June is Men's Health Month-the number of hip & knee replacements is going up and the age of those receiving them is going down.

You can be active and avoid surgery. Not sure how? Reach out, call me at 630-968-7827 we specialize in joint health during exercise. Before I studied Optimal movement strategies from I really had no clue about running optimally, working out optimally, because of not knowing the optimal movement strategies I need to get a knee replacement. Now after years of studying with I have been able to keep my joints stronger so I can recover faster after surgery. My mission with is to help others to stay healthy by sharing with them optimal movement strategies. If you would like to to learn more give me a call at 630-968-7827

A. Very popular exercise that most of the time is done non optimal . The Forward Lunge is a popular exercise. When doing it optimally it is a great exercise for you glutes, legs, core and more.

When performing suboptimally it can begin to wreak havoc on your knees.

Keep your weight over the forward leg. Your knees will go over your toes.

When you push back from the lunge position, push from your foot NOT by extending your back.

If you can't do this, shorten your stride. If you would like assistance call me at 630-968-7827 or email Info@sohmar.com or www.Sohmar.com

Your car requires the wheels to be in proper alignment to avoid excessive wear and tear. When they are aligned your car is able to run efficiently. I had a car like that I ignored the signs of a complete breakdown. So don’t ignore the signs your body is giving.

Your joints are the same. Avoid excessive wear and tear on your joints and need for surgery by moving and exercising with your joints in good alignment.

Not sure what that means for you? Wonder if you are working out in good alignment? You would bring your car to the mechanic so bring your body to a skilled body mechanic.

Reach out, we can help. Call 630-968-7827 or email Info@sohmar.com

🧠How do you know how your exercise is impacting your nervous system? You assess...

What can you easily assess to determine the impact? Range of motion (ROM).

Deadlifts bother many people’s backs. Doctors often tell their clients to not deadlift. That is the absolutely wrong advice unless they’ve done a thorough assessment on the individual’s ROM and motor control strategy.

Note how even 6 repetitions of not maintaining my A, B, C’s - alignment, breathing, and control - impacts my nervous system and hence ROM. Note how I use a simple corrective exercise pattern to restore my ROM. Then maintaining my A, B, C’s allows me to successfully maintain ROM.

ℹ️ In the Integrative Movement System™ Approach, we don’t guess...we assess. We use self-checks to determine how an exercise impacts ROM and when our clients are ready to progress.

If you are not assessing, you’re guessing about how your program is impacting your client.

If you’re not respecting A, B, C’s your messing with your client’s nervous system. It’s always your choice how you assess and teach exercise.

We need to take care of our mind and body. They are intimately connected. They both need to be healthy for us to be our best. Whenever I was training for either an Ironman or a marathon I needed to also train my mind by either meditation or positive thoughts. As my mind got stronger my body did as well.
