This is what I have in my library off the top of my head:

Magee - Orthopedic Assessment - Good for special tests, differential diagnosis, and general background knowledge. This is the first textbook many PT schools ask their students to purchase.



Joint Structure and Function - A good biomechanics textbook if you're interested. I remember it being assigned in both my undergrad kinesiology class as well as Biomechanics and Adv. Biomechanics in PT school.


Observational Gait Analysis - Good gait analysis text but super detailed. It is out of Ranchos Los Amigos, one of the foremost gait mechanic analysis institutions in the US.



Mulligan - Manual Therapy - A great resource, but Mulligan was kind of a strange fellow so keep that in mind.


Manual Therapy - Advanced - Great read, but honestly kind of pricey and probably not worth the cost for an OT. PT though? Definitely recommend.



American College of Sports Medicine - Super convenient to have. Great for medical exercise dosage and cardiopulmonary considerations.


Therapeutic Exercise Foundations - Good read, with some manual therapy thrown in.

If you're super intense, though, you'll want Sahrmann's Book.


To be honest, as a student of any discipline, I'd recommend just making a free account on hep2go.com and looking through their exercises to brush up. The above reads are great if you are interested, though, and I'd recommend for any PT library.



Hope this helps!

u/gorilla_ · 6 pointsr/yoga

Starting a home practice is a little awkward at first, and you probably won't know exactly what to do, but I guarantee you will grow into it. Just keep it consistent and learn to listen to your body. The cool thing about a home practice is that it is tailored to YOU! I love going to class and get a lot out of having an instructor guide me in alignment and offer new and exciting sequences, but my home practice has become sacred.

A few tips to start:

  • Pay attention to the tips your instructors give about form and alignment. While you're holding poses, try to bring these tips to mind in order to refine them.
  • Sun salutations are always a good warmup.
  • If you can remember any sequences from class, even if you can only remember part of it, do it! It will help you fill up the time at first and maybe give you a bit of direction about what to do next.
  • If you can't think of what to do, holding poses and really trying to refine them as you hold them is always a good option.
  • Develop a pose or maybe a few poses that you want to focus on (maybe crow or bridge/wheel, for example) and do poses that will open up the parts of your body that you need open for those poses. As an example, when I want to do bird of paradise, I make sure I do a lot of standing splits and other poses to open up my super tight hamstrings.
  • Don't get discouraged if it doesn't flow smoothly at first. It will eventually. You'll find sequences that you love and sequences that don't do much for you. And it's all ok.

    I hope some of this helps. Also, I just started reading this book, Yoga Sequencing by Mark Stephens for my teacher training, and it is a huge help. It explains the principles of sequencing but also provides a lot of sequences for all levels. More than worth the cost.

    Starting a home practice can be scary, but I'm so grateful for my self practice. It's made me more aware of and grateful for my body. It's your time to explore. I think you'll find that mixing in a studio practice and a home practice will help you to balance and refine your own practice. The two will inspire and inform each other.

    Edit: I apologize about the awful formatting. I tried really hard to get the bullet points to actually be bullet points, but I can't figure it out.
u/2pedestrian4reddit · 3 pointsr/ankylosingspondylitis

I know this is a bit late to the party but my friend just got diagnosed as well and we went on a day long researching binge. I tried to consolidate everything we found to reference later, so for you and any one else interested here is a wall of text. I hope it helps.

The http://www.spondylitis.org website has some good background information with a useful guide on where to start. But I was surprised how there was no emphasis on the importance of diet. I found another website called kickas.org which focuses on diet and the findings of an English doctor named Alan Ebringer. Here's a quick summary of his findings which I haven't found refuted anywhere:

"Ankylosing spondylitis is considered to be a form of "reactive arthritis" following an infection of the terminal ileum and ascending colon by the bowel microbe Klebsiella. Specific anti- Klebsiella antibodies in AS patients have now been reported from 17 different countries: England, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, Belgium, Slovakia, Japan, China, Australia, Canada, USA, Mexico, Argentina, and Turkey.
Over 95% of AS patients possess the HLA-B27 antigen whilst it is present only in 8% of the general population. The Klebsiella microbe has molecules which resemble HLA-B27 and this is the reason why AS patients generally belong to the HLA-B27 group.
In addition, the pullulanase molecule of the Klebsiella microbe crossreacts with type I collagen found in tendons and bone and also with type IV collagen found in basement membranes of retina and uvea, thereby explaining the pathological sites of AS."

