The idea here is you need to be able to have your knee come behind you, like in a lunge position. And it is a fundamental reason. It's actually a meme on the internet about... split squats or rear foot elevated split squats or Bulgarians are the worst exercise. It's the number one exercise everyone hates the most to do.

And the reason is that getting your leg behind you in a loaded lunge position is the hardest thing we do because we're so conditioned to what? Sitting in this flexed position.

What this allows us to do is not say you shouldn't sit because it'll hurt your back. I'm like, your back may hurt just because you're that person and you're super stressed and your dad didn't love you, whatever. I don't know what the reason is your back hurts. But what I can say and measure is, wow, you did all the sitting and now your hip extension sucks.

You've fundamentally altered just like those kids in the first grade who started heel striking. We're starting to see that, hey, we have a society that is not able to extend their hip. I wonder why your knee hurts. Oh, and also I see you're also missing hip extension. I wonder why you have chronic back pain. I don't know what the mechanisms are, but I also see you're missing hip extension here.

So what we want to start to say is just like that sit and rise test, a lot of the movements that we engage in or don't engage with start to shape our ability to access our native ranges of motion.

With its native range.

And muscles and tissues are like obedient dogs. They always come around. What age did you, when your great-grandmother got a cut, did she heal? She did. She healed a little slower than the 12-year-old. But you always are healing and turning over.

So there's no reason why we can't reclaim this range of motion, especially if we keep an eye on it, especially if your grandma likes to squat and kneel and sit on the ground. That's one of the things we're trying to do is say, where do we put this formal movement practice in that's a side or separated from exercise? Because that's what we think. I've done the Peloton. I'm good, right?
