00:03 - 00:09This is Brent from the Brookbush Institute, bringing you a new variation of the quadruped,
00:09 - 00:12brought to me from a student and friend from Israel named Gali.
00:12 - 00:18We're going to call these Gali-peds. Melissa is going to come out and do them. I have to
00:18 - 00:22admit they have everybody shaking their head at just how ridiculously hard they
00:22 - 00:26are. It's kind of the mix between a quadruped crawl, I don't know if you
00:26 - 00:32have seen that video yet, but look that up, and then like a plank with
00:32 - 00:35elbows on ball and we're just going to smash those two things together into something
00:35 - 00:40harder. Alright so go ahead and demonstrate, again we're going to use the
00:40 - 00:45ball here on the back because I like to show my clients what stable really
00:45 - 00:50means right. So if we're doing a quadruped we want this to be a firm
00:50 - 00:56tabletop. So I'm going to leave the ball right there, and honestly just this,
00:56 - 01:02is remarkably difficult. To get somebody to draw in, to get them pushing back
01:02 - 01:05through their feet so they're engaging their glutes. Alright we want to make
01:05 - 01:10sure that we get nearly the balls of the feet on the ground and push that way, not
01:10 - 01:14driving the feet down into the floor; and then if we want to take this a step
01:14 - 01:17further, of course make sure their scapular is protracted, if we want to take
01:17 - 01:22this a step further we can have him just trying to lightly tap their knees to the
01:22 - 01:26ball, and bring the foot back. She's actually taking a step, putting her foot
01:26 - 01:31down and then taking a step back. That would be in between those two steps, so
01:31 - 01:36we could step forward and then step back, step forward, step back. Let's try to
01:36 - 01:44touch the, okay so that was one set, Melissa's going to take a little rest and
01:44 - 01:50then we're going to try this one more time. So Melissa did hold, and then the next
01:50 - 01:53step was to take a step forward, put your foot down, take a step back. The last
01:53 - 01:58thing we're going to try is to lift one foot up, touch the ball with the knee and
01:58 - 02:03bring the foot back without it touching the floor, without losing this softball,
02:03 - 02:08super super hard. Alright Gali-ped, so you can thank Gali
02:08 - 02:15for this one. Here we go so making sure for
02:15 - 02:20sure her scapular is protracted and stable, put the ball there, notice her glutes her
02:20 - 02:24engaged to drive her feet through the floor, and now she's going to try to touch
02:24 - 02:27the ball and bring her foot back to the starting position without touching the
02:27 - 02:33ground. Oh oh so tough, so tough. Alright she's
02:33 - 02:38got some work to do on that progression. You guys check this progression out, add
02:38 - 02:42it to your repertoire. We now have yet another quadruped progression
02:42 - 02:48which i think is great, because this is such good anti-rotation, TVA, intrinsic
02:48 - 02:53stabilization subsystem activity, which i think we could all use a little more of.
02:53 - 02:57I'll talk with you guys soon.