We all have trillions of bacteria from thousands of different strains in our gut and I bet most everyone has that Klebsiella bacteria. It's only a problem in people who also have the HLA-B27 antigen who then experience an overgrowth of that particular bacteria. Since that bacteria feeds on starches, you can alter your diet to essentially "starve" it out. This is the London AS diet

As you can see, you may have to cut out additional things like dairy, eggs and even some veggies like onions if you don't get relief by sticking to the middle column. As you starve out the Klebsiella bacteria you'll want to actively replace it with beneficial bacteria (probiotics) like the ones found in yogurt(get the plain, unsweetened greek yogurt), Kefir, kombucha or probiotic pills like these.

Additionally, as you cut sugar and other carbs you'll also be starving out the candida yeast that lives in all our bodies. In some people, too high of a candida population can cause a host of issues ranging from hives to arthritis. You may not have any issues with candida, but if you did, they'll start dying out as well (bonus!). Having so many yeast and bacteria dying off can cause problems on their own unfortunately, they release toxins when they die and their little dead cells have to be cleared out by the body. The body can react to this sudden die off and it's called a Herxheimer reaction (or just "herxing"). Herxing can feel like a whole body inflammation/hives/the flu. You're body can normally process the dying organisms along with the toxins fast enough, but drink plenty of water to help yourself out, your kidneys and liver will be working hard and they'll need the water(some tea can't hurt either).

Another interesting thing I came across is leaky gut syndrome. The basic idea is that the lining of the intestines can become too thin, thin enough to allow large, not-yet-fully-digested proteins and other molecules to permeate the gut and enter your bloodstream. Then, your immune system attacks these unknown molecules and the result is a host of inflammatory responses like arthritis and IBS. Incidentally, frequent use of antibiotics can cause work to thin the lining of the intestines, as well NSAIDs.

This stuff is so increadibly complex and interrelated! but also fascinating. The health of your gut and the kinds of bacteria living there can even influence your mood and determine your obesity risk as well.

Fasting also fits into this puzzle. Humans have fasted for religious and health reasons for all of recorded history. Juice fasts and such even had a pop culture resurgence. One of the benefits of fasting is that you starve out the yeast and bacteria since only your own cells have access to any energy (your own fat stores). This allows you to essentially reset your body and repopulate your gut with healthier bacteria. This article references a few scientific studies that seen to back up that idea. A less appealing way to repopulate your gut bacteria would be... However, IBS and colitis are often comorbid with AS so it might be worth considering. It was for some on the kickas.org forums.

Inflammation seems to be at the intersection of all this. In many ways, inflammation is at the root of all illness. In a sense, you aren’t just your human self, but an ever changing proportion of human cells, bacteria, yeasts, and viruses as well. For long term health you have to keep your non-pathogenic guests in balance lest they bloom and become pathogenic AND maintain an immune system strong enough to evict the active pathogens but not attack your own cells. At the risk of redundancy, I think it’s useful to include this book that covers the importance of that balance and the risk of antibiotics.
A final resource I found was on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which isn't must different than the London AS diet but the website was very helpful and had a lot of information that was free even though they're trying to sell a book.
AS can seem daunting, maybe I should have led with a positive testimonial from someone who managed to control his AS
Dotyisle’s AS story

Oh, one final thing, exercise as much as you can! I have a book called "The Exercise Cure" and for Arthritis (closest thing in the book to AS) he says those with severe pain should at least do stretching, yoga/swimming/strength exercises like air squats and lunges.

TL;DR: A low/no starch diet will lower the number of harmful bacteria, reduce your inflammation response, and increase the effectiveness of traditional medicines at smaller (easier on the body/less side effects) doses.

u/jlalbrecht · 5 pointsr/WayOfTheBern

I'm in Austria, right next door to /u/rommelo in Germany (no kangaroos). We have similar systems. So everything s|he said applies as a worker here. I also lived and worked in the Netherlands for some years. The similar system exists there.

First I'll respond to you specific questions from your dad:

  • Name one country whose economy is better than the US with socialized healthcare
    First, define "better" If your dad mentions GDP, ask him if his personal well being is tied to the US stock market (if you want to win the argument and he happens to be a major stockholder, maybe don't ask this question). For 99% of the US, the answer is "no." Then look at the countries with the highest happiness and quality of life values. They are all countries with socialized healthcare. I live in Vienna, that has won Mercers worldwide award for the highest quality of life for the last 9 years straight.

