- Howdy folks! I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.

- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.

- 'Cause we are the most famous physical therapist

on the internet.

- In our opinion, of course, Bob.

- It looks like you're a big scepter.

- Give me that.

- Okay. Today, Brad, we're gonna talk about 15 common

exercises you should never do.

Never, ever.

- Mhmm.

- Alright. And we're gonna make sure that you never do 'em,

because we're gonna explain to you why you shouldn't do it.

- Sure, helps a lot.

- Let's take care of this first though, Brad,

in case you are new to our channel

please take a second to subscribe to us.

It'll only take a minute.

Just go over and slap that button.

We provide videos, how stay healthy, fit, pain free.

And we upload every day.

Also go over to Facebook.

That'll only take another 30 seconds

(laughing)

and make sure you like us,

because Brad and I, as children, were not liked.

- Oh, Bob.

- It's sad.

And we're trying to turn things around.

So let's talk about the first exercise, Brad.

- Alright.

- It's a real common exercise.

I think the government used to have you do it, didn't it?

- Yeah, I mean it's basic. Just windmill.

- You really wanna question it then.

- Yeah, then you always wanna question it.

- So the windmills.

- What you're doing here,

what's really hard on the back

and the discs of the back, is flexion and twisting

at the same time.

- Sure.

- So what are you doing with windmills?

You're flexing - Flexing.

- And twisting, - Right

- at the same time.

If you want to hurt your back, this is what you should do.

(laughing)

Do windmills without a doubt, really bad for you.

- Particularly as you get a little older,

you're even more prone to it.

- Right. So I could feel that right there, Brad.

By the way,

I'm gonna be doing all 15 of these exercises today.

I'm gonna be in bad shape by the end of the day.

- Yes, Bob, you are.

That's why I'm gonna watch.

Alright, well he's smart, isn't he?

- I'm gonna crack the whip.

- Next one, most people know this.

I think, but maybe they don't,

is you should be doing full sit ups,

full sit ups like this, - Sure.

- 'Cause you, it puts, again, a tremendous amount

of stress on the discs of the back.

- Right. Particularly, right in the low back.

And particularly the ones where you reach for your toes.

- Right. Right.

When you go on like this type of thing

or they're going.

- Yeah.

- You know, and they've done studies on this.

They've actually stuck a needle in the disc

of the back and they've measured the amount of pressure

and this puts a tremendous amount of pressure on it.

- Sure.

- So, and probably, I dunno if it'd be worse

but certainly not better is,

if you did supported sit-ups.

- Yeah.

So there's those devices, those benches

you could slide your heels, I mean your feet underneath.

- Right.

- Or you have somebody else hold and you're doing these.

- Right. - And then you see some people take a weight.

- Right. -And even make it worse.

- Yeah. Grab that kettle ball.

- No, I'm not gonna do that!

I'll blow a disc right on.

- Or you're doing on an incline .

- On an incline, right.

- Right. Which you'd, yeah.

It certain, it certainly works the stomach muscles well,

but it hurts so bad. - It's also working the leg muscles,

by the way, when someone supports it.

You're actually working your hip flexors.

- Yeah, hip flexor and that rectus femoris you got.

- So staying right into this theme also v-sits like this.

- Oh.

- Really hard on the back.

And if you wanna make them even worse,

do v-sits with a twist. - Right, right.

- It's the same principle again, you're bending the back

and you're twisting it at the same time.

- Right, with a lot of pressure in the middle there.

- Yeah. Just really bad for the back.

I mean, again, I'm glad I'm done with those.

I'm actually gonna do some extensions, Brad,

right now just to.

- Yeah.

- This is the counter.

- Don't worry, if you wanna get your core

and your stomach strengthen there are much better options.

- There's a million ways to deal with that.

- Right. And we have videos on those,

but we're, we gotta stick to the,

to what we're, the goal here.

- Right. Next one is ,Brad, is tri tricep dips off a bench.

- Sure.

- So you're going off the end of a bench like this.

I'll do it off that side too.

- Yep.

- And you're doing dips like this.

Really a tremendous amount of stress on the shoulder.

It's at kind of end range.

There's better ways to strengthen the triceps.

We had a whole video on that.

- Right. - Remember that Brad? So.

- Yeah, so when the shoulder's coming to

end range extension here,

which anytime you put a joint at end range,

it's more susceptible to injury, no matter what.

- Yeah. And you can get some impingement

with that even just the way you're putting your shoulder

into place like that.

- Next one.

I'm jumping off into a different area here.

This is a simple way.

Anybody who runs a lot, I wanna make sure you're running.

You don't run on the same side of

the street all the time.

- Right.

- So there's always a little bit

of a camber to the road, a little bit of a tilt.

- So the water runs off the road

and doesn't stay in the middle. It, that's functional thing.

- So if I run down the right side of the road and come

down on the other side, I'm always on the same tilt.

- Right.

- And you're putting the same stresses

on your ankle, and your knees, and your feet.

And if you're, if you're susceptible

to like plantar fasciitis, you're I mean,

I'm sensitive enough that I can actually tell when

I'm on one side of the road too much.

- Sure, right.

- So I know legally or safety wise,

it's best to always go against traffic,

but I actually go out against traffic

and then in with traffic is what I do.

- Right. Yeah, use good judgment, you know,

use a different route or something, but.

- I try to pick roads that have really wide should,

you know, wide shoulders and so

that we don't have to worry about it.

- I had a patient when she had tendonitis

on her perineals.

- Yeah.

- And she was at a walking program,

walking the same side of the road

and I said, well, switch sides.

And with a couple days immediate, you know, it started

- It went away.

- Right. - And that's
