shrugs
why shrug with weights? most people are already TOO TIGHT to begin with. remember, not all exercises are mandatory and should only be done for a purpose.

foot pain (part one)
don’t look at the foot. instead look at your hips. if your hips aren’t level and de-rotated it’ll effect your foot/ankle complex. for instance, if your hip rotates externally and you walk like a duck it’ll force your feet to over pronate (flatten) at rest in order to contact the ground. so, part of your strategy is to focus on the linkage of the hips, knees, and feet all at once during exercise.

core training system
i was asked about the core training system and core training via email. yes, the core training system (CTS) can be used to directly train the core. however. i use the term Core Design to describe your “perfect” total body posture. its the ideal posture for your body. your Core Design gets violated by poor postural habits and it’s what we used the CTS to help restore. see the difference?

Low Back Pain 2
I’ve received some emails asking for me to elaborate. So, here goes. Low Back Pain is not hard to find. It’s in your back. The culprit is hidden a tad better. Try to squat and notice what happens at your feet. Do they turn in/out. Does your heel lift off the ground. Next, what about your hips. Do your legs rotate in/out. Unless the foot/ankle and hips are working your back doesn’t have a chance.