  • US has more competition thus better healthcare, other countries come to us when they need something important done
    The US does not have either more ("better") competition, nor better healthcare. Empirical studies list the US as 11th of 11 in healthcare results for industrialized nations.

    Regarding the second portion of the statement: This is only true for the ultra-wealthy and only for some specific organs like heart issues at the Mayo Clinic. For example, alpine skiing was invented in Austria, and thus knee injuries due to alpine skiing are really, really common here. You want the best knee surgeon, see Dr. Schabus in Vienna (he literally wrote a book titled, "The Knee").

  • Something about long lines
    This is just incorrect. I walk next door to my GP. I wait between 5-15 minutes to see her.

  • Something about how Trump is creating (or trying to create) competition between insurance companies which somehow fixes things?
    This is bullshit and won't help healthcare, it will actually make it worse. Trump suggests allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines to "increase competition." In reality, it will mean all insurance companies will relocate to business tax haven states like Joe Biden's Delaware. They'll make higher profits and be protected by those state laws against their customers' rightful claims.

    Back to the beginning. I also run a business here in Austria for nearly 25 years. Socialized healthcare is expensive for a startup. We are a small, niche consulting company, so employee costs are our biggest financial liability. But! In nearly 25 years I have never had to spend time negotiating with an insurance company about plans. I don't have to deal with unexpected price jumps, service changes, plan changes, etc. I don't have to discuss this with potential employees beforehand. Our health insurance is a non-issue during hiring. Health insurance is for our business a complete non-issue except for costs, which are known and easy to estimate - I fire up a website and plug in potential salaries and a few (like 4) details about where we're located and I know in 10 seconds how much healthcare will cost for a new hire, or if I'm considering giving someone a raise. This is super nice as an employer. I was a partner in a US company for a couple years, and I know health insurance is something that has to be looked after very often to not get a nasty surprise (and this was 15 years ago).

    Hope this helps!
u/PrincessSparkleslut · 13 pointsr/yoga

it really depends on what kind of thing you're looking for (practice, philosophy, anatomy, fiction, etc), but here's a pile of ideas anyway.

The first book I ever got, read, and liked: Yoga Body, Buddha Mind. Some philosophy and a lot of practice. Has little stickman sequences in the back.

My Body Is A Temple: Yoga As a Path to Wholeness. Mostly philosophy, and I really like the author.

The Mirror of Yoga: Awakening the Intelligence of Body and Mind. Haven't read it, but I hear it's accessible and humorous.

How Yoga Works. Pretty much covers the yoga sutras, but in fictional story form.

Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness. Constantly declared one of the best hatha yoga books ever. I've read and enjoyed it, but it's been a while.

Yoga Beyond Belief: Insights to Awaken and Deepen Your Practice. Really good book. Hard to explain quickly... theres a long description on the amazon page.

Jivamukti Yoga: Practices for Liberating Body and Soul. Lots of philosophy, also some sequences and poses with plenty of pictures.

There are lots of books that are considered must-reads but I think many of them can get boggy for beginners. I might suggest Light on Yoga, Light on Life, and Light on Pranayama by B.K.S. Iyengar... but they can be a little dense/overwhelming at first. However - they're dense - so they're FULL of good information.

u/IamNateDavis · 1 pointr/AdvancedRunning

Well, but are you talking about an outlier like you who has also (I'm pretty sure) had years of quality workouts as well? Because as my patron saint of biomechanics, Jay Dicharry puts it, "Lots of practice at running sub-optimally will just make you more efficient at running wrong."

Now I grant you, a person can get pretty far without working on their form, for example — I got to a 3-flat marathon basically without using my glutes — but it was addressing my biomechanical issues, not raising my overall mileage, that got me to 2:47.

(Just kind of debating as a thought experiment...obviously the ideal would be to do all of the above. And I'm pretty sure that if I want to progress from 2:47, I'd probably have to peak at more than 57 MPW.)

u/complimentaryasshole · 1 pointr/trollfitness

I've found a lot of inspiration from Move Your DNA by Katy Bowman which focuses on adding more movement to your life in general. She has inspired me to move more all day vs. hitting the gym for an hour then sitting the rest of the day. You can make a change right now by sitting on the floor instead of the couch! I do use a floor pillow though, my tailbone is unforgiving. I've gone from barely being able to haul my fat butt off the floor to being able to get up without the use of my hands at all!

