Use BFR and A Resistance Band For An Effective Workout

Gary Berger — Fri, 12 Aug 2022 16:30:05 +0000

In this video, I demonstrate using the SAGA BFR Cuffs with minimal equipment…in this case just one resistance band. The BFR cuffs fatigue the muscles at a much faster rate and have been shown help increase muscle size and strength.

The reps and sets for each exercise are as follows:

Set 1: 30 reps, Sets 2-4: 15 reps each, 30 second to 1 minute break between sets.

If you’re interested in a more in-depth video focusing on how BFR works and the research behind the cuffs, then check out this video: “How To Increase Strength and Build Muscle Using Light Weights (With #BFR)” https://youtu.be/E4-JO2sm2_w

The BFR cuffs made by https://saga.fitness/ are the ones that I recommend.

Use “Monster Walks” To Warm Up The Hips

Gary Berger — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 19:00:09 +0000

If you have a resistance band, here are a couple of simple and useful warm-up sequences to get the hips warmed up.

Monster Walks are a great way to activate the muscles around the hips to get you prepped for activity.

Side stepping, forward diagonal stepping, and backward diagonal stepping.

3 Essential Core Exercises

Gary Berger — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 19:00:02 +0000

In this video I show some of the absolute best core stability exercises, “The McGill Big 3.” These exercises were created by Dr. Stu McGill and can be found in his book, “The Back Mechanic.”

Here is a quick explanation of each exercise and my reps and sets recommendations:

1. Modified Curl Up: 1 set, 5 reps, 3-5 sec holds

Lie your back with one knee bent and one knee straight, this puts your pelvis in a neutral position and the muscles of your core in an optimal alignment of pull to avoid strain on the low back. Place your hands under the arch of your low back and ensure that this arch is maintained throughout the curl-up. Start by bracing your abdomen and maintain alignment with the neck and upper back. Pick a spot on the ceiling and focus your gaze there, lift your shoulder blades off the floor and slowly return to the start position.

2. Side Plank: 1 set, 3-5 reps, 10-15 sec holds

Lie on your side and place your elbow directly under your shoulder. With your legs straight, place your top foot on the ground in front of your bottom foot. Maintain a neutral spine and try to keep the back straight (don’t forget to engage muscle around the shoulder blade).

3. Bird-Dog: 1 set, 5 reps, 5 sec holds

Start on your hands and knees with your hands under the shoulders and knees under the hips. Maintain a neutral spine. Lift your arm in front and kick your opposite leg straight back while keeping your hips level (avoid rotation). Return to the starting position and repeat on opposite arm and leg. That is one repetition.
