The great thing I’ve had from my physio was actually getting some exercises & stretches on an email with links to videos and a little basic tickbox record I could make. Where I’ve been before they talk you through them and then the next day you’re going “what were those exercises again?”. So that’s my top tip for physios - give your clients something they can refer to..
Amazed not about the failing, I fail myself in many things probably in this one as well, but Amazed of all the things you are bringing to the table that must are not able to bring in a basic simple fun and creative way to get. and there you have it one of many other lovely KK things.
Great video Katie and thanks for focusing on the bits other people miss out. All to often the beginning gets missed out as people like to just go straight into the hard graft so to speak. The best thing anyone can do is get your body tuned so you can actually do the hard graft otherwise it will all be for nothing. Thanks for the link to Phil's book. As I'm actually watching from my hospital bed after having knee surgery this morning still a bit high off the morphine hence the waffle.🤣 I'll be buying this book as part of my recovery plan so I can get back on my bike stronger than before. Cheers Katie and thanks Phil for writing it. 👍😁
Nice channelling of your inner Monty Python right before the tests KK 😃 I can safely say I’d be a fail, so I’ll vicariously live through you for now. Seriously though, Phil is so insightful & informative. At least I’ll have a starting point.
A big fail for me on the knee to the wall test, around half the required distance away. Good timing for me as I know I need to get back to some strength work. One book purchase incoming!
Cheers Rando, glad you like. Yeah Phil said it took around 18 months to write that book, and I was trying to condense part of it into a ten min TH-cam vid 😂 But we will have more vids of the next stages. Better to do all this before getting an injury!!! :)
Another brilliant and helpful video 👍. Also well timed as I was just discussing with a work mate about looking into just this sort of thing. Had to try the knee against the wall thing, cats looked completely puzzled. So judgmental. I need to order those books, think they will be really handy.
Already bought and read Phil's book. I thought his tests for flexibility were very good and thorough. By my standards I think I passed them all but I don't know how I would have performed if judged by the master himself. All exercises to improve your flexibility etc. seemed to be well explained. I'll probably do them to stay in tip-top condition. Waiting for the second edition of his bike fit book now - due out in April.
@@KatieKookaburra I hope he's given you a suitable acknowledgement. I notice in the about the author section of his conditioning book it's all about UCI, British Cycling blah blah blah, rather than worked with Katie K "the bonkers woman doing bonkers distances" 😉
Good session with Phil, strength training is a must for cyclists in my book and particularly upper body strength. I can manage leg presses, standing calves and barbell squats, however I struggle on chest and shoulder exercises. I started the gym end of last year and its important to do 3 weekly sessions of 1 hour each and get on your bike as well it really helps.
Fantastic tips from Phil, can't wait to find a pole to test myself. Sounds quite logical to get the basic movements good before building up more strength exercises in the gym.
That serves me as a reminder that I need to finally buy those books I've been keeping in my cart forever! 📖 I also hate the feeling of ignoring things, of ignorance in general, so I welcome those kinds of very informative videos. Great job the two of you, that's what you call productive influencing, it is making an impact all the way down here in Italy too 😃🙂
Very good advice, thanks for sharing them. I've learned the importance of all these flexibility things a bit too late, so it was obviously a much much bigger procedure to cure my spine first, then add in flexibility exercises and then strength. But I still say I was lucky to learn them - even if late - and now my spine works great, but I have to do my daily routine to keep it that way. So even if you don't have any problems yet, consider working with a physio to keep your body maintained. It is a good investment. Too bad people don't really care when they are still young, as everything works fine then :) Btw beautiful pain faces, Katie 😛
I think most of the viewers will use the books as a doorstop. got to do the exercises but since most of us dont bother stretching I cant see that happening. As Phil said you dont need a gym to do a lot of these. My wife who is ridiculously flexible doesnt bother.Some free weights at home, regular stretching, planks etc. Weight bearing exercises are good for the prevention of onset of Osteoporosis but you have to do the exercises and load the weights. Pilates/Yoga are useful for core strength
I think you’ve sold out stock of Phil’s book - just had a “revised delivery date” from my Amazon order, very vague date range, might be half way through March!
I was curious about the Knee to Wall test. Would't that depend on how long your legs were. I have little short legs - so I'm guessing it would be harder for me to reach to the wall than someone with long legs like you Katie?
Hii there I have a chip fracture on my ankle aswell as a sprained ankle. What exercise can I do to keep fit. I am unable to cycle at the moment and it is driving me crazy.
HAHAHAHA John!!!!! I actually laughed out loud reading that, thank you for my morning belly laugh! It was the castanets!!! hahaha sorry!!! It still really tickles me now reading it back. But right, serious mode on.... I wish I could say... but I would maybe ask a physio. Is it painful??
@@KatieKookaburra No pain, just a fairly loud clicking noise. I suspect that as my knee got close to the wall and I reached the limit of my flexibility a tendon was snapping back and forth. If I stop doing the test it'll go away and the problem will be solved.
Why don’t you buy a whole set of dumbbells and use at home? It’s convenient to do whenever you feel like it. And you don’t usually need really heavy things and machines from the gym
Great vid Katie, Phil Burt's Torture Chamber ! At least you're safe in the knowledge you're getting advice from a REAL expert. Just start with a few basic bodyweight exercises, press ups, dips, three or four times a week, that will give you a great foundation before hitting the heavy stuff. Take care, Spring's coming 🐿🦔
I told you this right from the start - yoga, calisthenics and moderate weight training. I think you'd be a much stronger cyclist/athlete if you gave up your vegan lifestyle and thought how you can BEST fuel your body to achieve the best you can possibly be which would mean getting protein from quality meats, not the rubbish stuff, eggs and oily fish, still eat lots of veg. A vegan diet is fine I guess if you want to live a fairly inactive sedentary life but once you become highly active such as cycling or running, becoming an endurance athlete then no, you need a much better diet that can meet your body's needs to do what you want to do, to be the best you possibly can. In any case a vegan diet is based around carbs and sugar which is a ticket to insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and full on T2 diabetes.
@@KatieKookaburra Trolling??? Unless you did change your diet? Good that you are finally getting around to yoga, proper strength and resistance training. You'll be an Iron lady yet.
This has been one of the most helpful videos I have watched on youtube. Such a help for a stiff oldie like me.
The great thing I’ve had from my physio was actually getting some exercises & stretches on an email with links to videos and a little basic tickbox record I could make. Where I’ve been before they talk you through them and then the next day you’re going “what were those exercises again?”.

