Re: My progress

[Bogo]

Hey Ryo,

Very nice progress! I had two questions..

1. Where do you buy your zero drop shoes from?

2. How old are you?

Hi Ryo,

Do you sleep without a cushion for the whole night or only for a short while?

I'd also like to know which exercises you benefited the most from?  

Many thanks,

Lauren

Sounds good to me. It's more that what I do every day and I was already seeing results the first month. As long as she can stay motivated and keep at it I'm sure you'll start to see positive results.

For me, the first thing I noticed was that it was easier to breathe while running. It's something I've had problems with all my life so to finally be able to run normally was huge for me.

Thanks  a lot for your information. 

We've started brace + corset + bridge exercise for 3 days for her and will report at 1 week to see if any improvement. One thing  I am a little bit concerned that  she have to go to school all day and we only have time to do this in the evening. Wearing brace = 2 hours from 6-8pm, then some exercise for about 30 minutes  and wear corset for first 2 hour during her sleep. Is that ok that we only did this in the evening?

Hi Ryo,
ive got a question concerning your picture where you show which muscles you want to strengthen and which you want to stretch. I can't understand the way you do it because i personally think i had to do it the other way round(strengthen back, stretching chest). Could you explain me how your method works because I'm really motivated to fight against my PE when i see such a success like yours

how can you stretch your upper abs and strengthen your lower abs? if i do the rader pull exercise i notice a big stretch in the area of the upper abs but if i do it too long i feel giddy, is that normal?

and i have one more question: what things do i need to be able to achieve a good result? Is a zero-drop shoe (probably selfmade), bed without pillow, posture brace and a corset enough?

[David]

sorry if i annoy you with my questions but i have one other question :D if i train my obliques, which effect will this have? will the stronger obliques pull out the ribs (what could help against the rib flare) or will they push the ribs in? because when the obliques would push them in, the "peak" of the ribs would get even worse am i right?

Good progress Ryo! I would suggest a different setup for the photos though, based on my experience. You should try and use a proper photocamera with a fixed position and always use the same light, so the progress is easier to identify. However congratulations on your results, looks promising and seems to be working. How much has the depression decreased in mm since you started?

Fede

New update:

For the past 2 months I've been mostly focusing on symmetry of my body. Through daily stretching I have been able to almost completely fix my lateral pelvic tilt and made great progress with the anterior pelvic tilt (about 80% gone). Can't say how much I've fixed my spine, but people have been noticing that I'm taller than I used to be (mostly due to correcting my posture).

My PE has also been decreasing, all be it slowly. You can see on the picture bellow that the change in depth is now actually visible.

One thing that I found a bit peciluar. At first I thought that fixing my pelvis abnormalities would help with the symmetry of the chest wall. It actually did the opposite. With the chest correctly aligned my left rib flared much further out than it did before. It makes sense, the body adapted itself to the constant shifted position of my spine. Through stretching exercises I was able to bring back the flared rib and now my chest is almost symmetrical. Some more work is of course still needed but it's shaping up nicely.

1 thing that I've found really helped me was walking (with proper footwear ofc). I now walk around 30-50 km each week.

Hey ryo,

very nice progress! Keep up the work :) What exactly do you do against the rib flare?

Hi Ryo,

It's good to follow up your regular updates and see your continuous improvement. The decrease in your resting heart rate is quite impressive. Though the blood pressure is not much dependant on the heart rate or fitness level. Measuring your resting heart rate in a daily basis is a fair method to keep track of your cardiovascular fitness improvement in time. 60s are perfectly healthy. I've been measuring mine around 50s in the season when I'm training more frequently, whereas seen rise to 55s or 60s in the off-season when my training schedule gets interrupted by weather conditions or loss of motivation from time to time. As you know, training volume and intensity is a big factor effecting the resting heart rate. To clarify my fitness level, I must say that I regulary run/ride between 5-10 hours a week, for 2-3 years, and my PE is about 1.5 to 2.0 cm deep.

Keep up the good work!

Hi. Ryo could you show your current form? Thanks.

Hello Ryo ! I was wondering how much have you progressed during all that time. Your topic is a very interesting one!

Hey Evren, thanks for your input.

I've checked my pulse today and it was 125/80, so I guess you're right. Maybe it was higher yesterday because I was working out. Or maybe it's because I haven't eating anything yet today and am in a fasted state. Anyway, seems like it doesn't matter, as far as I'm concerned my pulse is perfectly fine.

Heart rate was 65 today. As expected. Here's the interesting thing. I've barely been working out for the past 1 month due to an injury, so fitness level is pretty low. I've started building up my stamina this week. It will be interesting to note how my HR will change next month when I get my stamina and strength back.
