Listen to the latest episode on the Movement Logic

Listen to the latest episode on the Movement Logic Podcast about the best (not body-building!) exercises for strength, delivered to you by yours truly, Laurel, a non-bruh yoga teacher.

Short on time? Here are the 5 tips I name for *how to think about* strength exercises when making your choices:

#1 — train movements not muscles, namely the squat/lunge, hinge, upper body push & upper body pull.

#2 — decide how many exercises you can do in a session. Be realistic about how much time it takes for the sets (and rest in between). Typically for me, realistically, 1 set takes about about 3-4 minutes on average.

#3 — based on your answer for #2, prioritize selecting multi-joint exercises over single joint exercises because they train more muscle mass and are a better use of your time (especially if time is limited.)

#4 — train full body and hit all the “macronutrients for strength” (those movement categories I named in tip #1) rather than doing a split routine like leg day, back and chest day, biceps and triceps day. Split routines are a body-building thing, ya know? The benefit of full body is every session you train strength in the major movements and because of that, every week, you’ll hit those movements more frequently (every workout) which is key for building strength if you don’t have 4-5 days a week to workout.

#5 — order your exercises strategically so that it’s logical in terms of the exercise demands, but also so you’re putting your individual strength priorities first (sorta like triage.)

Jesal here 👋

I LOVE using a bench in all of my movement practices…except for Bulgarian Split Squats 🤪😳🫠

That’s when the bench goes from best friends to worst enemy. Who can relate?

Anyway this is a very short snippet of an upcoming tutorial I’m working on for @movementlogictutorials Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for more to come on that. In the meantime, get on the email list for updates.

In Episode 8 of the Movement Logic podcast I’m joined by my friend and colleague @TrinaAltman. Together, we discuss Trina’s experience with perimenopause.

Trina shares her personal story along with tons of resources for women going through this change of life. We discuss:

—What is perimenopause?

—Doctors have a tendency to minimize women’s suffering

—Brain fog and hot flashes

—Challenges women face when navigating the medical system

—Finding a doctor that spends more time with you AND is evidence-based AND is current on the research

—The Women’s Health Initiative and fear they created (through highly questionable handling and interpretation of the data) around estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

—Weight gain and perimenopause

—Scope appropriate advice for movement teachers working with perimenopausal and menopausal students

TRINA’S BIO:

Trina received her training through STOTT Pilates® and is an E-RYT 500. She created Yoga Deconstructed® and Pilates Deconstructed® to show teachers how to take an interdisciplinary approach to foster an embodied understanding of yoga and Pilates in relation to modern movement science.

Neutral spine is such a funny thing. It’s a position that is sometimes overemphasized and underexplored.

This is my way of adding self-exploration and play back into the mix when finding nuetral spine for plank or chaturanga and all their variations. It’s simple but not easy. You’ll def feel some work happening. Plus over time, you’ll learn what’s “neutral” for your body rather than relying on a trainer or yoga teacher to tell you what they think is neutral for you.

Process is easy. Find plank. Drop your knees. Okay I’m cat and cat while your knees stay behind the hips. Once you find your version of neutral, practice some scapula push-ups (aka mini shoulder pushups). Have fun!

Episode 7 of the @movementlogictutorials podcast is up! In this solo episode, @sarahcourtdpt tackles the tricky subject of pain, and whether it’s always bad if our clients and students have pain. She discusses the situations in which pain might be acceptable, and gives concrete tools and approaches for you to use with your clients who are having pain.

➡️What’s the difference between acute and chronic pain?

➡️When might it be ok - and when would it not be ok - for your students to have pain?

➡️How to avoid generating fear for your students around their pain experience

➡️How much pain would be acceptable for someone to have?

➡️How to tease out different sensations to help your client have greater discernment around what they’re feeling in their body

Here’s what @sarahcourtdpt has to say about #yog

Here’s what @sarahcourtdpt has to say about #yogaeverydamnday:

We have to figure out how to deal less in absolutes and more in nuance.

We have to be able to grow and learn and change our minds.

For a long time I believed the only physical activity I needed was yoga asana, partly because that’s what I had been told by my teachers. When a PT told me to stop doing it, I was extremely frustrated (and eventually went back to class, because they hadn’t given me anything else to do, nor had they impacted my pain in a meaningful way).

Now, older and hopefully wiser, asana practice is a slice of my movement pie, not the whole pie. It’s on us as movement teachers to accurately educate our students and when we learn more, teach them more.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments and don’t forget to listen to the episode wherever you get your podcasts (and subscribe if you want to keep learning).

Look, while we are professionals, we don’t know

Look, while we are professionals, we don’t know everything (gasp!) and neither one of us knew the government guidelines for exercise. (To be fair, Sarah looked it up before we recorded this episode of the @movementlogictutorials podcast.)

While guidelines like this can be and are useful, in the end, the best exercise to get into is the kind that you’re going to enjoy doing - and if you can find a few things that complement each other (dance class and strength training, Pilates and hiking, ice hockey and yoga, to name a few), that’s even better.

In this episode, @sarahcourtdpt and @laurelbeversdorf discuss the question that seems hard to answer: what is the right amount for people to exercise? We also look at ways to motivate people to want to exercise, and why a lot of yoga asana practitioners end up overdoing the asana and undergoing everything else.