I look forward to your sessions with Phil. He’s brilliant

Serge!!!!! That is the loveliest comment 🤍🤍🤍 Well to be fair, it’s Phil that makes these videos let’s be honest ha! Glad you found it useful x
Katie, You're the best! Thanks for sharing. I love your sense of humor!!
Haha ahhh thanks xx
These videos/lessons with Phil are great!
Paying it all forward 😇
That was really interesting Katie 😁 I’ve just ordered Phil’s book!
Great video Katie and thanks for focusing on the bits other people miss out.

Well I was going to go straight to the gym sessions and Phil was like….. WHOAAAAA THERE!!! Ha. He really does care about people. Proper top bloke!
Phil's a wizard. Thank you Katie.

Excellent video. Look forward to the next ones in the series. It looks like I have work to do once my collarbone heals.
Super video. More of that please!
Very useful thanks Katie and Phil, I fail most of those. Something to work on, foam roller torture here I come.😬
Foam rollers are the devil while doing it… but legs feels like spaghetti after 🙃
@@KatieKookaburra I agree the one my oesteopath recommended by davina mccall is truly evil. 😁
More things to do. Post crash like you and Phil has some great words. Time to crack on and do it.
I wish I had done all this a few months ago. But getting stuck in now 😋
A big fail for me on the knee to the wall test, around half the required distance away. Good timing for me as I know I need to get back to some strength work. One book purchase incoming!
This was an amazing video with advice worth hundreds of 💰 but here for free. You've done a great service with this one. Thank you! 😀

Ciao!! 😎 Yeah I’ve been putting it off for aaaages so I need to actually start doing the work ha.

@@KatieKookaburra - hey, they’ve revised their date again and now it’s coming next week whoop 🙌 whoop 🙌
Great vid
The amazon link for book says it ships in 1-2 months
Not a huge fan of digital editions
Hmmm, where are you based?
No more injuries for Katie!
I was curious about the Knee to Wall test. Would't that depend on how long your legs were. I have little short legs - so I'm guessing it would be harder for me to reach to the wall than someone with long legs like you Katie?
Excellent stuff !! :)
Would be interested to know what the size/make of roller Phil was using - looks a much better size than the one I have.
Again a perfekt informative Video ! 👍
Cheers Karl 😎
Hii there
I have a chip fracture on my ankle aswell as a sprained ankle. What exercise can I do to keep fit. I am unable to cycle at the moment and it is driving me crazy.
Oooh a chip fracture on the ankle. Does it hurt swimming? Just thinking of non-weight bearing activities that don't rely on your ankle loads.
Very informative, thanks!
No problemo Jakob 👍🏼
8:37 my face when I have to do any of these exercises.
Awesome thanks
I wish Phil was my physio. Greetings from Mexico
Ace video ✨🎆
Thank you Katie 🌞
☮️kevin
What a great video Katie! More of the same please 👍🏻
JuSt watched this while Zwifting. . Bloody brilliant book on order !!
Happy Zwifting! 🤍😎
A reminder that this area of fitness is often overlooked
super helpful (and painful!) thanks!
When I tried the "knee to wall" test, my knees began clicking like castanets as I got close to the wall. What is that telling me?
HAHAHAHA John!!!!! I actually laughed out loud reading that, thank you for my morning belly laugh! It was the castanets!!! hahaha sorry!!! It still really tickles me now reading it back. But right, serious mode on.... I wish I could say... but I would maybe ask a physio. Is it painful??

"Katie fails!" hahahaha... I guess I would have failed all of them.
this was awesome
Cheers Mike, super important stuff. Phil deserves a bloody medal!

These are the pre cursers to even press ups 🙈 Phil knows his stuff. And is a corker for the out takes 🤣😂
What a beauty

I pretty much failed all of them, but I expected that anyway
After watching I venture into the garage to find a tent pole and a tape measure....
You can dooooo it Mr S!
I got to stay the thumb nail didn’t look good as first 😳. 😂
Eh??
Pretty sure there are no broad shouldered men who can get their fists anywhere near each other behind them like that.
I will ask Phil next time I’m there to show us how it’s done 😉
Your getting twisted like a pretzel 🥨
🙈
Good to watch but a full fail for everything.
Tom that means you can only improve, right! So get on those foam rollers and trigger point balls :)
What a great video, look forward to future ones.
