00:14:38.38\00:14:39.80 you can think about nothing was helping me 00:14:39.83\00:14:41.69 and I came out to do the show 00:14:41.72\00:14:43.56 and I was just have a such a problem 00:14:43.59\00:14:45.29 after the first day of taping I thought 00:14:45.32\00:14:47.07 I would have to stop.
