Low back pain and stiffness resolved

February 1, 2013 by admin

Suffering from low back pain?

Do you sit for long hours? Low back pain relief by doing these simple low back pain exercises below.

 

Do these low back pain exercises daily for lower back pain and relief stiffness from the back muscles. For the stretches, do 5 sets of 30 seconds.  For strengthening, do 2 sets of 15 Without knowing your exact condition and the reason for back pain, these low back pain relief exercises should help in general. If you have pain with sitting and no or reduced pain with walking, skip the double knee to chest exercise.

Standing HIP ER Stretch

In this video we are going to go over with hip standing external rotator stretch for lower back pain relief. You need a surface around this height, it could be little bit lower, little bit higher. If the height that you are using is too high, you can just stand on a stool or couple of books.

 

So we are going to use this surface, I wanna stretch my right leg, you wanna bring that leg on right on top of the table. You wanna make sure you get your leg from the inside not outside. It is much harder from the outside than to in.
You wanna place your hips square to the table, your knee should be right in front of the hip. It should not be angled out like this. It should be angled forward.

 

Now couple of things if your hips is tight, this knee will be sort of up like this, that’s okay. You want to relax, you do not want push the knee down. You always want to make sure that your hips stay square because if you are tight your body wants to turn away from the side that you are stretching.

 

In this position you should feel light stretch here. Now if you are very flexible and do not feel stretch in this position then you want to make sure your chest forward and bow forward.do not round your chest to bow forward, keep your chest up and bow forward. That will give you a stronger stretch.

 

Now if you are very flexible you still don’t feel the stretch, you can drop the other foot further back away. That will basically lower your body, increasing the height of this and places a stringer stretch on the hips.

 

I will show you from the side view to show you what I mean by that. So in this position you will bow forward keeping your back flat to get that stretch. You can also drop your other leg back to get a stronger stretch.

 

You wanna make sure the intensity of the stretch here is not too strong, it should be medium, medium to strong stretch. Ideally you want to hold for 30 seconds and it should not be painful. By doing this there should be no low back pain.

The cat or camel exercise

Today we are going to demonstrate the cat or camel exercise. This exercise is for for low back pain. For this you will be on your all fours on your hands and knees. You might wanna use something for your wrists, you might want to hold on to dumbbell.

 

Just a better position for your wrist to be in less strain. So for this exercise you going to be arching your back. Kind of round when they are out, in this position you want to tighten your stomach and breathe out. This is the cat position and then you are going to let your abdominal muscles to relax and sag your stomach down to the table as low it will go.

 

So you are versing the curve in your lower back, again repeat. You are going to round up your lower back and sag down let everything stretch. The bottom you should be breathing in. This is your Cat or Camel, low back pain exercises.

The Side Lying Trunk Rotation

We are demonstrating the Side Lying Trunk Rotation so for this low back pain exercise you are going to be lying on your side with your knees bent towards your chest. So both foot should be bent one foot on top of the another. For this lower back pain exercise one arm is going to reach up for the ceiling. Like this. Now you are going to allow your arm to drop behind and lowering it towards the floor so you are going to let your body, upper body follow your arm and your knees are still bent maintaining contact with the table.

 

For this back pain or core exercise if you have shoulder problems or this particular position strain on your lower back so it can be modified with your elbow bent so roll back to your side. So we can bent the elbow keep to close to your side, to your body and now rotate. So that if you have shoulder problems or if the arm extended put so much strain on the lower back and that is the Side Lying Trunk Rotation.

Pareto principle for weight loss

Pareto principle or The 80/20 principle

 

In this video let’s talk about how you can maximize your fat loss results following the 80/20 rule, Pareto principle. You see essentially the concept to understand is that your effort are not always linear to your results. That’s what the premise of the pareto principle or the 80/20 rule is that sometimes certain small efforts can produce great results.

Paerto principle for weight loss

Pareto analysis:

And large amount of efforts can produce diminishing returns in your efforts. So how does it applies to weight loss? Well a lot of times we see clients and people who literally struggle, literally fight their will power to not eat certain foods. They will try everything possible, they will not buy that food, they will not think about that food, they will say that food is bad, not eat that food and a lot of time that approach gives you diminishing results.

 

Because it is not the right mind set to go about to lose weight permanently, to lose weight permanently its kind of like dating food. You have to improve your relationship with food. It should not be anything that you are using to make up something that you are missing. For example, if you are not happy, food is not happiness.

 

If you are angry, food is not something you eat to calm you down. Food is food, it also should pleasurable to nourish your body and you should also be able to enjoy the process of consuming food. It should not be a guilt related process, oh my god this is good food, oh this is bad food. I can’t eat this food, I can’t eat that.

The 20% of the 80/20 principle

 

Its all about applying the 20%, with the right approach you should constantly work on is improving your relationship with food and not following some type of diet or cutting this food group out. Or not eating that food group or only eating before this time of day or try to time your food. None of that matters until your overall approach with food is fixed to a proper healthy relationship.

 

How well you are eating or how not well you are eating, you can always improve your relationship with food. Becoming better at understanding food and making small incremental changes is the best way, right so…small incremental changes, great relationship with food that’s the way you can master the 20%.

