I have no idea why I'm just now seeing that you uploaded a video 2 days later. However I'm a glass half full kinda person so at least I watched it! - But I have questions. In your demonstration of the glute bridge I've noticed that your arms are at a 90 degree angle with your elbows at your side. Are you using the elbows at your side to help lift up into the glute bridge? If so then that may be why I have struggled with that in the past. Oddly enough one time I even had my feet slip out from under me. But I blame that on being both barefoot and on a carpet. Also if someone has bone on bone arthritis in both knees are there other exercises besides lunges and squats to do or should they just be avoided? My orthopedic said to let pain be my guide. And if something hurts then not to do it. But getting out of bed in the morning, getting up out of a chair, walking both up and down the stairs to get to my apartment, getting in and out of a car, walking my dog and walking in general hurts to do them. But I still do them. So that whole -Don't do things that cause pain- advice isn't sound advice. I apologize for the lengthy comment but when I came up with exercises to do it left me with upper body exercises, ab work (which I thoroughly enjoy) and the glute bridge, hip thrust, donkey kick and whatever that thing is called where you're in the donkey kick position but you keep one leg straight and you raise your left up and bring it back down towards the opposite side of the body. I call it a straight leg donkey rainbow but I know I'm wrong in my terminology. Lol. Again, sorry for the long comment but I am not sure how to work around these issues.

Depending upon your size, sometimes even simple things are out of reach. Me: started at 403. Now at 301. With just intermittent fasting and walking. But now my knee hurts. So I cut out walking and just dropped weight with IF. But I want to start some type of program. Every time I try to start again, the knee flares up. So, I'm going to see a chiropractor this afternoon to see if my alignment is off and hopefully help. My advice for those -large- people. slow and easy. If you can get in a pool, do it. If you can do NON-impact exercises, do it. Jogging and jumping are probably not safe, even walking was too much stress for me.

I wish I saw this last year. I tried to go all out ripped something in my back and it took until this summer to finally stop nagging me. Now I am doing things the right way. What you said is exactly what I learned through the time and my own experiences lol. I was under the delusion that I would become muscular in a short amount of time. Then I read deeper into it. Most of those people I see on YT are that muscular because they have been training for more than a yaar, not just 3 months. Same thing with actors. They have to sacrifice a LOT to get that way in a short time.

I-ve got hypermobility and poor proprioception. I started incorporating a pilates for hypermobility program right before I powerlift and it-s really helping me develop better mind/muscle connection. When I tell people this they usually ignore me or roll their eyes, but you-re doing so many moves in this video that I do as my -pilates warm up. - Was nice to see this. I guess I-m not crazy.

Man Cori I needed to hear this! In June I re-tore my meniscus which set me down for a couple of weeks. I did what I could but it wasn-t near as much. I started to get back into it but my knee was a tad limited. And I had knee replacement surgery in mid August. After eight weeks of rehab I-m starting to slowly get back into things. I cannot do things I was just doing a few months ago

I concur -. I ended up having a very tight hip flexor few years ago by not warming up my glutes and I tore something in the front. My sartorius muscle was twitching and I could not walk for 3 days. Of course the IT band was hurting too. Am ok now but I do not run as much. Just turned 48 and doing other routines at the gym. Love your videos - thanks so much.

I have a hard time listening to my body. until it-s too late and I-m injured! Thank you for reminding me that I MUST maintain the foundational exercises, and for helping me dial back the intensity in favor of consistency!

And don-t forget to have your workout supervisor/distractor/coach/fur ball/ sniffer-licker close by. (Not that they-d be anywhere else - my yoga cat appears from nowhere the moment I take my mat off the shelf)

Indeed. Slow and steady wins the race. If you choose the latter, and go wild, Snap City. You will not see the gym for awhile. Worst case scenario, it may squash the desire to train.
PS: I love that puppy.