You might also try yoga (search Yogatic on YouTube, I highly recommend Esther Eckhart as she is very detailed in her instruction) for a gentle start considering your skeletal issues. I can say from practicing regularly I've gained so much strength and control over muscles I didn't even know existed.

Don't kill yourself by throwing yourself into a high impact routine, love your body for where it is and know that with consistency you can make changes that will make you feel better. :)

u/Furthur · 2 pointsr/AdvancedFitness

the 60second mark is usually what we base out sub-max estimates on. It signifies your bodies ability to recovery from aerobic exercise which means your muscles are more efficient at finding homeostasis again after being asked to perform work. Your score is great! There are lots of tests like this that estimate VO2max and are a great way of tracking your overall fitness over time.

If you are interested in a book that keeps benchmarks for fitness, strength and endurance wise.. check out this you should be able to get one fairly cheap and it has all the info for standards and fitness assessment you'll need. Plus.. for 1$USD and change it's an invaluable resource for standards and norms.

u/pengrac2 · 5 pointsr/climbing

I'm a rehab based Chiropractor and treating climbers is a large part of my practice. A few years ago I was looking for something similar as I know there are seminars/certifications for golf, running, lifting etc - but couldn't find anything solid for climbers. My best advice is pick up some climbing injury books and start there. I listed the books I own below in order of my preference. I second u/wristrule's recommendation of make it or break it and checking out Training Beta. They have PTs/Chiros/Trainers/Coaches talk about injuries and prevention. Follow those people and their professional work as they all have blogs, books, videos etc.

As far as research goes, there is actually a decent body of evidence but sample sizes of the studies tend to be small. The best collection of climbing research in one place is probably The Beta Angel Project https://beta-angel.com/research/research-inventory It is sorted into categories which is a nice touch. Also you can pubmed search 'rock climbing' and there are a bunch of studies there.

Here are the books I own and recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/Make-Break-Climbing-Injuries-Dictate/dp/0956428134

https://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Injuries-Solved-Lisa-Erikson/dp/0692296646/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535818900&sr=1-5&keywords=rock+climbing+injuries

https://www.amazon.com/Climb-Injury-Free-Dr-Jared-Vagy/dp/0692831894/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535818900&sr=1-2&keywords=rock+climbing+injuries

​

Theres a few more books out but I haven't checked them out just yet.

Hope this helps you help other climbers!

    Edit: tips on a separate post :)
u/FindThisHumerus · 3 pointsr/askscience

I'm a biologist and took a lot of classes in human related biology. Unfortunately I don't have any specific papers to cite you, but I can cite you a book: "Endocrinology" by Mac E. Hadley and John Levine. Published by Prentice Hall, ISBN is 0-13-187606-6.

Testosterone is produced by your adrenals (about 5-10%) and then primarily your testes (The rest). It is made from cholesterol, and is responsible for the secondary male sex characteristics. These are things like increased muscle mass, male hair patterns, libido (men AND women), deepening of the voice during puberty, the male body shape (narrow hips/pelvis).

Testosterone production is stimulated by your anterior pituitary, which releases a hormone called leutinizing hormone. Sperm production, on the other hand, is stimulated by a hormone from the same gland called follicle stimulating hormone. BOTH of these hormones are released from the anterior pituitary when the hypothalamus releases a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone, or GnRH.

If you are interested in what happens when you use testosterone or testosterone derivatives to build muscle, then I refer you to this book: http://www.amazon.com/Bodybuilding-Drugs-Risk-Health-Society/dp/041522683X

u/skulldriller · 3 pointsr/physicianassistant

The hand book of NSG is a must

Neurocritical Care is a must if you have a MICU/SICU

Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases is a good textbook which focuses on all the major points and many fine details you will need to know as you go through your career. I use this book when I make lectures.

You'll also want to read some review articles on ICP management, vasospasm dx and tx following SAH, hypertonic saline, neuro imaging.

There are some youtube videos that will help get you started with imaging:

For Head CT

For C-spine CT

For MRI in general

For Lumbar MRI

I recommend referring back to these resources as you see patients with the afflictions as it will help it stick. If you just read about things without using them in practice I think you'll find it is easily forgotten. Best of luck!

u/nikiverse · 2 pointsr/yoga

I use books, really.

BKS Iyengar has a section of sequencing in Light on Yoga (basically the Sanskrit listed out, in order)

And then there's this book (fairly thick too) with just images of the yoga poses.

And I like the Home Practice section on Yoga Journal!

edit: but my general skeleton of a class is something like this

  • 5-10 minutes of breathing/centering
  • 5-10 of gentle stretching
  • then some slow flow (like sun salutation c) or easy standing balance
  • then like the sun salutation a's with standing poses, planks, balances mixed in b/n
  • then deeper flexibility poses that we hold or standing postures that we hold (hopefully I've warmed them up properly so they can do this safely)
  • then back/belly work or floor work (like reverse plank, locust, bridge pose, shoulderstand type things)
  • deeper seated stretching, if time or reclining twists/stretches
  • savasana!

Grab a cheap set of light resistance bands at Target or the like, the kind they market to women so they don't get too bulky. Wrap it around something stationary and pull away.

My training partner is coming of a bicep tear and just started benching again (since he can't overhead press), and we noticed his elbows shake in and out a lot. Come to find out his rotators are so weak that he can't even do a proper face pull (hands out, elbow at 90 degrees, no using the bicep). This is actually one of the tests we use for rotator cuff strength.

He's been doing face pulls with the EFS micro bands for 12 days now and he's already noticeably more stable, but it was surprising to see someone with a 500lb bench struggle to do face pulls with 2 micro bands.

I'm also going to go ahead and recommend holding the end position for a 2 count at every rep, to strengthen the muscles in the contracted position, which is how they are meant to be used for correct posture. I stole this from Shirley Sahrmann's text with face pulls, rows, and rear delt flys to help with someone that had shoulders that rotate forward, and they commented after 2 weeks that it helped enough for them to notice.

EDIT: linked to Sahrmann's book for anyone that's interested in specific rehab, but you should probably have a very good understanding of biomechanics before you try to jump in.

Don't be intimidated. There are people of all different fitness levels and experience at any given time. Just put together a day-to-day workout plan so you know exactly what exercises you will be doing, and how many reps and sets of each workout, for any given day. Make sure to research proper form, too. If putting together a workout plan is a bit confusing for you, you can consult a fitness coach at the gym (most gyms have experts on staff that will give you guidance and teach you form for free).

I've recommended this book to others. I used it when I began to take weight lifting more seriously and it was fantastic. It's a quick read and easy to understand since it is targeted for beginners. It will guide you through the process or creating a workout plan for yourself.

Good luck!

If you think your problems might be hypermobility-related, perhaps you could explore (if you haven't already):

http://hypermobility.org
(I believe HMS is considered by some experts to be equivalent to one form of EDS)
Their forum has some useful entries on books, papers, and treatments if you browse around.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1848190689?pc_redir=1409252128&robot_redir=1

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0750653906?pc_redir=1410746322&robot_redir=1
(For practitioners or keen patients)

I can't guarantee these resources will be applicable to you, but if hypermobility is involved then these are often-cited resources.

I understand that physio exercises working on core and individual joint stability are regarded as very important, in addition to gentle exercise at whatever level you can manage, but ideally led by a physio who is familiar with hypermobility. (It's very easy to cheat on the exercises if you are bendy, which then gives the mistaken impression that they don't help.). Rosemary Keer has some interesting overview papers in this area, which can be found with google.

[I am posting the links above as I have found them useful, not because I have associations with the authors or organisations.]

I don't know about the MBLEx, but Orthopedic Physical Assessment by McGee, and Clinical Massage Therapy by Fiona Rattray are fantastic. Grey's anatomy is always excellent for another anatomy reference if you need it, and the Netter Atlas and flashcards is what saves my butt time and time again.

Even if you don't need those books for your exams, they fantastic references to have in practice.

Here's the inevitable recommendation for Gödel, Escher, Bach (Amazon page, so you can see the reviews).

Synopsis:

>Twenty years after it topped the bestseller charts, Douglas R. Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is still something of a marvel. Besides being a profound and entertaining meditation on human thought and creativity, this book looks at the surprising points of contact between the music of Bach, the artwork of Escher, and the mathematics of Gödel. It also looks at the prospects for computers and artificial intelligence (AI) for mimicking human thought. For the general reader and the computer techie alike, this book still sets a standard for thinking about the future of computers and their relation to the way we think.

>Hofstadter's great achievement in Gödel, Escher, Bach was making abstruse mathematical topics (like undecidability, recursion, and 'strange loops') accessible and remarkably entertaining. Borrowing a page from Lewis Carroll (who might well have been a fan of this book), each chapter presents dialogue between the Tortoise and Achilles, as well as other characters who dramatize concepts discussed later in more detail. Allusions to Bach's music (centering on his Musical Offering) and Escher's continually paradoxical artwork are plentiful here.

It may be strange, but during the biology and nature-of-thought-related sections of GEB I decided to read the neurology chapters of Gray's Anatomy (no, not Grey's Anatomy). It's pretty heady and slows you down quite a bit, but it results in a really interesting mix of deep biological knowledge about the structure of neurons and functioning of the nervous system with GEB's higher-level, cognition-focused discussion.

Note that that's the 40th, British edition of Gray's Anatomy. There are cheaper ones if you don't need the most up-to-date version, including leather-bound reprints of the classic 1901 American reprint. I doubt the old versions have much accurate information about neurology, however.

Zzzquil might be fine with your system, but have you taken it before a long run or key workout in the morning? Was your performance changed at all? Were you as strong mentally?

I'm only bringing it up since I know that I feel relaxed and happy after taking Nyquil, but my body is just not ready for a big effort. I know this is only anecdotal, and there are different active ingredients, but I'm just bringing it up in case you hadn't considered this angle.

It's important that you convince him to make changes by expressing your desires, and through reason.

If he is unwilling to grow, then you have to grow first; be willing to learn more than you previously wanted, provide opportunities.

This isn't about you, it's about empowering your husband.

I am a direct support professional, and I work with the developmentally disabled; I've learned that getting people to do what you want requires them to really feel free to choose.

Sometimes what you want is going to have to change, because what you pictured wasn't sophisticated enough.

Anything worth doing is going to be difficult.

I recommend these two books Here and Here. The Dutton's book is good for some basic conditions and has some clinical pearls for each condition along with examination and general interventions for each condition. The Netter's book is very good with the examinations providing pictures and also providing the sensitivity/specificity/likelihood ratios of each test performed. Its a great book for reference if you don't know the numbers right off the top of your head

Thank you for injecting educated scientific response/ logic.
I also brought this up in addition to other exercises mentioned above , (hanging leg raises! HYPER extensions! I hope most reading this are aware of the risk in following this type of advice) It is sad that a lot of the healthy active population seems to be emotional attached to high risk non productive movements and they base their training approach on information from sources such as this OP's
.. Its good to have educated folks chime in here, TA/MTFD/QL are key in training for Core stability & strength.

One of my favorite references: http://www.amazon.com/Therapeutic-Exercise-Lumbopelvic-Stabilization-Prevention/dp/0443072930

Also the OP failed to mention education instruction on proper respiration / breathing while performing abdominal exercises is key in optimal training to fine tune functional perfromance of our core.

I've been power lifting for a bit over a year and have gotten good results from it. Recently, though, I've come to the realization that I'm getting older and have become very concerned about injuring myself on a lift by tweaking a muscle in my back or something. My football days are long gone and my job isn't very physical, so I traded my powerlifting program for more of an aesthetic one.

I'd recommend you look at the Body Sculpting Bible for Men or the Body Sculpting Bible for Women. There is diet info and workout regimens from beginner to advanced. If you're an experienced lifter you probably won't get a whole lot out of this book, but for a newbie it's a great place to start.

If you don't want to deal with trainers and you have your smartphone on you, you could get on YouTube and watch videos of people performing the lifts and giving advice on form.

u/cmallard2011 · 5 pointsr/AdvancedRunning

How are you with Anatomy? If not so great, first get this and learn as much in there as you can. Especially the neuro-musculo-skeletal stuff.

Now that you kind of know a little about anatomy, you'll need to learn how all those parts work. I recommend this kinesiology textbook.

Now that you know all the pieces and how they're supposed to work together, you'll need a text that talks about musculoskeletal dysfunctions and how to go about managing some of those conditions with exercise and other forms of treatment. I recommend this text for that.

Good luck!

Yoga is a monistic practice in Hinduism. The practice revolves not around god(s) but instead is practiced through exploring inward. This is done through mediation. In fact, the yogis were the ones who developed the iconic lotus position we all have come to associate with meditation. The yoga sutras outline steps to enlightenment, The yogic ultimate reality is "oneness." That is, realizing the inner-most self (atman) is indistinct from the universal spirit (brahman), aka the Absolute.

