How Do I Start Strength Training Safely
In this video I go over how to start strength training safely.
This is via going over the main base movement patterns for the upper body push, upper body pull, core engagement, the hip hinge, and the squat.
I talk about how to do these movements safely and common mistakes seen that can lead to injury.
Enjoy!

  • @bengt_axle

    I tried one of these short-nosed so called "Power" saddles. The problem is exactly as you mention: back of the thigh hits the wings of the saddle. There is really no way around this except to go for a narrower version of the saddle (which may still not be narrow enough for some males who have narrower pelvises). If you slide the saddle back, your weight can be too far in the mid line of the saddle, putting pressure on the soft tissue. The hardest thing to know about choosing a saddle is which shape along the three dimensions (t- shaped or v-shaped, longitudinally curved or longitudinally flat and laterally flat or more log-shaped) is right for you. Flexibility, riding style and to some degree sex, may help determine this.

    I am so happy to have found your channel! You have helped me so much in strength development. Running ultramarathons has given me fantastic cardio and endurance, but I was definitely lacking upper body strength. : ( This became ridiculously apparent to me when I started mountain biking with my husband, who has no trouble muscling his way over, around, or through obstacles on the trail. Me...not so much- LOL! Anyway, thanks for helping with women-specific advice. And thanks for always smiling! : )

    A year late to the party, but great explanation, Liz - thank you. I mtn bike 4-5 days a week (the Santa Cruz mountains are my backyard) and just recently have begun to develop patellar tendonitis (at 53yo, I feel mine at the base of the quad/top-ish area of kneecap). I have found that lots of steep/fast/airy downhill (which is all of it around here) and interestingly: pow skiing - both exacerbate it. It's not too bad yet - I feel it later in the day after exercising and then being sedentary and also mornings when walking down stairs or doing the first handful of deep knee bends for the day. I suspect just general weakness and lackof flexibility, but want to nip it in the bud asap. Are there any other exercises you might suggest adding to this video?

(Bad idea) Now my feet are killing me. I’ve been seeing my physical therapist about this. And I started feeling better. I’ve reinstalled clipless pedals and wearing bicycle shoes.

I’ve gone on a couple mellow rides, and I’ve found the clip-less shoes to be very comfortable.” no flexing”.❤️‍🩹🙏, this planter fasciitis is super slow recovery.😢

    This is great, thanks for sharing your knowledge, as a dad, and my main riding partner is my daughter, we have now come to being stuck with un ridable trails. We’re both working on at least working out, and having that benifit when we get back to the bikes and our cardio will have fallen through the floor again( I broke some ribs a few months back, and we didn’t ride at all in that time). So we’re gonna focus on core and general muscle grouping. My question to you, is do you have any vids on just upper body work? That is her weakest scenario, as the classic woman build, all the leg power, and it just gets less and less the closer you get to her head lol. Thanks in advance, and keep the knowledge coming.
