Omg this is such a helpful video. I truly appreciate the mental cues about breathing the back into the floor. I hold so much tension in my right neck while trying to do core work. Thank you so much.
This is very helpful! I assume that, after you master this with proper control, is when you lift your knees and arms up into upside down table top position and begin incorporating the extension of opposite arms and legs?.......Same thing with holding the core tight and stable with back down and breathing, just using larger movements, yes?
Should we not do all breathing through our nose ? Reading Breath by james Nestor , seems it’s vital we get how we breath right as well as posture yes ?
I have lots of videos on proper breathing, they may help. Here are a few. ruclips.net/video/IYITthRs6cc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vI_UUPhQ9qY/видео.html Breathing and posture are both very important, yes.
I have a fatty lower pooch- have a surgical scar above it that pushes in and the fat sticks out even more. How do I tell if the sticking out is from fat or too much of an advanced exercise - can you elaborate on the doming? Thanks.
Watch yourself in a mirror or video screen on your phone- feel underneath the tissue - do you feel muscle firing? I like to feel for does the muscle underneath flatten evenly between your hip bones and then when you go to do the movement you don't want any change in the tissue - that would be an indicator of pressure down/or doming. Let me know if that makes sense!
What’s the difference between this method (exhaling to brace) and inhaling to brace? I inhale to brace and try to maintain that hold or act like I’m about to get punched in the gut or cough. I do this and then try to perform the deadbug. Just curious, because that’s how my PT taught me. Thanks!
@@lw7654 Not unless you need to be able to do the exercise with good form such as above. Also sometimes it depends on what you are trying to get out of the exercise.
When i lie neutrally, my tailbone is poking on the floor and feels bad. So far i have tucked my butt "under the legs", im still not totally sure how i should do this
I usually do not recommend it unless you need to do it to be able to do the exercise with good form (for example- if you have a larger backside). Also sometimes it depends on what you are trying to get out of the exercise.
I’m trying to follow all of ur instructions and still find that my neck and collarbone feel really tight. My back is completely flat against the floor most of the time (very small arc when I move my leg) and I’m trying really hard to use just my abs but...it’s not working :(
You may just need to keep practicing or you may need to work on strengthening your abs more before your able to do this exercise (or both) without neck tension.
Hello Dr. I have the left aic pattern and When i do the deadbug exercice i feel the left side of my abs burning a lot more than my right is this ok ? Thank you
Hi, I've been trying your exercises for the pelvic floor and I have a diastasis. So when I try to breathe into the back as recommended in your other vioes that weire neck thing does happen where even though my si and ribs are in line my neck does that thing and sonsondo then shoulders. Honestly holding that positing 9f the ribs stacked itself is very challenging as my muscles start spasming. Any tips?
@@CoreExerciseSolutions No as in.. ok im struggling with these. Basically i have an extremely tight pelvic floor and can barely contact it . I'm not sure what sensations to feel exactly .... I have a muscle activation problem... in general... even breathing the way its mentioned is difficult ...so when i try to stack my ribs by breathing down into my back into an exhale ... my rectum sort of opens up which is in a chronically contracted state ....to the point that when people say breathe into the pelvic floor i cant really ... also when i breathe down into my back my ribs stacked my chest does also shorten and my abs tighten.. how one breathes in that tightened ab position seems almost impossible for me ...and no my pelvic floor does not contract when i breahe into the back unless i stack my ribs with my chest shortened ... if feels like a lack of connection... and when i keep my chest open.. on the exhale there seems to be some sort of straining in my rectum like im bearing down...
@@sadasivam123 Sounds like you would really benefit from seeing an in person Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist so they can help you figure out exactly what is going on so you can work on correcting it. Sorry you are having to deal with all of this!
Best explanation I've heard re: which area to flatten and how to do it. Thank you!

Such a helpful video. Thank you
The breathing alone brought me stability. I'm thankful for this video
Yay!
Great tutorial. Thank you :)
I think this really will improve my form on this while doing the reddit RR for bodyweight fitness.

Yes, exactly!! And you can add resistance to make it even harder.
Oh, great idea! Thanks!! :)

my pt told me that while exhale put your belly inwards and while inhale ur belly should come up

These are like driving test instructions lol i hope i pass
Haha!
With a big booty, flattening your back is a issue. Any tips? Great tutorial.
Go into a posterior pelvic tilt and tuck your butt under. Glad you liked the tutorial!
@@CoreExerciseSolutions I thought you mentioned not to do a posterior pelvic tight/bum under??

How should I setup my low back? Everyone says that you SHOULD do a posterior tilt. Yet here you say we shouldn't. It's confusing

I can’t do it :( my abs won’t “turn on” and when I think I’m doing it, it’s just my back.
I would try this exercise instead!

Sure, that's fine. If you have the left AIC pattern,then feeling it more onthe left side is a good thing.
