Jump up and land with arms straight out to the side and feet wide, jump up again, and return to start. Repeat with a faster cadence, constantly moving. I looks like you are making snow angels, but standing up. You see people in the military doing that. 1 1

Susan Ewart Posted January 15 Posted January 15 7 hours ago, Michele said: P = Pull-ups...I could never do those in school. No upper body strength. It's a toughie for sure. It's starts with scapular retraction which most people don't do, they tend to pull with the bicep first thus not engaging the back very well (biceps are a tiny muscle group to be doing all that work). Assisted pulls ups are great too! (with bands or on an assissted pull up machine at the gym). 2
Susan Ewart Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Q = Quadratus Lumborum (QL's) This muscles attach on the back side (posterior) of you, bottom 4 ribs to the pelvis. They are work-a-holics and will take over if your core isn't doing work (ie. no being engaged when it should be). Often the culprit of sore low back problems. I banged one side so hard once that one side got twisted in the fascia (called QL syndrome) and caused all kinds of havoc for 3 months until my massage therapist was able to get it untwisted. 1 2
