For example, one great mindfull exercise is:
"Good coaching and mindfulness is essential. We've measured that those who treat these exercises trivially do not restablish the gluteal patterns that are required."
How can I do the 3 progressions at home without equipment? I can do the lateral step up on a stair, the goblet squat with my 2 dumbbells because I don't have a kettlebell. But how can I do a cable pull through?! Thank you so much!
As far as the anterior pelvic tilt I'm not real sureif that whole concept of what's tight what's weak and what's strong is correct. I have anterior pelvic tiltI think my glutes are pretty strong but there's one difference I'm missing my left leg and the way I walk on my prosthetic might may be the cause so that is throwing in the monkey wrench
What job do you have where you can take breaks every 30 minutes?
I used an actual $100 bill.
Ugh….wayyyyyy too much talking

Jeremy, breathing correctly is never emphasized. Is it ok to breathe normally like you are walking?
Thanks Jeremy, I’ve no butt & gluteus are retired. Now hopefully I will fill out my pants again.😂🦘
If I had a $100 bill putting it between my buns would be the last thing on my mind.. 😄😄

Had no idea my glutes were weak till now, my anterior pelvic tilt is getting bad
I couldn't do the $100 bill squeeze so I started with a $5. I think I could handle a $20 bill now so I'm saving up for one.
Anyone else can't sit on wood?
That's a great idea! Although, I'm more of a…$1 bill kinda girl lol I don't have that kinda life
