These are 5 foam rolling tips I've developed through trial and error using a foam roller myself. These tips have really helped me get the most out of my foam roller self massage sessions. Foam Rolling Tip 1: I usually don't use a foam roller. I usually use something much more solid. Foam rollers deform too much for my liking and I can't get as much pressure as I need. I only use a foam roller on really, really tender areas. Foam Rolling Tip 2: Don't rush. Move the roller over the target area slowly. Your body needs a good amount of time exposed to a stimulus in order to adapt to it. If you go too fast your tissues won't adjust to the pressure. Foam Rolling Tip 3: Minimize pain. Pain causes a tension response throughout the body. You're trying to get your muscles to relax. Pain can work against this relaxation. Try and make your foam rolling hurt as little as possible. Foam Rolling Tip 4: Focus on a muscle. Don't try to work on every muscle that's tight. Pick one muscle and spend all your attention on that muscle until you make progress. Then pick another muscle and do the same thing. Over time you affect whole body change. Foam Rolling Tip 5: Foam roll often. Try to get in numerous foam roller workouts throughout the day. The more often your body is exposed to a stimulus, the faster it will adapt to it. I think 3 times a day is a good minimum, but 6-10 times a day is really ideal.

Alright! Let's talk about why there's no such thing as out of shape. We think of being out of shape as not being physically fit or having packed on a few pounds. But what it actually means is being specialized at inaction. The example I share is that if you spend hours a day watching TV, your body will become very good at watching TV. The more movement you work into your daily life, the less specialized your body and the more adaptable you are physically. Your body composition is largely a reflection of diet. Your ability to perform is much more about your movement habits. So if you're out of shape, what you really need to do is adjust your lifestyle and your habits to include more movement.

Alright! Benjamyn Smith, AKA Doctor Ben, here and today I'm covering 6 exercises to help you get your first pull up. These exercises aren't fancy and the only equipment you need is some kind of bar. I cover these exercises in a progression series. Each one builds up the exercise that came before it. Work on them in order to make sure you have the foundation to do the next exercise. Also, don't do an exercise too intensely. You want to be able to work toward your pull up goal daily. Doing a little bit every day is more effective than just killing yourself a couple times a week. Start with just hanging to build up shoulder strength, then move up to swinging. Once you're comfortable there move onto hanging knee raises. This will condition your core while also stimulating you back and shoulder muscles. Then we're going to keep scaling up the hanging knee raises until you're doing a modified pull up. Keep working the modified pull up until you're strong enough to do a pull up!