 

How you can actually apply 80/20 principle or pareto principle is almost in a way of less effort and more results, right? So stop supressing yourself, stop the guilt, stop beating yourself up and work on changing your mind set. Because that is a key to permanent weight loss.

Give and take to lose weight

Everyone got one common question how to lose weight FAST!

 

Hi, welcome to this video, this is doctor Steve Young, I am going to talk about why you need to consider giving up one thing to gain one thing. Most of you have weight loss goals, want to lose some body fat, may be it is New Year Resolution time and you are looking at to drop some pounds.

What is your weight loss goal?

 

As you write your goals off, I want to lose 10 pounds, I wanna drop X dress size, I wanna lose X inches. You also want to write down a goal I want to give up blank meeting, I wanna give up eating ice cream everyday or eating pizza everyday.

 

I don’t believe that never doing it and thinking of anything turns bad or negative foods. But you want to write a goal and say you know I have been averaging 3 ice cream servings a week. Let me cut down to one serving a week. Something sensible, something doable, its not like you can’t eat ice cream. You are just giving up X frequency and keeping X frequency.

 

Because when you set this goals and as well as positive goals, one positive goals could be 1-2 exercise instead of 0 times a week or two times a week. Don’t go from 0 to 5, go from 0 to 2, do that for couple of weeks even a month and go to three.

 

You want to set one take away goal something you know that is not helping you towards your goal. Something hindering you towards your goal. You wanna reduce that amount and pave one thing that you know that will help you get the goal faster or make it more attainable and increase that frequency.

 

So one is decreasing frequency and on the flip side one is increasing frequency in something that helps. In this way you have a nice balance on what to reduce and what to increase. Most people just sort of focus on one thing or the other but a balanced approach is focusing on both equally. And only take one thing for the next couple of weeks.

 

After you have that down, hey this is actually pretty easy to do, pick another thing to take away or reduce or another thing to increase. This mind-set is very progressive, it may not drop 10 pounds in a month. It will make you lose 10 pounds at 3 months and keep it off. Its all about slow and steady.

Weight loss Plans available in the market do not work!

 

The marketing hype of dropping weight fast by going on X diet or going on X workout programs, those things are just not sustainable. Yes you get the transformation, yes you get the rapid changes but no one keeps those gains. You gain some of the weight and fat back because you can not make big changes.

 

So one small negative reduction and one small positive increase and that should help you get permanent weight loss.

Long term weight loss – Transformation challenge program failure

November 18, 2012 by admin

Watch this video to learn why short term transformation programs don’t work for permanent fat loss or long term weight loss.

Hi this is Doctor Steve Young, we will talk about why we do not do transformation contests or challenges to lose fat or to Long term permanent weight loss. If you are an athlete and lets say you want to run a marathon and that’s your goal. You want to have distance, you want to do things for a long time. Would you go to the gym and train to be a sprinter?

 

Probably not, because the ability to sprint, how your body adapts to sprinting has nothing to do with your body’s ability to run a marathon. If you have a sprinter, have him run a marathon he is not going to last. And vice versa if you take a marathon runner competing against a sprinter not going to be very competitive.

 

It’s a great analogy for you to understand why you should not do short term weight loss challenges. The actions that you are going to take, the mindset that you need to have and the behavior pattern that you need to have do not sustain weight loss. You will not be able to achieve long term weight loss or long term fat loss.

 

What to do for long term weight loss

 

Let me explain, if you are trying to lose as much weight as possible in the next 30, 60, 90 days. What would you have to do? Workout like a mad man or mad women, you have to make sure eating perfectly. Every calorie counts, you have to do everything right, you have to push your body to the limit.

 

Now some people might say its good to push your body and mind to the limit to give you that motivation. Here is the problem, all those thinking that mindset, behavioral patterns and actions are not what you need to keep that weight off.

 

weight loss work routineIf you want to lose as much weight as possible in next 30 days, that is very different than trying to lose that weight permanently. Right? One involves short term pressure, stress, getting it done where maintaining the body weight really means long term goals.

 

Doing it easily, doing it sustainablely. You can see that the sprinting and the long distance running or shot term weight loss versus maintaining the weight is very different.

 

Now what some people do those challenges say you lose that weight in the beginning and try to keep that weight off. That’s like saying let me train to be sprinter in the beginning and then switch to marathon running. It just makes sense to start training as marathon runner. Start off, train your body your mind, your behavior, your actions for long term weight loss.

 

Not short term and then however switched to long term, that’s mean all the time you spent doing short term stuff does nothing. Sure you lose X number of pounds on a scale and how many people you know lost weight and gain right back.

 

You wanna start off with the mindset and strategies go for long term weight loss. And that’s what we push, now those gyms will do those challenges, they get before and after pictures. Which gives you market make some look great.
I wanna challenge the gyms, how many of them have their clients lose weight and keep it off for years or decades.

 

That’s what we do. This is not a selling pitch, you got to realize that challenges sure they have their uses. If you have a wedding, you wanna look good for certain events.

Permanent weight loss – Starts from your mind

 

But if your goals is to lose weight permanently, I strongly encourage you to change your mindset. Don’t do challenges and transformations, sit down and map out a strategy for long term weight loss, for permanent weight loss.

 

If you are looking for those strategies, we have come up with a program that will help you. We realize that we cant train everyone in the area or in the country so we have strategies, mindset, training programs, what you need to lose weight permanently.
