Excellent tutorial. The way our body parts are connected is truly amazing. Thank you for an easy to understand explanation. PS I did a bunch of foot exercises plus calf and double calf stretches while watching.
For many years, I followed the T-Tapp exercise program and I'm so thankful for that, because she taught a lot of those same tips-- Feet straight, weight in heels, knees pushed out, body in alignment. I go barefoot a lot and have always had pretty good mobility in my feet, but I have had major pelvic floor issues (i.e. bladder leaks) for the past couple of years. Can you point me to more pelvic floor tips? I'm re-focusing on these, but I think I need more. I know for Sure that I need more walking! I'm eyeing that beach with a bit of envy. Right now our beach is covered with snow and ice and walking is limited to indoors. 😕
T-Tapp sounds like a really interesting cue! One of the reason of pelvic floor issues is sedentary, so I'd recommend make walking and squatting a daily practice! You can also keep these activities indoor and they will help you be ready for Summer. If you want you can DM me and I'll send you a Reels with 5 ways to help your pelvic floor 😊
Your my favorite person, I love watching and following your uploads , your amazing. I'm 66 where's a good starting point for me to get fit and build muscle? I have DDD and my hips constantly hurt. 🕊️
Thank you 😊. I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos. I usually recommend CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations) as a starting point. They are a great foundation for all other movements. I have a few CARs videos on my RUclips channel and I also offer a full program called Joints for Life (you can find more about that here: bit.ly/3cNQUDu).
Hips over heels doesn't make sense and will cause you to easily be pushed back. From an engineering stand point it makes more sense to have weight in the center of the foot when in a zero drop position. Leaning slightly forward in an elevated heeled shoe is different when done barefoot.
Thank you for the explanation lovely to see the beach
You're so welcome! And I do like when I can have a good backdrop :)

Thanks so much, Mary! Stoked you took the time to give yourself some good movement inputs :)
Thank you for this lesson and I will check out the others to see how I can incorporate your tips with my genu valgus and rearfoot varus.
You're so welcome! That sounds like a good plan - I hope it helps! 🙏
Amazing thank you! I have been wondering this exact thing. 👏
It comes up a lot! So glad it answered your Qs :)

That was awesome!
😊 I'm glad to hear it!! 🙏🙏
Fantastc clear explanation - now I know what to work on. Thankyou
So glad its helpful!
When externally rotating the hips are we trying to keep the pelvic bones from also rotating? Eg asis move laterally sit bones move medially?
Hi Galen. I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. Could you clarify please?
Hips over heels doesn't make sense and will cause you to easily be pushed back. From an engineering stand point it makes more sense to have weight in the center of the foot when in a zero drop position. Leaning slightly forward in an elevated heeled shoe is different when done barefoot.
Well, bodies aren't machines. From a functional perspective, hips over heels is an optimal position for pelvic floor, spine and foot health.
Thank you
You're very welcome!
