did you know five simple exercises can drastically change how your body looks and feels so let's Jump Right In with our first exercise the dead hang now you've probably seen people in the gym just hanging from the bar with no movement and wondered uh how is this even helpful well this simple movement is one of the most effective ways to improve your shoulder Health decompress your spine and strengthen your grip don't worry if you don't have access to a gym you can easily use a cheap doorway pull bar right at your home if you do

a lot of sitting throughout the day you'll definitely want to learn the correct way to hang so here's how you do it find a pull-up bar or sturdy overhead structure grip that bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart let your body hang naturally keep your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged try to hold this for about 20 to 30 seconds to start and then gradually work yourself up to like 1 or 2 minutes trust me if you've never done it before it is not as easy as it looks so you're going to

want to start off with some shorter holds all right now that we've loosened up the shoulders and strengthened your grip it's time to shift the focus to the lower body and core with the glute bridge now this exercise is great for building glute strength improving core stability and easing tight hip flexors these are some commonly overlooked areas of the Body for men when they're putting together a workout routine by targeting the often neglected glute muscles it helps to stabilize your pelvis and supports your lower back making everyday movements like walking or climbing stairs or lifting

heavy objects more effortless and pain-free if physical activity feels like a challenge or you've experienced lower back tension the glute Bridge is a musthave in your routine to make you feel younger and stronger so let me show you how to do it lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground hip width apart press through your heels as you lift your hips off the ground squeezing your glutes up at the top remember to keep your core tight throughout the entire movement hold this for 2 to 3 seconds and then

slowly lower yourself back down after just a couple sets of this exercise you're going to feel your lower back start to really light up but if this exercise is too easy for you you can try a single leg variation or put a little bit of weight across your hips I'm pretty sure you're going to be looking forward to the fifth exercise because it's one that reverse years of damage that's been done to your entire back it uses rotational movement but more on that coming up right now we're at the farmer carry this is simple but

incredibly effective at first glance it may look like just walking with weights but this movement provides a full body workout that builds the muscles in your shoulder girdle strengthens your grip stabilizes your core and enhances overall balance and coordination it's also going to to challenge your posture as you resist the natural pull of the weights trying to tip you off balance now this exercise isn't just about building strength it's also about functionality it mimics real life activities such as you know carrying groceries or hauling luggage through an airport the farmers's carry not only makes these

everyday tasks easier but it also reduces the risk of injuries by training your body to handle heavy loads safely and efficiently so to perform this exercise grab a pair of dumbbells kettle bells or really any heavy objects that you can hold securely start with a manageable weight and gradually increase as your strength improves Stand Tall with your shoulders back chest up and core engaged if it helps imagine that there's a string pulling you up from the top of your head to help maintain a straight spine begin walking forward slowly and deliberately taking steady controlled steps

focus on maintaining a stable upright posture and keeping the weights close to your body aim to walk for like 30 to 60 seconds per carry as you grow stronger you can increase either the weight or the duration of the carry now that we've focused on building strength and stability let's shift gears and dive into a movement that restores mobility and flexibility the resting squat is one of the most restorative and foundational movements for the human body it's a position that humans are designed to spend time in but due to Modern Lifestyles you know long hours

sitting in chairs tight hips and reduced lower body strength many people struggle to get into or even to hold this position this exercise not only builds strength in your legs and core but it also improves the mobility of your ankles hips and knees it's particularly helpful for tasks like you know bending down to pick something up gardening or even sitting comfortably on the floor look if if you've ever struggled to squat down without feeling tightness or imbalance this movement right here is essential for regaining that natural functionality it's also going to transfer over to a

lot of other exercises that you will want to perform and make them a lot easier to do now I know it looks easy but I suggest easing yourself into this I wouldn't go all the way down right at the beginning you're going to want to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your toes slightly turned out to a comfortable Angle now slowly sink down into a deep squat position make sure to keep your heels flat on the ground your chest upright and your back neutral aim to stay in the squat for like 20 to

30 seconds at first and then gradually increase to like one or 2 minutes over time if maintaining your balance is a challenge just hold on to a sturdy object like a countertop or a chair for some extra stability keep your heels down throughout the entire exercise avoid Rising onto your toes as that will put unnecessary strain on your knees and reduce the effectiveness of the entire exercise your knees should track just over your toes and your chest should remain lifted to avoid rounding your back when most people work out they often forget that rotational movement

is a key aspect of overall functional fitness and that's why I included thread the needle in this video this exercise is a highly effective rotational movement that targets the thoracic spine shoulders and upper back it's a very simple yet very powerful way to improve your flexibility reduce tension and increase rotational Mobility things that all lead to living a better life with less pain and more Mobility as we age so if you spend long hours sitting at a desk or frequently feel tightness in your shoulders and upper back this exercise is a must poor posture repetitive

motions and lack of rotation in daily life often lead to stiffness in your upper body thread the needle will help counteract these issues by opening up the thoracic spine and restoring fluidity to your movements follow closely how to do it and then we'll be getting into that structured workout routine that I mentioned earlier you're going to start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips keep your back neutral reach one arm underneath your body threading it through the space between your opposite arm and leg the eye of the

needle allow your torso to rotate as you follow your arm with your eyes now extend that arm as far as possible while keeping your hips stable and facing forward hold for a moment to feel the stretch in your upper back then when you thread your arm back through you're going to continue rotating and reach up to the sky still following your hand with your eyes you're going to want to avoid rushing through this motion focus on slow deliberate movements in order to maximize the stretch and improve Mobility if you want to challenge yourself you can

add resistance by holding a light resistance band or weight in your moving hand to activate additional muscles and deepen that stretch all right now's the time for me to show you how you can combine these exercises into a very quick and effective workout that you can do three times a week up first you're going to dead hang for three sets of 30 seconds over time you can build this up to 1 or 2 minutes then you're going to do a glute bridge two sets of 10 to 15 repetitions then over to the farmer carry and

you're going to walk for 30 to 60 seconds for three rounds after that we thread the needle two sets of 10 repetitions per side and finally the resting Squad which you're going to hold for like 20 to 30 seconds for 2 to three rounds as always be sure to rest for about a minute in between your sets in total this workout takes about 20 minutes and addresses strength mobility and flexibility this workout consistently done three times per week will yield noticeable results so share this video with a friend that you think would also find it
