FIVE MOST EFFECTIVE EXERCISES
How to stay healthy by doing simple exercises
Hello, everyone, I see a lot of injuries throughout my day and
a lot of these are sure your sprains and strains and your bumps and your
bruises it's really interesting the majority of patients actually all have
problems directly related to reconditioning people are just weak they're just
not working out there just not exercising their muscles in the ways that they
need to and so what I wanted to do is shoot a quick video for you today and
explain to you five exercises that I feel like everyone should do every day
these are going to strengthen the major muscles in your core your upper body
your lower body they're super easy to do really about ten minutes worth of
exercise a day it's really gonna go a long way in helping you to prevent injury
and helping you to stay a little bit more functional so we'll get right into it
right now, this will help you to stay healthy.
First exercise
1. The first exercise is
gonna be for your core specifically for your back and for your butt you're
gonna lay down on your back and we're gonna do some bridges lie on your back
with your knees bent from here what you're gonna do is you're going to contract
your glute muscles and then you're going to use those to lift your hips up off
to the floor hold it for about a three-second count and then lower it back down
squeeze the butt tighten up and lift up just like this again this is a great
exercise for your glutes super important your hips in just movement in general
but especially in spine stability, you're also going to fill this one in your
lower back as you do these bridges up and down three sets of ten is a good a place to start with this one that's what the bridge looks like.
Second exercise
2. The next one that I
like is gonna be the bird dog okay so for this one you're gonna be down on all
fours and what you do is you're gonna take your left leg straight back while
extending your right arm straight forward not to fall there we go looks just like that
and then return to that starting position now we're gonna alternate left arm the right leg looks just like that this is another great exercise I give this one
to low back pain patients, all the time really helps to improve that core
stability, as you're working reciprocal muscle groups meaning your left arm, is
reaching for my right leg is kicking backward it's a great way to just to
activate the spine muscles that are gonna stabilize your back and again about 3
sets of 10 is a good number to shoot for there.
Third exercise
3. The next one that I
like is gonna be a plank so you're gonna be down on your elbows and toes that are gonna be a full plank if that's a little bit too difficult modified is gonna be
on your knees but what I'm looking for is you're up on your toes I'm looking
for a straight line from your shoulders hips knees ankles okay some people will
hold it up here others will kind of let their back sag hopefully hips are
actually below shoulders and knees right
now what you want to do is try and keep your core nice and tight try to keep
your stomach muscles nice and tight to hold that back or hold that plank in a
straight as straight in position as possible looks just like that I would say a good number to shoot for on this would be three reps if you're a beginner and a
twenty to thirty seconds if it's more intermediate thirty to sixty seconds if
they're your more advanced sixty seconds plus be a great way to just activate
some of your stomach and core muscles.
Fourth exercise
4. Number four is going
to be some push-ups probably one of my favorite bodyweights exercises no
equipment required on this a great way to work the core the shoulders chest and
the arms so we're going to get down into that push-up position and again you
can do modified push-up if you need to drop down onto your knees so even that
tall push-up position slowly lower your chest down to the ground and then use your
arms to push right back up into that starting position looks just like that and
three sets of ten would be a good number to shoot for your push-ups.
Fifth exercise
5. The last exercise
that we're going to be doing is just some simple air squats what that looks
like stand with your feet shoulder-width apart try to keep your heels on the
ground and then you're going to lower your butt down toward your heels try to
keep your back straight and then return up to that starting position and so
that's what an air squat looks like
keeping your back straight you don’t have to lean too far forward you
can see my weight is on my heels when I get down here I should still be able to
wiggle my toes if you can't you're too far up onto your heels could be potentially
damaging to your knees and so air squats great exercise for the legs we're
using a lot of the quads using a lot in the butt because you're kind of up and
down into that squat position looks just like that so there oh and then about
three sets of ten on the push-ups three sets of ten on the
air squats as well and there you have them seriously takes maybe ten minutes
out of your day to do it you're really going to help yourself as far as staying
off injury and promoting function promoting strength.
