      @EcstaticTeaTime Год назад +37

      I've had "rice krispy" knees since I was born (genetics from my mom.) Thankfully, nothing hurts but I have always been a bit more careful. I am going through grad school right now and we were asked to mobilize our own knees after a demonstration. I was used to seeing right and left (which makes me nervous) but they had us perform up and down. My hands felt like I was crinkling a piece of paper between them.
      So yes, motion is important but everything in moderation. Working up to 10k steps a day if you aren't already there should be safe to do and maintain.

Personally I couldn't handle push ups but stumbled upon someone who suggested doing it against in the wall to start and after a while I can finally handle some regular push ups, so I totally will try the very basic squat with support with hopes of being able to handle regular squats eventually!

      @haifutter4166 2 года назад +16

      Your tendons and joints need months before becoming stronger and are able to handle the load, even when your muscles are able to perform that move.
      Thats the reason most newbies injure themselves in the beginning: Able to get ten full push ups done, but their elbows never saw a bigger strain than holding a cup or using the keyboard before.
      Progress slowly but steadily. It will take long, but on the contrary that progress will stay longer with you; much much longer than muscle mass (that vanishes completely in a few months of no training).

    A tip for beginner’s: your own body weight may be too much to do and you may have to strengthen your tendons before you focus on muscles just so you don’t hurt yourself. This can mean lighter weight and fewer reps just so your body gets used to the motions.

    thank you for including the support+small range of motion squat! I can't do a full squat at all and knowing that blocked me from trying until now and it just didn't compute in my head that using support could be valid 😭

    I like how you show them slowly enough for me to perceive. I can do a squat with almost no support, but definitely not many sets, and I'm actually thinking of trying to go the step back to supported squats and building from there

      @@Appaddict01 idk, as an overweight person who's truly a beginner I'd definitely say that doesn't seem to be a beginner way to train - unless that machine dramatically descreases the difficulty of squats allowing one to do more sets. But if it works for you, that's great :)

      What are reverse Nordics?

    • @rhyswearne9308
      @rhyswearne9308 2 года назад +1

      @@Emnms68 a traditional Nordic Curl is where you kneel down and hook your heals under a solid object for anchorage, from there you keep your whole torso, hips and knees in one straight line and lower yourself down to the ground as slow as possible, placing eccentric stress on the hamstrings. Eventually, once strong enough, you can use your hamstrings to pull or "curl" yourself back up.
      A reverse Nordic is literally the opposite, without the need to hook yourself heels under an object for anchorage. Start on your knees, with your hips and torso upright, and slowly lean back as far as possible, using just your knees to hinge your weight. This places eccentric stress on your quadriceps. As I said, I like to use a resistance band attached to a rig or rack in front of me to help pull me back up again. Fantastic for quad and knee strength, but not for someone who struggles with knee pain, so be sure to work your way up to these.
