Bands are an easy and effective way to get a workout done at home or on the road. These two exercises are a great superset to work the weak muscles causing low back and neck pain.

The first organized sport I played was soccer in first grade. I didn’t know it would lead to playing in high school, college, on an adult semi pro team, and open the door to international traveling.

I have attended collegiate national semifinals, MLS games, Premier League match, non league football in England, the Charity Shield Match in England, various exhibition matches with international teams, and matches at the Euros in Germany in 2024. My ultimate goal since learning about the World Cup in the mid 80’s is to attend one.

On Sunday in Houston, goal accomplished!

Is Your Balance a Little Shaky Lately?

Trust me, you’re not alone. If you don’t prioritize and practice, you’ll fall and fall more often! Balance works in all directions, not just linear.

Work these exercises into your leg day or lower body routine. They don’t need to be a superset, they are great for the gym or home workout. No weight needed, I promise!

Try these moves and post in the comments how you did!

As you move beyond 40, have you noticed movements you used to do in your 20s and 30s are more difficult? You probably don't want to admit to it, you're not alone. The brain and the body do not connect like they used to.

In this episode I talk about how you can work on advanced motor control to make tasks like hauling and holding your groceries while unlocking the front door at the same time, easier. Building strength, coordination, and stability require your brain and body working together as a unit. I'll tell you about specific exercise to help you be better at your daily tasks.

How Do Your Reduce Low Back Pain 😞?

Strengthen your core and hamstrings. Planks are the perfect way to strengthen and stabilize your core. Using a ball is an advanced move and not for everyone. Get a basic plank first before incorporating a ball.

The 1 leg RDL improves hamstring strength and works on your balance. Weak hamstrings are typical of desk jockeys. Use this exercise to strengthen your hamstrings and take stress off your lower back.

Improve Strength, Coordination, and Balance While Reducing Low Back Pain

Advanced motor control training works your body and brain. This exercise stabilizes and strengthens your weak posterior muscles. Start with 2 legs and progress to 1 leg. Pick a weighted ball you can hold without problems. I used a 20 lb ball.

“Low and “Slow”!

Eccentric control training emphasizes the “down” part of any exercise. Count 3 seconds down then 1 second back up.

This leg exercise works on balance, coordination, and strength. It’s a great addition to your or any in your plan.

The proof in your workouts are how well you handle advanced motor control exercises.

It’s simple to do a bench press, squat, and dumbbell curls. Can you combine strength, coordination, and balance into a single exercise?

This move combines core stabilization with balance, coordination, and corrective shoulder movement. You can be on your knees as a regression. Perform 1-2 sets of 12 reps per arm.
