Thank you so much Doc! I am doing an exercise regime which includes the plank; I will now remove this harmful exercise from my regime.
Best chanel on the planet.
From what I understand, it's the holding in the breath during that constant tension that's problematic, not the exercise itself
Who knows?! I couldn't make any sense of this narration.😅
@@elcheapo9444There are people who do 100's of pushups a day or even in a row, they're planking for that entire time and have no problems because it's impossible to hold in your breath for that long but it's also probably because the core isn't engaged at the bottom of a pushup to the same degree as the top so the core gets trained dynamically rather than through static hold
That was my interpretation as well.... the "haa" releases all the tension building up in body and head... ?
@@akashurikenPeople plank during pushups aswell but it's damn near impossible to hold in your breath while doing anything near your max number of reps and no reason to not breath easy during low reps
@@naturalstrength8393 ok, I follow you there, and agree that the body will dictate to breathe during exercise. In Krav Maga they have a pushup drill where they go max out while holding the breath.. if that adds extra value, physiologically speaking, I don't know. But what is the point the doc's trying to make then?
Oh my just received instructions to do this exercise …thank you for the warning just in time!
Thank you 😊
Thank you doctor!
I've done weighted planks for years and stopped doing them as I got heavier in bodyweight which made it difficult to progress, I now do weighted ab crunches
Thank you so much 🎩🙏🤗
I have a roller like that, but I've neglected it for a long time. Perhaps I need to get it out and start using it again.
wow wow wow, very appreciate your videos and sharings of knowledge , also the sense of humor...Poka
Thank you❤
In yoga, the plank is done in a sequence of moves where the muscles are used in opposition with cycles of tightening and relaxation. So, that would be good. It's the holding a pose that is troublesome.
Thank you very much. So interesting, because my yoga instructor always emphasized on the risk and danger of plunk. She called this asana “a crime in yoga”. No matter how it gets done.
Thank You, dear Dr. 🙏❤️
can you explain the risk and how it differs to say updog, downdog, bridge pose? isometrics can reduce blood pressure when done correctly
As much as I want to believe what they say, I never seen anyone, in 17 years of gym (and I met thousands of people) having any harm doing planks lol
Seriously, I've never heard of any of the problems spoken of in the vid, and been doing planks for years.
I developed severe shoulder pain in both shoulders upon a year of doing these. I began doing these with no physical pain in my upper body. Now, I have occasional pain. Thank you, Doctor,for your knowledge.
Same thing happened to me.
what do you mean ''these''? Plank or roller?
Ha..a thank youreceived good news for health and safety wellness fitness Dr Alekseev 🥰🙏💕🇿🇦
I beg to differ, doctor.
Qualified professionals do recommend the plank.
If properly performed, it can only do you good.
I was dying of back pain. Planks saved me. I got a stronger back now, stronger core. Got totally rid of pain.
Matter of fact.
Is that roller safe for Scoliosis and lordosis and ostopenia?
Merci beaucoup !

Please doctor , can you make a video of how to lift eyelid ? Thabk you
Well, it's a very exacting science. It takes a lot of people to determine the exact type of eyelids you have. It's a very serious matter. Everyone should do their eye lid push ups each morning. I'm up to 1.23 lbs.😊
take care your spleen meridian
look for this video from 1 month ago: Increase blood flow to the brain by 356%, this could be step 1 in all of your eye healing just doing this alone will give you what your looking for
i like your shirt Doctor 🥰
Can you make a video discussing dealing with or getting rid of Bells palsy facial paralysis plz?
Interested to see this
One thing I tried was putting 2 furniture sliders under both hands to emulate a wheel. It is another way to do this.
Are you saying that all isometric exercises that exceed 6 seconds on contraction hold time are risky? Does this include wall sits?
Also the side plank is dangerous??? 😢 I know the plank you show is super dangerous with people with high blood pressure!. I am trying to do a study about the yoga dangers! What do you know about it?
This video is not very clear. After watching it I still don´t understand why the plank should be dangerous. Maybe it´s because the language becomes a bit odd when you try to translate from russian to english....
Thank you I always hated this exercise
😅Thank God you shared this warning! I had been thinking that I needed to do planks. I am half Russian and now I will gladly get that wheel!
What about Wim Hoff breathing, where you do the breath hold at the end of round of hyperventilating? Is that inter-cranial pressure ok, or is it unhealthy?
hyperventilating depletes Co2 thus reduces oxygen absorption. the main benefit is from breath hold at the end. the fast breathing just makes it easier to hold breath longer as you get "air hungry". still not a good thing don't you think? instead do other breathing techniques such as diaphragm breathin and, 4-7-8, BOLT test. remember breathing helps the mind focus its not the objective goal
I don’t completely understand you voice over but want to recommend your videos
Thank you for the advice!! ❤❤❤🙏🏼
YES! omg YES..i've used isometrics since..well..i began doing them when i was still a small child..out of necessity. 5 maybe 6 yrs old i had severe muscle spasms..and isometrics was my natural instinctive reaction to them to get to sleep at night..and walk normally during the day..stop dropping things...no one taught me i just felt the need of tightening the muscles all over my body & holding, count 10 then releasing, repeat, until the spasms & pain went away...i got Very strong. Still am.
High school taught us planks..and i knew immediately they were bad..got in trouble with teacher for saying so..but once out of high school never did another plank again & never will. No Need. Isometrics is a Life Saver & keeps my entire body toned into old age. No need for a cane or walking stick, no worry on ladders..i can walk anywhere...no need for a gym & on no medications. i am 68 yrs old..
Thank You for the Validation! & for Showing everyone else How Well this Works! Bless You!
Such a beautiful story. All the best to you.
Thank You..and All the Best to You as well for your kindness @@republica13
What is he saying about the problem with the exercise? The issue is about holding the breath while in the plank position that puts pressure the body? Isometrics are safe?
Hi doctor I am from Pakistan. I like ur vedios so much. I am 35 years old. My muscles slo weak . Every time I have muscle cramps in neck shoulders . Some time first leg sometime left leg . Please give me some suggestions kindly.
Hi there. My brother had almost same problem. Sometimes he felt like his feet would tear of and extremely painful. He had very hard time working. My naturopath recommended magnesium chloride 250g x 3 a day. You can increase slowly until the spasms stop. Most people are very deficient in magnesium. I take a combo of 750g every night for sleep. Hope it helps. It's relatively cheap and it's needed for over 300 functions in our body.
joekie71 is spot on!!!!! in case the magnesium chloride is not for your body seek out evidence for magnesium phosphate in the form of (magnesia phosphorica). look up neuro lymphatic drainage: there are 6 major points to self massage daily, watch what happens in a week get the toxins out and your body will chemically reregulate its self. eat tons of red grapes and asparagus
I was just going to MAGNESIUM. try it for a month. See if any difference.
My apology for misspelling of plank. My bad!
你這應該是看了Dr. Joe Dispenza影片後的留言。
Pleas please give me answer.
I always got neck pain when I did planks.
Wow, this is strange.
The whole channel is strange. Also most of the comments.🙃
Can you elaborate on why the plank exercise is dangerous ?
In the video Doctor Bubnovsky said it can cause increased risk of stroke, suspected clots, thrombosis detachment, back muscle spasms , appendicitis, chronic pancreatitis to name a few.
@@hankjones8814why can it cause these things? What about it?
❤❤❤
The world record is 9 hours 38 minutes 47 seconds set in 2023.
🙏🙏🙏
So you could say the same about isometrics
That's not going to screw your lower spine, is it?😂
Some of the yoga poses are fine but there is a lot of spirituality/hindouism behind many of the others, like the sun salutation. Do it only if atheist or practising Eastern religions.
Im 68. Been doing and teaching yoga including plank for 50 years. No problem. Dont intend to stop.
Yoga is not a great as you think. Just a regime of the Indian reign. You know. No really great benefits. Just playing with symptoms.
@@anne-kathrins2721ha that's an opinion. i say its a mindbodyspirit experience
Is there any exercise to remove manboobs doc?
Take in less estrogen base foods and chest exercise for women. Hope that helps
Hi Doctor Alekseev, I started doing this exercise in 1990, when I was 57. I still do it intermittently: czcams.com/video/UcUa_02pvUU/video.htmlsi=n0E5xqaYW_Oh8Bto Do you think it's dangerous or unsafe to continue?
I think this should be ok as it works much like his recommended exercise, but with a roller
Thank you for your response.@@pp-pl2zg
You are looking cute in orange 🍊
Why does he talk so strangely and why so vague. Just seems like he stretches it out so long
……… it’s Russian translated into English
Wenn ich planks mache, habe ich am nächsten Tag blaue Flecken an den Ellbogen...ich wiege nur 48 kg und trainiere auf einer Yoga Matte...🙄🇩🇪
How about the #ButtBridge ?
Have you tried? Do you even lift?
Don't exaggerate. It's just an excercise. In that case, any excercise can be called bad and dangerous.
I just can't follow the translation...uugg
This claim is absolutely correct! Howerver one thing is not right the "Roller" is not Soviet origin. 50 years ago i already knew it in my country (Wesren Europe), From my researc I know thtthis device was wyell known in bodybuilding circles by the name "AB wheel". This is, once more, Russian propaganda; folks!
↑This is Western propaganda comrades. The roller (wheel) demonstrated in the video by physiotherapist Dr Sergei Bubnovsky is Soviet-made (no claim for origins).
When it comes to Western propaganda the Roller was not invented in 1960s nor in 1930's in the US but in the 4th millennium BC in Lower Mesopotamia (Iraq, 1st known Civilisation bombed by the never-civilised US, 6 millenia latter), where the Sumerian people inserted rotating axles into solid discs of wood.
Sorry for being obsessed with anti-propaganda. Propaganda is the tool of the West (being civilised >5 millennia later than the East, & even later than Africa.
@@DimitarBerberuThanks for clarifying me,so this tool cames from midle east antiquity! Great civilizations! So not russian or Soviet, right?
@@jaugmartins the Dr was showing his Russian audience that they can find the AB rolller locally. Not that it was invented by them. If the Americans patented 1st it doesn't mean it was original. Similar designs were evolving over long history.
💋❤️
Comedy 😂
What the heck was that 😳 a terr or. Ist? At 0:29 seconds
And at 1:23 !! What the hell is that?
😮😮😮
Really tired of doctors on You Tube trying to grift off their opinions. Show the facts off your colleagues scientific evidence and support your claims off of this scientific evidence, otherwise you are no better than the other Dr grifters on you tube.
Show your facts of evidence to support your claims it's not scientific evidence.
Please don’t bring yoga into all of this. Yoga does not impose planks whatsoever. Yoga is not trivial and is not about ‘exercise’ and workouts, the way westerners make it out to be. Yoga is a powerful tool for mind body connection and nothing to do with exercise. Any exercise benefits you get from yoga is just a (good) side effect.
❤yes , a lot of talk about yoga , unfortunately only if you practice every day you'll understand what is yoga . Yoga is love😊
Said the yoga gal with no sense of humor
Yoga its great..but not to stay on the top of your head so much as some does
@@christophernaples1315 you are a dumdum. Your misplaced sense of humor nonsense is embarrassing!
Yoga has been sold as being workout exercises to the world, that is why it is viewed that way. It is actually a way to connect with the spiritual realm. One reason I didn't get into it.
