⠀
🔸WHAT IS THIS?🔸⠀
A safer and more effective modification to a popular metabolic conditioning exercise everyone loves to hate!⠀
⠀
🔸WHEN SHOULD I USE IT?🔸⠀
Preferably, as a replacement to the traditional burpee every time you have to do burpees, say in a workout class. If you suffer or have suffered from mechanical low back pain -- pain that changes with movement -- it's a good idea to make the switch for good! ⠀
⠀
🔸WHY SHOULD I CARE?🔸⠀
Forward bending (flexion) induced mechanical low back pain is the most common form of back pain walking in/out of clinic doors. ⠀
⠀
We sit a lot and don't move as much as we used to. Where we once had to exhaust a lot of energy to literally hunt and kill our food, we now can "1-click" for deliveries to our front door.⠀
⠀
Even when sitting with support, prolonged sitting induces profound forward flexion forces to our spine. And let's be frank 🌭, most people sit in sloppy, slouched positions -- it's hard to hold an upright position.⠀
⠀
So, after we've been sitting all day, let's go do some burpees where we flex our spine even more, but now in continuous repetition! See how ridiculous that sounds? Imagine bending a 📎 back-forth a bunch of times -- eventually, it's going to break #injury! And we know from @backfitpro research, this happens.⠀
⠀
Take your index finger and pull it back as far as it can go -- feel the stretch? Now hold it there -- feel some tension pain? Okay, now imagine repetitively cranking that back even further and further. This is similar to what we are doing with our backs with the traditional burpee.⠀
⠀
You see, our hips can only flex so far in the sagittal plane (forward-backward) of movement until the range of motion is exhausted. To go further, like pulling your knees into your chest in the burpee, you have to then flex your spine to make up for what your hips can't do. By making the modification of burpeeing in a wider sumo stance (sumo, 🍣; burpees, burps -- get it?), we utilize our hips in the transverse (rotation) and coronal (side-to-side) planes of movement so the low back doesn't have to take all that stress!
