Lifting out of back pain with Tanya Gordon

“Essentially we live longer now so if we’re not looking after ourselves, by the time we’ve done all this work and we’ve built this business and we’ve earned all this money, what are we going to have left at the end of it?”
“I discovered my back ache completely went. I never had the issues. Yes, you got the muscular, as you said, like, oh, I’ve got my DOMS, the delayed onset muscle soreness the next day and the day after, but nothing with my actual back pain.”

The dynamics of stretching with Steve Shreeve

Dynamic stretching is different from mobility exercises and is more about warming up the body and preparing it for physical activity.
Dynamic stretching involves stretching through movement, rather than holding a stretch.
The benefits of dynamic stretching include improving active range of motion, raising core body temperature, lubricating joints, and reducing the risk of injury.
Dynamic stretching is time-efficient, effective, and can be adapted for beginners or advanced individuals.
Dynamic stretching can be incorporated into various activities, such as swimming, and can also be used as a cool-down exercise.
It is important to perform dynamic stretches slowly and controlled, avoiding bouncing or jerking movements.
