Thank you, 6D Living and Sia, for breathing life into my playlist!
If the members have any topic-centric questions or comments about the video of the day, please feel free to write them in the comment section for each blog or video, and I will reply within 24-48 hours.
The Sumo Squat is a favorite of mine as the wider leg position often frees up the lower back and allows for a deeper recruitment of the contraction of the gluteal muscles versus a basic squat. Often, females fall due to weak gluteals. It's important to train them to prevent this from happening.
Have fun!
Live your best boomer + life!
I am very excited about sharing Angela's amazing videos here with our community. She is a powerhouse for our health and will guide us each Saturday (beginning on September 28th) through her amazing videos in our live zoom Osteopororis workouts!
Thank you Angela for allowing us to learn from you, build our muscles and strengthen our bones together!
