New Moves- From Theory to Practice
In this episode, Brian and Nora talk about closed chain and open chain and how they impact muscle activation, joint stability and coordination. This conversation is an excellent example of our thought process when we designing and modifying new exercises. For examples we focus on firing the adductors independently and modifying range of motion to balance glute and hamstring activation. This is a look "behind the curtain" of creating new moves.

New Moves!
Everyone sees creative and occasionally provocative exercises on social media. Before teaching the exercise, we ask ourselves the following questions: 1) What is the purpose of the exercise. 2) Who is the exercise for. 3) Is it safe for this client or class and 4) How might I need to adapt it for clients who are taller, shorter, tighter or looser. Whether you create new exercises to address a particular movement pattern, to add variety to a workout or to help a client in pain move more comfortably, let's talk about why, how and when to create new exercises.Moving Conversation Socials Email: movingconvos@gmail.comIG: @movingconvosFB: Moving ConversationsYoutube: @BrianRicheyBrianIG: @fit4lifedcFB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/NoraIG: nora.s.john.7FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-conversations/id1669504158?i=1000650467168 https://open.spotify.com/show/6cmgm8T0ZiC5wu6yhXrw9g#movingconversations
