Just jumped to this video from your video 4 years ago. So cool to see how much your confidence on camera has improved over time! Looking very relaxed and happy. Training with scoliosis, what a niche huh! Thanks heaps for these videos 😀.
I’ve been watching your vid and can you start doing this workouts whenever or when you don’t feel anymore pain? the question is when can you start doing this type of workouts?
You’re going to have to start somewhere. If you’re in pain, you’ll have to manage it correctly to overcome it. It won’t go away on its own. I offer 1 on 1 personal coaching. Reach out to me at erikthomasfitness@gmail.com or send me a message on Instagram!
@@erikthomasfitness my pain is not bad at all I’ve controlled most of the pain where I feel most of the pain is down my leg and a little on my back but what I do know is stretch every morning and do bike for like about 20min the streches that my physical therapist gave me
Hey Erik. I ve came to your videos few weeks ago and started watching them sometimes. I have scoliosis myseelf and i will start to go to the gym soon. Although i know i need to have a specialised plan for me so i dont damage myself with wrong working out especially when i have scoliosis but i am just wondering, will i be able to get some gains in particular muslce groups as i want? For example its important for me and i will be focused on my glute developement. Will i be able to develop some serious glute and legs muscles? I know you are not an doctor but as someone with scoliosis i wanted to ask you because of your experience with gym.
Each workout program has a "focus" for which muscle groups will be targeted . Some plans are tailored towards muscle endurance, some are tailored for strength, and some are tailored for aesthetics. I just created "The Balanced Body Program" which is the exact program I used to overcome my imbalances. The Balanced Body Program has a 3-day split, 4-day split, and a 5-day split option. Each split emphasizes a different muscle group to grow. I'll have my website up and running by tomorrow - you'll be able to get it for yourself! If you're looking for a 100% custom plan, I offer 1-on-1 online personal training and I have a few spots open as of now. If you're interested, let's hop on a call and see if its a good fit for you. My 1-on-1 coaching is a 10-week training program. We'd hop on an introductory call, I'd get to know more about you (what your goals are, what you've done in the past, and what you're struggling with), and then I'd create a custom diet and workout plan JUST FOR YOU. I'll be working with you everyday and making sure you're on track with everything. If your workout schedule, exercises, or diet has to be adjusted, I can take care of that in the matter of seconds. My training app has video instructions and is integrated with MyFitnessPal so I can track your nutrition. Your results are guaranteed, as long as you put in the work. Of course, that's easier said than done...That's why I'll be keeping up with you everyday to make sure it DOES get done! I only like to work with people who are SERIOUS about making a change. If you want to overcome your challenges, you have to be ALL IN. If you're ready, let's get you set up today! calendly.com/erikthomasfitness Schedule a call with me and let's get to work!
Hi, you do Bulgarian lunges with a weight of 20 lbs for 10-12 reps, do you plan to increase the weight? I just gradually reached 110 lbs (with a barbell) for 12 reps and I'm starting to fear for my spine. How healthy is this load on the scoliosis spine? And if not, then how to increase the load and progress in this case?
I don’t like to place a direct load on my spine. I squat every now and then but that’s about it. When it comes to Bulgarian split squats, use dumbbells. Dumbbells recruit more stabilizing core muscles and places less of a load on the spine
@@erikthomasfitness but how can we progress in this exercise? I'll have to take heavier and heavier dumbbells, an increasing load on the spine, is this normal?
Thank you!!!! Finally a leg day! ❤

@@EuodiaMedia I had just figured things out in my first video. Now, 4 years later, I know FOR SURE that my methods work 😂🙏🏻

@@AngelRangel-z1f Stretches alone won’t solve your problem. You need to strengthen the muscles that are causing you problems.
@@erikthomasfitness so what do you recommend me to do what type of workouts can you give me to strengthen my back
So your saying that if I start to do the workouts that will strengthen my back my pain will also minimize??
