The cue "Neutral Spine" is thrown around quite a bit... but it used to confuse the bananas out of me!
I’m a very visual learner, so seeing the difference between a spine moving vs to staying "neutral" as throughout a position was the most helpful thing for me!
And hopefully now for you too!
In this video we go through:
• How to find YOUR Neutral
• How to use your Active Neutral
• Learning to Brace
• How to apply this to weight training
You want to know exactly how it looks & feels for YOU. It takes concentration at first, then it becomes second nature with practice!
Lifting things becomes a lot easier when your torso is solid, and much more fun because you'll avoid little niggles here and there!!
If you're new to lifting or unsure about your technique this is great to watch 💪🏼💪🏼

Love to see Jenni showing her strength and precision. Such a shining example to us all. Thanks for this.
The lines superimposed on Jenni’s spine are very helpful visuals. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Fantastic video!! It's not a cult!! ❤
Super. Great visuals. Thank you both!!
Our pleasure!
This was really helpful for me thinking about side planks. Haven't done any for like a month and a half because of a knee issue (had to make sure I wasn't injuring myself by using it normally), but it really felt like mostly a shoulder exercise to me when regressed to hips on the ground, and still very shoulder-intense when I went up to the knee version to try and feel my lats. Thinking about the shoulder pushing down and elbow towards the core, and trying to keep my spine neutral, might be the thing that makes it feel like a safer exercise to do.
Just popping this here in case anyone else was having similar issues. I'm not as bendy as Jenny but I'm bendy enough that my body always opts to bend if it can.
I've been following the content for the past 2 years I would say, its allowed me to become more and more active and control the pain since a recent back operation. I thank you both for this as you have made a significant change to my lifestyle. You absolutely rock!
Absolute legend! Love to hear that!! 💪🏼💪🏼
So informative. Thank you!
This is great information! Thank you guys!
Our pleasure!
Thank-you! Sooo helpful! New Subscriber!
Awesome! Yes I was super excited about this one 😄😄💪🏼
I would love a series for obese people trying to get into regular exercise as that's the situation I'm in. I know I have good form for weights under my trainer but outside of that my posture is poor day to day
Thanks for the video guys! I have been trying to work hard on my posture and core strength, but now I have hit a point where I am unsure whether I overdid the training or I need to do more. I have been doing normal planks and side planks daily, along with running and swimming. But still I have two tough-to remove muscle knots in my lower back. Can you guys give some tipps/advice for stretching? How often should you do it, what is a good balance between stretching and strengthening? Like I said I'm very motivated to work on my core and posture, but I might have been overdoing the training recently while trying to force quick results (after years of sitting too much).
Don’t more full joint movement stuff especially for your hips is really important, really deep split squats and hip rotational movements are great, basically stretching and strengthening combined
Would love to see a video of you wearing that shirt to yoga and a vegan banquet! LoL. Thanks for another helpful video.
👍
Hi Tom what do you think of the 12 minute video from foundation training ?
Haven’t seen it
While we're talking bracing for lifting.. do you have opinions and/or advice about breathing for that? There's the breath out on exertion crowd and the crowd that says hold your breath for most/all of movement to create more bracing from air pressure. Personally I tend to lose my muscle tension for bracing when I breathe fully into my core and can't get it back without releasing some air... and then have trouble doing more than a couple reps when holding my breathe for whole rep (and breathing once between reps)--need to take a few breaths between if doing more than a couple reps. Great video here BTW, one for the saved playlist for sure.
ideally breath while bracing, but it is a bit of a skill! We talk about it more here: czcams.com/video/-Iujmfw1ZaI/video.html
@@TomMorrison Thanks! Watched it just now and asked a question there too, lol.
Does this also mean to better not go into a deep squat (yet), as long as the lower back still gets rounded in the last part? (I mean just for sitting, without weights). Just go as far until the rounding begins?
Without weights it’s totally fine to rest and round, this is only for loaded movements 😄
Thanks! @@TomMorrison
When I workout trying to keep a neutral spine and an active brace, it feels a little overwhelming. Everything is so much harder. and I feel a little obsessive about making sure I'm doing it 100 percent right. And its very hard to know if i've even got it right without someone watching. I feel much more robotic. So a lot of times I just go into my old habits because at least i feel a little more athletic. Weird question, but do you have any tips for this?
It should feel harder yes, hips should feel tighter etc too but that’s more down to torque and tension which is what you want when lifting 😄
Thank you
