5 Trunk Rotation Exercises to Maintain a Flexible, Functional Spine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From squats and planks to push-ups and carrying, these time-tested movements require little more than your own body, yet deliver powerful gains. Your spine is composed of 33 vertebrae, nine of which are lower in the back and fused into two different bones, while the other 24 are separate and movable. Most of the movable vertebrae are separated by intervertebral disks, fibrous “cushions” that protect the vertebrae during movement. The beauty of this arrangement is that the part of the spine that
Push-Up Science: 4 Exercises to Build Upper-Body Strength (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What we know as the classic push-up movement has a very long, involved history. The basic concept of pushing up from the floor with your arms from a face-down position harkens back thousands of years in the form of the Indian “dand” and Persian “zurkhaneh” movements, and very likely for thousands of years before that. The Roman army formally used push-up movements in their strength-building regimens, and the Roman emperor Constantine was historically noted for performing push-ups during his reig
Hinge Science: 5 Hinge Exercises to Restore Hip Function (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a body full of various joints, the hinge joints occupy unique real estate: your arms, legs, fingers, and toes, all of the parts of the body that directly interact with the environment. However, a hinge exercise does not exercise your hinge joints. It trains your hip—which is not a hinge joint. The word “hinge” refers to the movement pattern, where your body bends around the hips, like a door moving around its hinges. So you have hinge joints and hinge exercises, which aren’t necessarily the s
Lunge Science: 5 Lunges to Maximize Leg and Core Strength (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among classic bodyweight exercises, the lunge has perhaps the most interesting backstory. Our best understanding of the origins of the modern lunge movement comes from 17th-century sword-fighting manuals. Specific references appeared in works by Salvator Fabris and Ridolfo Capoferro in the very early 1600s, and a later, more specific reference was made by fencing master Nicolas Demeuse in the 1700s. These were all very, uh, sharp fellows. The basic biomechanical aspect of the classic lunge movem
Squat Science: 5 Squat Exercises to Strengthen Lower-Body Muscles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Classically identified by heavy flexion of the hip and knee joints coupled with a straight, upright back, the squat is a natural human biomechanical movement and has been used extensively across several cultures, both currently and historically, as a natural sitting posture. The body weight squat may have no identified unique originator from antiquity, but squatting as an exercise in America was popularized in the 1920s by the likes of Harry Steinborn and George Hackenschmidt when they began per