The wikipedia article doesn't quite do this text justice. The sutras are a dense text, one Wikipedia or any other article I could find on the internet doesn't really expand upon well. If you are interested in learning more about them, I recommend this book.

Combining sequencing is fine as long as you do everything in an order that "makes sense." There's certain things to stay away from, like never go from an extreme back bend directly into a deep forward fold and vice versa. And then there are some things that are recommended, like you should open your hips before your do deep back bends. If you really get into it, I would recommend this book on yoga sequencing

u/54321modnar · 6 pointsr/askscience

220-Age is a gross estimation of Heart Rate max (HRmax). It is used in a sense that BMI is used to quickly evaluates body composition. I think there is a disconnection between HRmax and Exercise Intentisty that needs to be made. HRmax % is only a part of the equation of VO2 (volume of oxygen consumption in the human body). HRmax is used in exercise prescription because, without laboratory equipment you can't measure the other parts of VO2. Is HRmax the true absolute beats per minute a heart can achieve? Most likely no, but prolonged activity at the rate will lead to MVO2 (heart oxygen consumption) not being able to keep up with demand (ischemia).

The second part and edit of your question has to deal with what your targeting to exercise. Exercise intensity can come from volume, time, mode, and strain of activity (aka intensity). I would argue if you can go for 30mins at 90% of HRmax that is not your true maximum. Your ie. training question deals with which energy system you want to target.

A more accurate measure in calculating your HRmax/VO2max would be a Bruce Protocol along with a measure of HR and blood pressure at each stage.

For 10 of the 12 weeks I followed The Body Sculpting Bible for Men and focused on only the Mass workouts. I really love this book and if I would have actually been able to eat more I know I would have had better results. To be on the safe side, I didn't do any of the cardio/abs days in the book just so I didnt burn any calories. Looking back I should have done more abs. :P The plus side to this was that I didn't gain any fat and I did retain my shape of being lean. Next time I will aim to eat even more healthy calories each day because I would get lazy on the weekends and only have a coffee for breakfast and then a dinner...(which was stupid of me). A quick nutshell of my nutrition was that everyday I went to the gym I would have a shake first thing in the morning, right after my workout, and right before bed.

tl;dr buy the book and eat a crap ton and drink them shakes.

The only truely running specific routines that are actual weight lifting (multiple studies show it helps) of which I'm aware are:

  1. In Jay Dicharry's Running Rewired -- check your library for the book and plan to invest time reading, it's not terribly straightforward as he covers a lot of self assessments and corrective exercises first then doesn't lay out the plan well.
  2. Strengthrunning.com's High Performance LIfting requires $$

    Personally I just do starting strength during base phase, get my squat and deadlift over 200lbs and call it good. Once I start running really hard workouts I drop the lifting and switch to 10 second hill sprints as someone else mentioned (recommended by Brad Hudson in his book Run Faster).
u/grewapair · 2 pointsr/TheRedPill

All I did to start was to pick one area of my body and then pick one of the many exercises for that area. Then I'd go in and just do that one exercise and leave. I'd come home and review the proper form, etc. from the materials I read.

The next time, I picked a second area and an exercise for that area. Study how to do it at home and then go in and do the first one from the last time and the new one.

Every time, I added another one until I built up an hour long routine that worked everything. I've been doing it 2-3 times a week for decades.

I used a book that described all of the exercises, how to do them right, and what not to do wrong, called the Body Sculpting Bible for Men.. Note, the book is not the greatest resource for other areas: it's just very clear on form and that was my purpose in getting it.

I never looked like a fool. I always looked like an expert because I sort of was.

Then learn about nutrition and stretching. That has carried me through my 50s. I've yet to lose any strength I had in my 30s.

Maybe I'm not totally understanding your question-- there are books about therapeutic exercise (here's a bible for you), but there isn't always a perfect correlation between disorder --> exercise/stretch. So there may not be one perfect resource if I'm understanding correctly.

My suggestion would be finding DVDs or books at the library. If you have the time, do reading on yoga sequencing or the Ashtanga Primary Series, the latter of which is very physically demanding (yet meditative) and should keep you occupied for several years. There also exists books on yoga and depression.

Good luck on your journey. I'm using yoga to treat anxiety problems and it's working wonders.
