Hey folks, Charlene for health.com. Let's talk about long term exercise goals. Now, have you ever started a new exercise regime and things are going great, you're consistent, you're feeling good, you're seeing results and then it just stops. Now a lot of the times this is understandable, life happens. But other times I believe that it's a level of customization that perhaps was not found for you. So that's customization that's in alignment with your goals, aligns with your preferences, your likes. And even certain ailments that you might have that make you feel the best and allow you to get the most out of your workout. Things that actually get you to a point where you're looking forward to your workout. So how do we start to look at this? Well, I'm going to share with you one of the things, one of many things that I do for myself that allows me to get the most out of my work in. I love doing a lot of variations of squats and lunges, but I've been having problems with my right knee especially. And there's things that I do to help manage it and it allows me to get the most out of my workout. And therefore, more enjoyment out of my workout. I look forward to it and I feel great when it's done. O, I'm going to share that with you. I would love for you to do this with me. Stick around. Now notice I have a pencil in my hand. We're going to do something very unique. I could almost guarantee it. Something you've never done before, but I'd love for you to try it with me. So if you have a pen or pencil nearby, go get it. If you don't, you'll be able to use your thumb. You're just going to find a little tiny point on your thumb that you're going to use. We're going to do something called a pencil pushup now to measure some of the effectiveness of this. I'm going to couple this with a side lunch because that's an exercise that I really want to do right now. I'm heading out to the golf course very shortly and I want to do some warm up with some rotational lower body exercises and this is going to allow me to get the most out of it. And again, this is an exercise I enjoy. It's one of my favorite exercises. So to just get the very basics of it, I want to see how deep I could go on a side lunge right now because I'm having an issue with my right knee a little bit. That's the one I'm going to test right now. So feel free to come up with your own assessment, maybe touching your toes or if you're also feeling something in your knee, do this with me. So let me see how deep I could get into my, Yep, it's not very far right now. So this is where I'm at right now. Now, if it still feels this way, this is still enough to get a workout in. I could still get a side lunge in even if it's not that deep. But if I could go deeper and pain free, I prefer to do that. So that's my initial assessment. I see where I am now. Now we're going to do something really quick. And again, this is probably something very different than you've done before. It's called the pencil pushup. What we're doing is working our visual system, which has a lot of responsibility for overall posture. And we work some of our ocular muscles, so this can really translate into your overall posture and tension and discomfort. So try this with me. Here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna take this pencil here and I'm putting it out in front of me. And I'm gonna bring it toward my face very slowly, right toward the bridge of my nose. And my eyes are converging, coming together, keeping my eye on that point. And then I'm going to slowly take it back so that my eyes slowly diverge. And we're working a lot of our ocular muscles here. So I'm going to do it again very slowly. Hold it. I'm only going to do 2 of these. I'm holding it, keeping my eyes very carefully as best as I can on the tip of that pencil. Now, if you were using your thumb, just pick a small dot on your. Come. And use it that way so that you really are pencil and penciling in what you're looking at. OK, enough of the pencil, let's reassess. So now let's see how far I could. This is great. It actually feels amazing right now. So I could go fully into a side lunge right now and then allow me to do some of my exercises that I'm looking forward to doing right now. So there you have it. This is something that when we think of customization, it's finding particular drills and exercises that work for us individually and allow us to do other exercises to really get the most out of it and really get some enjoyment out of our workouts. So if you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out anytime. This is Cheryl living for help. Thank you so much for watching.
