We sit at a computer, drive, spend hours looking down at our phones, recover from surgeries or accidents, suffer from various diseases that prevent us from being athletic not to mention the regular and repetitive daily activities that come with our parental or work responsibilities.
We can’t keep doing the things we did in our twenties to stay in shape because as we get older, we need to accommodate for these life changes.
I have been in fitness my entire life and even I can’t do the things I used to in my 20’s, (nor do I want to!). But I’m still fit and strong and still try to achieve my life and fitness goals – so I need to work with how my body is NOW and for me that means minimal impact exercise. Running is a great way to lose weight, but it hurts my joints. So I have created a better method, which can get me back to running again, if that’s what I choose to do.
Understanding muscle imbalances and why we experience pain is the key to a balanced and holistic lifestyle. It’s vital to find safe and progressive tools to take the body from a pain state to a level of strength and flexibility.
Driving or sitting all day creates tight muscles in the lower back and inactive muscles in the glutes. These inactive muscles stop doing their job, which creates nerve impingement, resulting in pain! Quite simply, to move from a place of discomfort and limitations to restored movement and strength, you need to lengthen the muscles that are tight and tighten the muscles that are loose!!
And this is the focus in the No Burpees Method
You need to understand the exercises that could be compromising your vulnerable areas for examples – BURPEES… We hate them for a reason! They are hard on almost every joint in your body, if the muscles, supporting your joints, are not properly firing, then there is a high risk of injury.
Everyone is unique but with my method can help identify the vulnerable areas and recognize the muscles that need work and the ones that need more flexibility.
