Join the Thursday webinar at 10 A.M. and catch the replay. The videos are backed up on Rumble and Odyssey. You can also follow the program on Instagram to support the fight against censorship. Additionally, there is a Monday master class on chronic fatigue syndrome. Don't forget to watch the blood pressure webinar too. The shape of your structure affects your health.

[04:10] The Shape of Your Skeleton Affects How You Move and Breathe :

In Bill Hartman's podcast where he discusses his model of movement and the physical system. There has been a historical approach of looking at body shape to determine health issues, but the shift towards diagnostic testing and MRIs is becoming more prevalent in healthcare.

[06:16] Different Postures and Restrictions can have Consequences on Skeletal Shape and Movement :

Your body will do whatever it takes to breathe, even if it means crushing the spine. Toned up muscles in the neck and traps can cause tension headaches and referral pain. There are two extreme strategies for posture, but the ability to switch between postures is important. Solutions based on muscle strength often ignore the impact of fluid and air shifting and changes in skeletal shape.

[08:25] Managing Body Posture Based on Your Structure is Crucial :

There are two extreme postures to be aware of: extended arched and swayback or Pooch belly. To manage posture, try exercises like backwards bear crawls and flexion.

[10:47] Correct Breathing Technique is Important for Efficient Airflow and Relaxation :

When inhaling, the chest should expand along with the belly and ribs. Breathing through the nose and exhaling through pursed lips promotes relaxation. Specific drills and exercises, such as child's pose, can enhance proper breathing.

[12:55] Improving Posture by Opening the Rib Cage and Reducing Stress :

Correcting forward head posture can help with easier breathing. Compressed and extended posture can affect breathing and the nervous system. Opening the front of the rib cage can reduce stress and improve breathing. Improving posture can also alleviate winging scapula and improve stability.

[14:54] Exercise Selection in Bodybuilding and Powerlifting :

Exercises in bodybuilding and powerlifting are often designed to maximize muscle hypertrophy and strength. However, these exercises can lead to compression and restricted range of motion, limiting breathing and movement. Improper form, such as pulling the shoulder blades together and arching the back, can result in restricted movement of the shoulder blades and spine. Prioritizing proper exercise technique and full range of motion is important.

[16:49] Adjust Exercise Selection for Better Biomechanics :

To improve biomechanics, press on the back or against a wall to engage the low back and knees. Sit with feet on the ground to avoid arching while doing Russian twists. Use dumbbell presses alternating above the head to encourage shifting and movement. Creating variability in movement helps improve efficiency and avoid relying on one strategy. Avoid arching the back during squats to prevent strengthening the wrong muscles.

[18:29] Improper Squat Form can Lead to Long-term Consequences on Hips and Knees :

To protect the body during squats, try squatting with arms out in front and a slight spinal flexion. Loading the weight on a flexed spine position can reduce strain on the hips and knees. Improper squat form can lead to limited range of motion in the hips and compensation with other joints. Changing the shape of the skeleton can help manage torque on elbows, shoulders, and wrists. It's interesting to note that the skeleton can actually change and bend due to pressure and fluids in the body.
