This is Brent from the Brookbush Institute, bringing you a
00:00:0300:00:09
new variation of the quadruped,
00:00:0900:00:12
brought to me from a student and friend from Israel named Gali.
00:00:1200:00:18
We're going to call these Gali-peds. Melissa is going to come out and do them. I have to
00:00:1800:00:22
admit they have everybody shaking their head at just how ridiculously hard they
00:00:2200:00:26
are. It's kind of the mix between a quadruped crawl, I don't know if you
00:00:2600:00:32
have seen that video yet, but look that up, and then like a plank with
00:00:3200:00:35
elbows on ball and we're just going to smash those two things together into something
00:00:3500:00:40
harder. Alright so go ahead and demonstrate, again we're going to use the
00:00:4000:00:45
ball here on the back because I like to show my clients what stable really
00:00:4500:00:50
means right. So if we're doing a quadruped we want this to be a firm
00:00:5000:00:56
tabletop. So I'm going to leave the ball right there, and honestly just this,
00:00:5600:01:02
is remarkably difficult. To get somebody to draw in, to get them pushing back
00:01:0200:01:05
through their feet so they're engaging their glutes. Alright we want to make
00:01:0500:01:10
sure that we get nearly the balls of the feet on the ground and push that way, not
00:01:1000:01:14
driving the feet down into the floor; and then if we want to take this a step
00:01:1400:01:17
further, of course make sure their scapular is protracted, if we want to take
00:01:1700:01:22
this a step further we can have him just trying to lightly tap their knees to the
00:01:2200:01:26
ball, and bring the foot back. She's actually taking a step, putting her foot
00:01:2600:01:31
down and then taking a step back. That would be in between those two steps, so
00:01:3100:01:36
we could step forward and then step back, step forward, step back. Let's try to
00:01:3600:01:44
touch the, okay so that was one set, Melissa's going to take a little rest and
00:01:4400:01:50
then we're going to try this one more time. So Melissa did hold, and then the next
00:01:5000:01:53
step was to take a step forward, put your foot down, take a step back. The last
00:01:5300:01:58
thing we're going to try is to lift one foot up, touch the ball with the knee and
00:01:5800:02:03
bring the foot back without it touching the floor, without losing this softball,
00:02:0300:02:08
super super hard. Alright Gali-ped, so you can thank Gali
00:02:0800:02:15
for this one. Here we go so making sure for
00:02:1500:02:20
sure her scapular is protracted and stable, put the ball there, notice her glutes her
00:02:2000:02:24
engaged to drive her feet through the floor, and now she's going to try to touch
00:02:2400:02:27
the ball and bring her foot back to the starting position without touching the
00:02:2700:02:33
ground. Oh oh so tough, so tough. Alright she's
00:02:3300:02:38
got some work to do on that progression. You guys check this progression out, add
00:02:3800:02:42
it to your repertoire. We now have yet another quadruped progression
00:02:4200:02:48
which i think is great, because this is such good anti-rotation, TVA, intrinsic
00:02:4800:02:53
stabilization subsystem activity, which i think we could all use a little more of.
