This is really good content and well explained!
thank you
Just wanted to drop in and say, keep going. You're doing great
I thought this was common sense but I guess it ain’t so common anymore
Yes very true. I use to do same thing years ago but
Excellent video, thank you for sharing! Looking forward to go from blue to green soon.
VERY INFORMATIVE!!! THANK YOU.
Pretty good tips. Didn't think I'd have a hard time with this one but definitely think my form is off.
Is there a speed-limit for the hand release portion of the push-up?
no, but the time limit for this event is 2 minutes.
Your amazing for this video 💕
Helpful vid, been getting knee pain from being too wide.
That's a better view of the glute bridge. I'm not nearly that straight but I also don't have a bench (the couch works). Thanks!
Lift your butt off the seat and try to reach your knees to your chest
This is a straight leg raise. I have another video for knee raises
What does this particular exercise do for the body? Also, thank you for posting easy things I can do at home! 💪🏋♀🤸♀
I specifically love this as a warm-up or accessory work. It works the muscles around the shoulder blade, mid and lower back.
Love your trainer! 🐶
Very helpful!
Thnx
What is this deadlift prop called?
I'm using a hex bar also known as a trap bar
do these feel weird to anyone else???
you mean when using it? Lol uh yes
I love your tips for the hand release push-ups. Solid tips indeed. Been working at doing it 👍🏾☺️
Live in rural area without much of a gym, and it is snow-covered the majority of the year. I was comfortably doing 2 miles on the treadmill now I can barely do a mile outside. Why is it so much harder? Very frustrated.
I try a shoulder width stance with trap bar deads but I feel way too much pressure on my knees that way. If I use a slightly outside shoulder width stance it opens my hips and takes pressure off my knees and feels great.
What about pulling against the band?
Helpful!
Great tips. I have my PT test in March, I can do hand release much better than regular push-up, I think I'll be able to max it out.
I’m a 65 year old at twenty I dislocated my shoulder whilst walking on my hands and had rotator cuff problems all my life. After progressing slowly from a very painful aided support dead hang to a non painful 1min dead hang in 2 months I have free non painful movements in my arms. Great exercise, hope to progress to pull-ups.
Big help thank you. I knew I had more in me but couldn’t figure out the hiccup I had my hands closer to my head/ shoulders I was way weaker in that position. Thank you again.
I love it when its just a small adjustment. Glad this tip helped out!
I increased my SPT from 7 -> 9.5m thanks to your video!!
Awesome! That's a big improvement!
OMMGGGG!! I'm not one to comment but let me tell y'all these tricks worked!!!! Thank you so much!!
awesome!!
Thanks very help me
good variety of variations ....... thanks
I didn't know she had that G.I. Joe, kung Fu grip.
thank you for showing us the exercises
Ready for day 8 so I can know what a face pull is lol
Oops! I accidentally had video 8 as private! Ha thanks for the comment...it's posted now
Don't know if someone will respond, but I can't seem to do a HRP, not even 1. I have no idea why. I can do push ups with my hands and arms further out, but when they're closer I struggle and can't lift myself back up when I lay all the way down. Am I doing something wrong, do I need to train certain muscles to be able to lift myself back up?
More upper body and core strength is needed for HRP standards. I recommend working at an incline focusing on full body tension and full range of motion with hands placed under your shoulders, Negative push-ups on the floor (lower yourself slowly), and adding chest presses, tricep work, & core stability strength exercises like pallof press, plank variations, etc. Feel free to email me if you'd like to discuss more - kim@goingdoingliving.com
Thanks for posting these! My sister sent me this challenge and I wasn’t sure what all the exercises were based off the name, so this is very helpful!
Glad these help! I'll post a video for each day of the challenge
Excellent tips! I tried them after viewing your video and saw immediate improvement in keeping my body straight. Thanks for sharing!
Happy to hear this!!
Interesting video. Nice breakdown of the benefits of swings. When I first started to train with a personal trainer when I turned 50, I was doing kettle bell swings you identified as American. After I developed issues with my right shoulder which required surgery in 2017, the kettlebell swings became the Russian version, which I do to this day at 67. A good exercise.
Higher setting means you get more distance per stroke doesn't it? I have a magnetic rower at home and if on base or at unit I put it on 10. So you think for the test I should bump it down?
I'm not familiar with magnetic rowers and how they compare to the damper settings. A higher damper setting does not mean more distance per stroke. A higher damper setting simple allows more air into into the flywheel (more resistance) and requires more strength/power. Think of a 10 as rowing a large wooden row boat and a 4-6 as rowing a light kayak. You'll be able to cover more distance much faster with less effort over a longer period of time in that kayak.
I would be the one opening the door...
Very helpful, thank you!
Just tried out these tips while practicing HRPUs. Better form and more power, for sure. Keep sharing!
Awesome! thanks for the feedback on these tips
Appreciate this!
How many push-ups do we have to do in order to pass?
10 to pass. To max the event...it depends on your age and gender
@@goingdoinglivingstrengthtr4383 thank you
Thank you!
ACFT in three weeks. I’ll try your tips and let you know how it turns out.
Awesome! Looking forward to hearing back. Hope all goes well
This is one of the better HRPU videos on TH-cam. Straight to the point without all of the fluff commentary up front. Thank you.
You are the reason I am going to be able to pass this in October, thank you 🙏 this has been the most difficult event for me. My 1SG told me about your TH-cam channel to help me with the ACFT. I would like to submit a video to you so that you can help me more with this event. What is the email you referenced in the video? Thank you!
kim@goingdoingliving.com email me anytime. I'm happy to help
