I cannot stress enough the importance of the -arrow shape- Cori mentioned for push-ups. It may be easier to flare out your elbows (T-shape) but this is not a safe position for the shoulder, which is a weak and unstable joint. Lots of people get injured doing push-us and bench presses with flared elbows. If the arrow position is too hard, there is no shame in using a wall or bench (as shown in the video) to make it easier.
Also, using a wall for the hip hinge is probably the best tip I've come across when teaching others how to correctly hinge. It's more important to go -back- instead of -down- so you don't injure your lower back. This is especially true for high-waisted, short-torso people like me; getting my torso parallel to the ground is hard to do without rounding my back--but this doesn't matter as long as the glutes are extended behind you!

I just binge watched your videos. I-m I-m menopause have the belly weight gain and want to do the body recomp. Without going into details I live on IV fluid as my food. 1400 calories currently and my md raised the protein so I could work out. What is the best way for me to achieve recomp? Weight training? I have resistance bands and am eyeing the total gym. What do you recommend? I-ve done yoga and piyo so have flexibility but not sure what to do that is easy and something I can do that gets results. Want arms like yours so bad!

Hi Corey!
Does frog bridge target the glutes more so than regular bride?
I suffer from SAS [ sleepy ass syndrome ], even though I'm very active [ bike, climb, yoga, lift ]. I can't figure out why my glutes keep falling asleep on me. it's as if they are narcoleptic. It might be my age? [60]
and I've had a few injuries in the area.
The split squat with a block is new to me!
Thank you kindly as always!

Cori your -sometimes you've got to regress to progress- is some of the wisest words out there. And I never thought of the bulldog as something that can be done if you are having issues doing squats because of your knees. But that makes so much sense though. Thank you for that and for the adorably funny image of your dog chasing it's tail and falling over. That was just hilarious in the cutest way. -

Also what kind of shoes you rocking and do they make men's - I have a weakness for workout apparel. -

This is pure gold, exactly what I need right now to start training again. All the key concepts are there: regress to progress, mind-body connection, recruitment patterns, fundamental moves. Thank you so much Cori! You-re awesome!

Could this series of moves be used together as a workout for a while as we're trying to get our body back in here? Also, any suggestions if we do not have access to being able to do an inverted row?

Thank you Cori! I'm on the recovery side of 6 weeks out with Lyme and was struggling to return to my normal workouts. I did a modified version of your workout this morning and it was perfect. - Larry

I have got to try to get started again. I am a beginner. When I saw Adele, I thought its possible if you don't give up. So at 57, I am starting again. I want a stronger body.

Nice subtle tips on improving mobility and strength. I will try these because my left hand wrist pains between radius and scaphoid after doing intensive exercises.
