My 100 Days Challenge: Understand Human Anatomy and Exercise Science Day 21: Understanding Muscle Fibers. Welcome to Day 21 of my 100 Days Challenge! For those who are new, this challenge is all about educating people and helping them understand the fascinating world of body and exercise science . Each day, I dive into a different aspect of our amazing bodies in connection with fitness, shedding light on how they function and how we can take better care of them. Today, we’re focusing on Muscle Fibers. Muscle fibers are the building blocks of muscles, consisting of long, cylindrical cells that are capable of contracting and generating force. These fibers are classified into three main types: slow-twitch (Type I), fast-twitch (Type IIa), and fast-twitch (Type IIb), each suited for different types of physical activity. Slow-twitch fibers are endurance-oriented, supporting activities like long-distance running by using oxygen efficiently. Fast-twitch fibers, on the other hand, are designed for short bursts of power and speed, such as sprinting or weightlifting, but fatigue more quickly. The composition and function of muscle fibers determine an individual's physical capabilities and performance. #kotiforfitness #100dayschallenge #vancouver #anatomyandphysiology #bodyscience #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #usa #training #health #fitfam #healthylifestyle #love #lifestyle #athlete #commando #sport #instagood #healthy #muscle #personaltrainer #crossfit #exercise #weightloss #fitnessjourney #musclefibers #canada #fitnesscoach

My 100 Days Challenge: Understand Human Anatomy and Exercise Science Day 16: Understanding Abdominal Muscles. Welcome to Day 16 of my 100 Days Challenge! For those who are new, this challenge is all about educating people and helping them understand the fascinating world of body and exercise science . Each day, I dive into a different aspect of our amazing bodies in connection with fitness, shedding light on how they function and how we can take better care of them. Today, we’re focusing on Abdominal Muscles. The abdominal muscles, commonly referred to as the abs, play a crucial role in the body’s overall function and stability. They consist of several muscle groups, including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, and the internal and external obliques. The rectus abdominis, often known as the "six-pack" muscle, runs vertically along the front of the abdomen and is responsible for flexing the spine and helping with movements like bending forward. The transverse abdominis is the deepest layer of abdominal muscles and wraps around the torso from front to back and from the ribs to the pelvis. It acts like a corset, stabilizing the spine and pelvis and providing core stability. Strengthening this muscle is essential for maintaining good posture and reducing the risk of back pain. The internal and external obliques are located on the sides of the abdomen. These muscles allow the trunk to twist and bend sideways. They also play a role in stabilizing the core during various activities, from simple daily movements to more intense physical exercises. Engaging in exercises that target these muscles, such as side planks and rotational movements, can enhance overall core strength and stability. #kotiforfitness #100dayschallenge #vancouver #anatomyandphysiology #bodyscience #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #usa #training #health #fitfam #healthylifestyle #love #lifestyle #athlete #commando #sport #instagood #healthy #muscle #personaltrainer #crossfit #exercise #weightloss #fitnessjourney #testosterone #canada #fitnesscoach

My 100 Days Challenge: Understand Human Anatomy and Exercise Science Day 36: Understanding Muscle. Welcome to Day 36 of my 100 Days Challenge! For those who are new, this challenge is all about educating people and helping them understand the fascinating world of body and exercise science . Each day, I dive into a different aspect of our amazing bodies in connection with fitness, shedding light on how they function and how we can take better care of them. Today, we’re focusing on Muscle. Muscle fibers are organized into a complex structure composed of several layers. The innermost layer is the endomysium, which surrounds each individual muscle fiber, providing support and carrying small blood vessels and nerves. Bundles of these muscle fibers, known as fascicles, are then wrapped in another connective tissue layer called the perimysium. Finally, the entire muscle is encased in the epimysium, a thick, protective layer that helps to maintain the muscle’s shape and facilitates the transmission of force generated by muscle contractions to the tendons, which then move the bones. These layers work together to ensure efficient muscle function and protection. #kotiforfitness #100dayschallenge #vancouver #anatomyandphysiology #bodyscience #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #usa #training #health #fitfam #healthylifestyle #love #lifestyle #athlete #commando #sport #instagood #healthy #muscle #personaltrainer #crossfit #exercise #weightloss #fitnessjourney #muscle #canada #fitnesscoach

