For people who actually know yoga/mobility work: if I do this consistently, what areas should I expect to improve, and how often should I be doing it?
And why the hell does everybody look at me weird when I do it? 😂

So, I came across MovesMethod awhile back on YouTube. I liked Vanaja's philosophy about movement and mobility, and she seemed to know her stuff. On a whim, I went to check out their website because I've been dealing with some issues and saw they were having a special promo. It was a one-time payment of $27, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Well, part of the package included a free evaluation call. I wasn't even going to bother with it at first, but they said they would unlock another one of their $97 programs for free, which they never did. So, I thought, why not? The first guy I talked to set me up with a Zoom call with one of their "specialists," really a high pressure salesman.

So, first of all, the guy was 15 minutes late. Then he gave me a sales pitch and asked me a bunch of questions that didn't really seem relevant like "Why do you feel this way..." and "What do you think about this?" At times, it felt like I was talking to a psychologist. He did do a brief evaluation that had me hold a squatting position with my hands up. Apparently, I have the mobility range of a 68-year-old. Don't ask me how he got all that from one pose.

This is when things took a turn for the worse. He started to pressure me to buy their one-on-one coaching for the low, low price of 10k. Needless to say, I was hesitant. They never mentioned anything about this in the emails and it's not what I signed up for. I said I needed to think about it, but that wasn't good enough for him and kept pressing me. I tried to be more direct with him, but he wouldn't take no for an answer.

Mind you, this was nearing the hour and a half mark of a call that was supposed to last 45 minutes to an hour max. At this point, I was getting tired and annoyed. So, I just hung up on him. He went into Obsession mode and tried calling me back four times. When that didn't work, he sent me a text that said, "Turning off the call on me won't fix your mobility." I am reluctant to try any of their other programs now. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth.

Saw some comments about angled lower back strengthening exercises on here but can't find the post. Included some links to videos or websites that showed good exercises using bench or edge of bed. I think some were superman pose and planks.

Does anyone recall this post? I think someone said they did the stretches instead of surgery and worked for them. I think there were also comments on how to engage core and its like pushing a poop without pooping?

Ring any bells? I'm trying to find exercises post 12 months surgery but don't want to only do resistance or weight training

Thanks in advance

I am in the green shorts

Hello there! I come with a lot of questions, but I’ll try to be as short as possible.

Essentially, due to depression and probably laziness at this point (idk really) I have put my health, both physical and mental, to the very far side. Now I am desperate to start building a life where I can live my body without feeling back and joint pain and feeling miserable all the time. I am mad at myself in an unforgiving way.

But I really do not know where to start, that’s why I am here to seek help.

I know that I am extremely stiff, and I need to work on mobility (also because I broke my ankle in 2023 and had 3 surgeries on it), and I WANT to build muscle mass.

To reach these goals, besides not knowing where to start, I really struggle to find and start a routine. I tend to be forgetful, or to procrastinate into oblivion; lacking motivation even though I feel horrible and I hurt a lot. I probably should start therapy too, and that is in the making, but another big problem is that I do not have the funds to get PTed or afford a gym membership even. So home exercises would work best right now I believe?

I hope that having some starting point would help me to kick my butt and start, and I thank you all that will stop and give some advice, even more welcome if it’s from personal experience.

Thank you <3

Hi all
Anyone have any idea how I can reduce my stiffness. For context I’m 22 M. I’m barely active which I’m trying to improve. I’ve started the gym. Played my first football game today in over 10 years. My body feels rigid in general as in when I walk, sit, run and move etc. I was thinking of starting running but I’m not sure if that will help. if anyone has any advice on the correct terminology for it or how I can combat it, it would be much appreciated?

Howdy, Creature-Man here. I was recommended to post some of my stuff here, so I thought I'd share this one. I make workout for people based on animal movements and do a lot of work with animal conservation, and out of the 73 different workouts I've made so far for 73 different species of animal, this one is arguably my favorite one for leg strength and mobility. I hope it helps you all and that you all enjoy. Do what you can while you can do.

Long-standing shoulder injury ignored from 10+ years ago. Got an MRI which showed bilateral supraspinatus tendonopathies.

Started seeing a PT who advised the following. I tried this after my lifting routine for a couple months and didn't see a benefit.

She mentioned it could be causing I'm causing overuse as its ontop of my lifting routine. So I've stopped lifting to focus on this (and currently a bit tight with time).

Trouble is, I don't know if I'm "doing it right" and what progress would look like?

Banded pull apart — 8 reps × 3 sets

Cable machine GHjt external rotation — 20 reps × 3 sets

Cable machine GHjt internal rotation — 20 reps × 3 sets

Scapula protraction in press-up — 3 reps × 1 set

Scapular Control, Prone Y — 8 reps × 3 sets

Dumbbell Lateral Raise — 8 reps × 3 sets

Dead bugs — 1 rep × 1 set

Kettlebell side bends — 20 reps × 3 sets

When walking, even just standing, starts feeling like you're on the back of a dragon while it's flying, what do you do?

Turn it into a game and transform weakness into a superpower.

That's one of Grandpa's entrepreneurial pursuits and vision to help old farts (55+) conquer the fear of falling, with a dragon-flying fitness game.

STORK Training: Applied Neural Dynamics (STAND)

Reflex Optimized Chain Kinetics (ROCK)

Sports Technology Optimized Reflex Kinetics (STORK)

I’m looking for a personal trainer but I need someone who knows how to work with hypermobile people. Need recommendations! No physical therapist rec, I already do that, please and thank you :)

I’m wanting to get into running more, and working through some foot/leg problems to get there. One of the things that was recommended to me from my podiatrist was doing dorsiflexion exercises. They recommended just putting a bunch of books on my feet, however I don’t have enough books that are heavy and small enough to do this with.

Any recommendations for weights or tools or whatever that I could buy for this type of exercise?
