What movements would hurt you? Sometimes (not always), this can be an indicator of what we can train to make ourselves stronger and reduce weak points! Examples -Squatting down to pick something up -Turning around when someone calls your name -Sprinting/Jogging There may be certain medical and physical conditions that inhibit this. Please, by all means, ask your doctor, physical therapist, or medical professional before doing any of them. But in many cases, these represent regular human movements that can be adjusted to our ability. We're often capable of MUCH MORE than we realize! Especially if we're not accustomed to physical exercise. Similar to how lifting 500lb might hurt us but make The Mountain stronger - assisting with our hands to squat might strengthen us if regular squatting is out of our current ability! My rule of thumb is to feel "effort but not pain." Assist yourself enough to feel the exertion of the exercise, but not pain (especially in the joints). Staying in this zone is important for continual improvement! Think of the burn in your arms if you lifted your arms overhead for several minutes. That's similar to what I consider "effort." If you want a free fitness routine based on these principles, I have one linked on my profile. Also linked: -Hybrid Calisthenics App (beta) -Hybrid Calisthenics Book & eBook Have a wonderful day!
