I'm 42 yrs old and have been training for over 20 years now. My body can't get away with half the things it once could anymore. Your channel is definitely keeping my physical health and safety in check. Thank you for all the great content!
Thank you so much! I turned 40 back in February and about 2 months ago I wanted to challenge myself to get healthier. Not only with my diet (I’ve really screwed myself with yo-yo dieting in the last five years and now I have to finger out a way to raise my caloric intake without gaining too much weight) but also getting stronger. I started a full body 28 day challenge that included intense ab workouts and then moved to my TRX. Throughout the challenge I was dealing with some lower back pain but once I incorporated my TRX, especially on back and biceps day my lower back pain got downright uncomfortable. I’m obviously no expert at this but I think I’m gonna give your video a try for the next few weeks and maybe do some less intense exercises on my AeroPilates rebounder. I don’t want to stop exercising and lose all my progress, it feels so good to be stronger. If I could only get rid of this lower back pain I think I would feel like I was in my 20s again. 😊
Another amazing clip that captures movements that significantly help older folk before workouts. Older athletes are guilty of rushing into their training sessions and forgetting about how their bodies are different than when they were younger. Happy to view any Redefining Strength videos on this issue. Thank you for being there for us oldies :)
Another awesome video, Cori! I just want to say thank you and let you know how much I’m enjoying this different format you’ve been doing the past few months where you do a smaller set of exercise & demonstrate/talk through them. You are such a wealth of knowledge & I love that you’ve honed in on this more (at least it seems to me) in your recent videos. You are a great teacher & I’m getting so much out of them. Thanks again!
I could watch you all day. I have had over a decade of debilitating back pain after a decade of working out with functional movement patterns. I miss it so much. I don’t know if I’ll ever be fit or pain free again but watching your videos make it easy to recall what it felt like to be the best, most authentic version of myself. That mind-body connection is key. My body has not tolerated my repeated attempts to re-wire that connection by working with different physical therapists. I hope one day I’ll be able to enjoy your workouts first hand! Cheers!
I’m glad I found your channel during lockdown! I was in PT when COVID began and had to find stretches and exercises to continue on with my lower back, hip and knee pain. Your channel has been so helpful to me. Thank you.
Liz Yu I agree. Her World’s Greatest Stretch video helped to alleviate my leg, knee and ankle pain from an out of whack SI joint while not being able to get to the chiropractor.
You're definitely one of my go to channels for inspiration and modifications, I really appreciate the quality of your content and your detailed ques, thanks
Thank you so, so, SOOO much for this!!! I have been suffering with not being able to UNengage by lower back during core and it felt like, no matter how tightly I squeezed my abs, I could do nothing about it. This is going to help tremendously!
Along with similar moves in this video, you might find foam-rolling (myofascial release) of the top of your glutes with a small, firm & rounded object will relax your lower back. You may find your glutes engage better with various activities, also. I've done this for myself so I hope it helps you.
I have just been to an Osteopath and Physio in the last 8 days due to getting sciatica in my left leg. It has stopped me exercising but your workout echoes the physio about working glutes periformis core and most of all the hamstrings. Mine were too tight causing inflammation and the rest to go out. Well done again I will work on these when better. Keep up the good work
You put so much detail and excellent pointers on the videos. I am getting better at utilizing the pointers and description. But it’s definitely not a slow workout but I am catching on. Since you do them rapidly but you do have them time stamped so it would be really helpful if you could recommend reps and sets. If you have already done so could you point out the video it’s on make one for that topic. Thx for all you’re doing! Oh I also love your attention to detail🙏
Yes indeed, great exercises. A physio recommended a flange plank variant (knees touching the ground) to help ease lower back pain when its particularly sensitive. Will give the other 6 a spin (though i think my tight hamstrings are a more likely cause of lower back pain --- dangers of a desk job). Love the 7 daily stretches vid too - really help loosen out my legs and spine.
I do get lower back pain at times and I m very excited to try your work out. Thansk a ton for such wonderful workouts.. I ll surely let u know the result n how I felt.
Very smart,educated and always has safe and correct exercises or workouts.i love her.thank you.i know alot of these but she has shown many new ones cause I have had low back n neck problems,deg disc disease,L5,S1 S1-5.osteoarthritis,
Fantastic video! I will certainly put this to good use. Former cyclist, I was hit by a car (T-boned) when training one day, this will be a good group of exercises to do (as tolerated, of course) on a regular basis - thanks so much for sharing! Your channel is a godsend!
Thank you very much for posting the videos!!! They are amazing....it started off with 7 must do stretches to now almost 30 min of all different kinds of mobility and stretches for different muscles......I have two favors to ask of you 1) can you post a video for stretching gracilis, semimebranosus and biceps femoris( I googled the names). 2) you have so many videos, they are amazing but I get drawn into each of them and my workouts are now 30 min after this lower back video I can add another 10 min.....I know you are doing this out of goodness of your heart....can you add WOD for people like me..
Hi. Will it be possible you can do the workout with the countdown. All your workouts are super...well, I can follow easily with the counts means... Can you do further video's with the count's madam
Awesome , top quality material , I really appreciate this material , and thank you i appreciate your effort and willingness to share your awesome knowledge
You are always reading my mind! I'm having some lower back pain recently. I will definitely try these out in my next workout! Thank you for your amazing contents Cori! :) P.s. Did you actually say "vomiting cat" at the end or am I just having some hearing problems? :D
My glutes are burning with this- esp the glute bridge with rocks! I couldn't do the side clam shells without compromising my shoulders- and I am to blame. My side planks haven't been good ever and my shoulders are weak. Do you suggest any modifications or alternatives?
I often have back pain, will try these out for sure. Just recently found your channel and subscribed, I love your content on here...keep up the great work.
Good morning Cory! Hope my message finds you doing well. I have a question for you. I'm Pilates trained and we were taught to keep the heels real tight (clam shell series) and our hips stacked, our teachers would come and try to separate our ankles to bring awareness to that point. Why do you suggest the modification to the foot placement? I find it interesting bc it's so different and kind of hard to know where am I supposed to feel the muscles I'm working in comparison to the regular clam. Thank you very much for sharing this video and in advance for your response. Be well and be safe ❤️🙏🥰
Hi Maria. Do you mean the internal toe rotation? Or the full abduction variation? The full abduction is to take out external rotation as the piriformis contributes to that movement and can perpetuate overuse if a client struggles with that. The foot turned down creates internal tibial rotation which prevents unwanted hip rotation AND engagement of the TFL which can also compensate for the glute medius :-) So while there are lots of deviations in form we can use to get results, I've found these two different techniques address two common compensations clients have.
@@redefiningstrengthOC Now, I get it.! I used to have clients saying I don't feel anything. 😲So what I thought would work is to put a penny between the ankles or a small rubber ball and ask the client to slightly tilt the top hip forward as the knee would go up, to kind of create a sort of resistance without having to lose the alignment that I was taught to stick with. I'd try to give this a go and see what feed back and progress I get. Thank you kindly for all your share. You are truly an inspiration 🥰👍🤗❤️❤️
M Leighland But still it’s good/important to visit your PT clinic to address your low back pain. Low back pain is not just low back pain thinking its just muscle pain/imbalance because there are types of low back pain requires specific exercises specifically when you have slipped disc, herniation and etc. As PT we are not just performing exercises to the patient but knowing the problem and what is the most appropriate exercise to the patients.
So you may find you only need one of these or all 7 in your routine. But it not only depends on your current fitness level but when and how you use them. As activation, you may do one round of 1 or 2 moves even for 15-25 reps just to establish that mind-body connection prior to your workout. You don't want to fatigue the muscle. However, if you're using them as a finisher, you may even do 2-3 rounds and 30 seconds on 3-4 moves and really attempt to fatigue your core to the point before form breaks down or you feel other muscles compensating.
@@redefiningstrengthOC Very helpful...I thought I needed to do all 7, being able to pick 3 ish that work for me will be a great start for "activation" - my lower back is taking the hit when I strength train with any compound move, scares me since I do not want to re-injure..working it out, what a journey!
This is the physical education teacher schools need. No one explains formation. Her formation and explanations are everything.,,,

The content on the redefining strength channel is highly commendable. The quality of the videos and the guided explanation are also remarkable.
Emphasis on mind / body connection very helpful 🙏
Bless the spirits that moved me to find your channel :)
Reverse curls is reciprocal inhibition of lower back. Love them side plank clam shells.
Wow. Quality content. I’ve been a huge fan for a while now. Big ups. Thank you!

I am going to try these to see if they can help me.

Check out her foam-rolling/myofascial release videos. It may have 'activation' in the title.
I just got this kind of back pain, and I just find this video. I love you Corey! or Cory maybe?

Thanks very much. Do you set with posterior pelvic tilt before engaging in the reverse crunch?
Before the roll you will want to press your lower back into the ground, but the positioning does it oddly "automatically."
Good but how many per set?
In love of progress bar. Also the video, obviously. Great Work. From Spain I wanna say: Thanks for share your knowledge!
Glad it helps!
In period days r also beneficial or not?
Thank you for these pointers! Your videos are appreciated.
How long should the movements be performed? Or how many reps should be done in a set?
