This 'hallway' thought process is great, I finally understand. Thankyou so much for sharing!

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@hletto2]

Seriously.... I've been leading fitness for 25 years with a variety of national certs. I've never heard the planes of motion described so perfectly! Thank you!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Wow. Thanks!

[@rogerwilko3717]

Thank for th video, just watched it and this is the easiest way fore to remember it all wiuth your hall analogy

[@OutrageIsNow]

You explained this better than NASM did. Thank you, sir! I was getting hung up on the planes of motion and it was hurting my NASM quizzes

[@nutman3698]

seriously.

[@janetdeherrera]

Who doesn’t love simple! ❤

[@dianet2565]

Thank you! Yes, the hallway analogy was simple genius - I've finally understood movements in relation to the planes.

[@TheMovementSystem]

You’re welcome!

[@SportCBDs]

I have a massage workshop at the weekend and this has helped me remember the planes no end!
Thank you for this! Great upload mate 💪

[@alibinabdullah5052]

I cannot thank u enough. The hallway example hit a homerun. I been struggling understanding this for a long timr

You have made understanding this topic so much simpler. Thanks! Awesome stuff

Thank you for explaining this like you did. I honestly still need to watch it a few more times, but what you have explained makes sense to me!!

[@meganbestvina3059]

[@danamclemore3805]

Excellent !
The narrow hallway : I won’t get frontal & saggital confused Any longer.
Thanks so much

[@Pilateswithemma]

I just could not get my head around the planes whilst revising for my anatomy exam. Watched this once and it’s finally clicked. Thank you so much 👏🏻

I never comment on youtube videos normally, but I have to say this was so useful. I kind of understood the planes of movement but couldn't apply them to examples but the CORRIDOR analogy made it all make sense.

Yes🙌🏼

[@user-rk9hn5hv7n]

You damn right this video was helpful! That was a tough pop quiz, but I got all three correct. Chapter 2 of the book gives good examples of planes of motion, but not as challenging as your pop quiz.

[@cjfit6292]

Thank you so much for this.

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome

[@gabynava9512]

best one so far

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks!

[@Rickenaround]

Very helpful

[@AdrianaWhitney]

It made it so clear for me the axis explanation. Now I draw an imaginary rod through the plane and I can figure it out. I made a mistake with the chess press because I imagine the elbows against the body so the axis was going through my shoulder so I thought it was Sagittal. Thanks!!

[@veritodominguez4699]

Thank you very much!!! 👍😊

[@TheMovementSystem]

You’re welcome!

[@lindannoaham7688]