🤕Tight hip flexors? Before you start stretching away, have you considered they may be weak?💪 Runners often experience tightness in their hip flexors during or after a run. But instead of assuming stretching is the solution, consider that strengthening might be needed. Fatigue in muscles can create the sensation of tightness, especially in those lacking strength. In such cases, stretching offers temporary relief, while building strength is the long-term solution. To determine if your hip flexors are tight, weak, or both, here are some effective tests:: 🔎Mobility: Modified Thomas test. The goal here is for the thigh to be below parallel with the floor. 🔎Strength screening: Standing knee to chest. Are you able to maintain this end-range position? 🔎Strength endurance: Anterior Powerline Bunkie test. The normal result on this test is 40 seconds & less than 10% asymmetry 🔎Strength: Hip flexion. Using a hand-held dynamometer, the goal for runners here is 35% of body weight & less than 10% asymmetry Depending on your results will then dictate whether you require more strength, mobility, or both! 👋Runners & health professionals save & share this if you found it useful 🤓Health professionals, if you want to learn more about treating runners, check our upcoming Online & Face to Face “MAT Assessing the Runner” courses. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gN8JeKsV . . . . #hip #hipstretch #hipstrength #mobility #strength #stretchorstrength #hippain #running #runnersofinstagram #sportschiropractic #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #osteopathy #chiropractic #hipmobility MAT - Movement Assessment Technologies

Unlock the secret to a powerful, V-shaped back with this cable row technique! In this video, I’m breaking down how to fully engage the latissimus dorsi—the key muscle for that wide, "upside-down Dorito" look. By focusing on a full range of motion, I'm ensuring each rep maximizes muscle activation, targeting the lats for optimal growth. Notice how I extend fully at the beginning of the row, then squeeze at the end to engage those lats deeply. This controlled movement is crucial for building a strong, wide back. Incorporate this technique into your routine, and watch your back muscles expand and your overall physique transform! #StackSATsGetFit ⚡💪🏽 #BetterMoneyBetterBodies 🍊💊 #Fitness 🦵🏽🏃🏽♂️ #Consistency 🐌🕦 #Discipline 🗝️🔒 #FitnessMotivation 💯👍🏽 #FitOver30 🤔💭 #IntuitiveEating 🥗🥩 @ProofOfWorkFitness 🤳🏽🏋🏽♂️

My 100 Days Challenge: Understand Human Anatomy and Exercise Science Day 18: Understanding Synovial Joints. Welcome to Day 18 of my 100 Days Challenge! For those who are new, this challenge is all about educating people and helping them understand the fascinating world of body and exercise science . Each day, I dive into a different aspect of our amazing bodies in connection with fitness, shedding light on how they function and how we can take better care of them. Today, we’re focusing on Synovial Joints. Synovial joints, also known as diarthroses, are the most common and movable type of joint in the human body. Characterized by a fluid-filled synovial cavity, these joints allow for a wide range of motion. The articulating bone surfaces within a synovial joint are covered with hyaline cartilage, reducing friction and absorbing shock. The synovial fluid within the cavity lubricates the joint, further facilitating smooth movement. Examples of synovial joints include the knee, elbow, shoulder, and hip, each providing different types and ranges of motion essential for daily activities and overall mobility. #kotiforfitness #100dayschallenge #vancouver #anatomyandphysiology #bodyscience #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #usa #training #health #fitfam #healthylifestyle #love #lifestyle #athlete #commando #sport #instagood #healthy #muscle #personaltrainer #crossfit #exercise #weightloss #fitnessjourney #testosterone #canada #fitnesscoach

Is Getting Older Starting To take It's Toll On Your Body? As we age keeping fit is essential, but many forms of exercise can be too harsh on our bodies, due to wear and tear through the natural ageing process. We need to be mindful of working around stiff achy muscles and joints and other medical conditions and not make our symptoms worse😢 But we also need to be able to work on improving our muscular and bone strength, mobility, flexibility and balance. 💪🏻 Which for many people these decrease massively as they age. In this article I share with you why Pilates for older adults is a safe and effective way to slow down the ageing process and help keep you moving more freely and easily as you age.

Sooooo... 💪 Adding more muscle tissue 🏋️♂️ Increasing strength 🤸♂️ Improving flexibility ...those adaptations aren't "functional"? Physicians—don't buy into the gimmicky buzzword hype often found in my industry. Now, the drawbacks for physicians are: ❌ Unless you have an excellent home gym, you'll need to commute to and from the gym multiple times per week. That’s why I recommend a home gym. ❌ You won’t get as much carryover to your daily physical activities, hobbies, etc., as you would with free weights and exercises like squats and lunges. Despite the benefits of using machines, I don't cover this in my upcoming book, The Physician Vitality Playbook, releasing at the end of 2024. This omission is due to the drawbacks mentioned above. The best approach to adding lean muscle is using a blend of machines and free weights. Side note: Speaking of gimmicky buzzwords—yes, I’m aware there is no such thing as "lean muscle," but it sounds friendlier to the novice's ear. #𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 #𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 #𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 #𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻 #𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗳𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 #𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲
