Charlie Rymer:
I’m still with Rick Murphy. I hadn’t run him off yet, but I’m a little concerned.
Rick Murphy:
We’ll have to wait.
Charlie Rymer:
Now, in our last video, we did the evaluation with the Kinexit Program there.
Rick Murphy:
Right.
Charlie Rymer:
You put all that information into the app, and now it’s spitting out a program.
Rick Murphy:
Yeah. Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
What I need to work on.
Rick Murphy:
That’s right.
Charlie Rymer:
There’s quite a few exercises I’m sure that are presented.
Rick Murphy:
Sure.
Charlie Rymer:
Maybe let’s look at three of them.
Rick Murphy:
Okay.
Charlie Rymer:
And demonstrate for the folks.
Rick Murphy:
Okay.
Charlie Rymer:
You can demonstrate-
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… and I’m going to try.
Rick Murphy:
Yeah. We did the assessment. Took about 10 minutes. What we’re going to do with this first routine is we’re going to… There is a capability for warmup. If you were going to play a round of golf this afternoon or tomorrow, based on these limitations, there is a prescribed warmup. But we’re going to start with Charlie. This is his first 15-minute workout with flexibility, so we’re going to address that. We can select the time that you want to work out, so we can go flexibility, 15 minutes, 30, 45, or an hour-
Charlie Rymer:
Let’s take 15.
Rick Murphy:
Okay. We’re going to stay at 15, and here we go.
Charlie Rymer:
Gives me a nice countdown.
Rick Murphy:
Here is Charlie’s first of six exercises, and we’re going to take three of these. Charlie, on your iPad, it’s going to show you exactly how to do this. You want to do 15 reps with each leg. Okay? This is the number one. What you’re going to do, if you’ll hold the iPad-
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
… I can demonstrate that… It appears that he is on his left knee. Right?
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
He’s up, and all you’re doing is bending forward, flexing forward. It’s important that you look at the placement of the feet and hips. You’re going to do 15 reps this way. Then you’re going to switch legs, and do 15 reps this way. But for today, let’s just do it a couple of times with each leg. Okay?
Charlie Rymer:
Okay. Let me jump down there, and see if I can do it. It would help probably… He said there’s no equipment that you really need for this-
Rick Murphy:
That’s right.
Charlie Rymer:
… But a yoga mat or something like that-
Rick Murphy:
Sure.
Charlie Rymer:
… would be helpful.
Rick Murphy:
Yes.
Charlie Rymer:
I get in a good position. I’m assuming my posture needs to be very correct here, so good-
Rick Murphy:
That’s right.
Charlie Rymer:
… posture.
Rick Murphy:
That’s correct.
Charlie Rymer:
I’m just going to go-
Rick Murphy:
And lean forward. That’s it. And reach forward, come back, reach forward.
Charlie Rymer:
Is that good form right there?
Rick Murphy:
Yeah. That’s great. Then you’re going to do 15 reps on that left leg, and now you’re going to switch over to the right. Do 15 reps.
Charlie Rymer:
I can tell it’s helping… Even a little bit with the balancing-.
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… here. I’ll just go-
Rick Murphy:
Reach forward.
Charlie Rymer:
… 15 here.
Rick Murphy:
Yep. Reach back, reach forward, and back, and this is helping you with your flexibility. Here it also times you, so you’ve got 15 minutes to do these exercises.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
We’re going to go to the next one-
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
… that’s prescribed for you. It looks like this, where you’re going to be on your left knee with the right foot forward.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
So, you’re on the left knee with the right foot forward. Be careful that you can stay balanced there first. You’re going to reach forward. You’re stretching the hamstring. Okay? And you’re adding some flection-
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
… in the upper body.
Charlie Rymer:
That one, honestly, looks a little more challenging to me. We’ll see what we get out of that.
Rick Murphy:
Okay. There you are.
Charlie Rymer:
This position-
Rick Murphy:
Boom. Yeah, and you just reach forward and back.
Charlie Rymer:
I need some work. I’m out of-
Rick Murphy:
This is day one. Okay? Then you would do it with the opposite leg.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
This is day one.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
Let’s say, for example, you don’t like that particular exercise. You can click on dislike. It’ll throw it out, and substitute-
Charlie Rymer:
And find you something.
Rick Murphy:
… another one.
Charlie Rymer:
Because I’m going to run into some of these that-
Rick Murphy:
Yes.
Charlie Rymer:
… I’m just not going to be able to-
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… pull off, and that’s fine.
Rick Murphy:
There’re 1500 exercises in here. Okay?
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
You’re just dealing with six that are based on your limitations.
Charlie Rymer:
I don’t like that last one.
Rick Murphy:
If we go to the next one, we would just hit-
Charlie Rymer:
Which means I need to-
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… do it.
Rick Murphy:
Dislike. Now, we’re going to go to the third one. You’re going to be on your left knee, right foot out, externally rotated, and you’re going to side bend to your left.
Charlie Rymer:
I’m going to be on my left knee.
Rick Murphy:
Be on your right knee… Left knee. Left knee.
Charlie Rymer:
Left knee.
Rick Murphy:
Yep. Right foot out.
Charlie Rymer:
External rotation.
Rick Murphy:
You can see it, and now-
Charlie Rymer:
Up.
Rick Murphy:
You’re going to side bend to the left. That’s dealing with that… If there’s any limitation in your right side.
Charlie Rymer:
Yeah.
Rick Murphy:
Okay. It’s mobility and flexibility. That’s what that’s dealing with.
Charlie Rymer:
You know, Rick, when you look at these exercises they don’t look like much.
Rick Murphy:
Right.
Charlie Rymer:
But when you get in that position, and then have the right form-
Rick Murphy:
Right.
Charlie Rymer:
… even that little bit of movement-
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… I can tell that’s going to-
Rick Murphy:
Yeah.
Charlie Rymer:
… help.
Rick Murphy:
We’re not looking for champions. Right?
Charlie Rymer:
Right.
Rick Murphy:
We’re just looking for… Can we get a little bit today? Can you get a little bit next week, and the third week, and then by the time you come back in we’ll do the reassessment, and here we go on a whole new workout.
Charlie Rymer:
I think I can do this. Then how long before I do my next assessment?
Rick Murphy:
Six weeks.
Charlie Rymer:
Six weeks.
Rick Murphy:
We should do it in the next six to seven weeks.
Charlie Rymer:
Okay.
Rick Murphy:
And address how much improvement you’ve made, or not, and we’ll have a whole new group of exercises.
Charlie Rymer:
In the meantime, I might call you up on a phone and yell at you a few times.
Rick Murphy:
Yes. I’m sure.
Charlie Rymer:
Is that all right?
Rick Murphy:
That’s fine. That’s fine.
Charlie Rymer:
