Long ago my physical therapist drummed into me "You can bend, and you can twist, but NEVER bend and twist at the same time." So I changed how I moved when I was building things or doing heavy gardening. It was awkward at first to avoid bending and twisting at the same time, and to do some things in two steps instead of one, but that has saved me a lot of pain as I've aged - I can feel how keeping those two movements separate keeps my spine stable.

I think a table of contents will be very helpful. All times and descriptions are approximate:

0:55: windmills / bend, twist, and touch toes with fingers
1:45: full sit-ups, supported sit-ups, sit-ups with weights on chests
2:55: V-sits, and V-sits with twists
3:30: tricep dips off the end of a bench
4:10: running on same side of an inclined road all the time
5:32: upright rows
6:35: standing chest rows with dumbbells
7:25: standing side bends with dumbbells
8:12: behind the neck press-ups and military press
9:24: wide based push ups
10:18: jumping exercises on concrete and landing position of knees
10:48: quad extension machines
11:51: twisting motion with weights for core

I've done ALL of these for years and now I'm paying for it. Listen to these guys!

I knew the gym teachers were trying to kill me back in my school days.

I always walked my dog along the same slope at the park. I ended up tilting my pelvis, and with bursitis in one hip. The physical therapist fixed me up like magic. But five years later, I developed arthritis in the injured hip and had to get a total hip replacement. Bob, you know what you are talking about. BTW, the surgery went perfectly, and I am doing great.

So pretty much all the exercises you do during school and in the military

Please do a "15 Alternatives" video.

that intro.... i’ve stumbled upon gold

Notes taken from the video:
1)Be aware of when your joints are working excessively in order to compensate for the motion unnatural for a human, and change the direction or amplitude of exercise to preserve them;
2)Do not twist and bend your spine simultaneously, work on different muscle groups along the spine, but keep it fixed in one way or another to not stress it too much;
3)Negative effects of irrational exercising take time to build up, and you will realize them when you have already done much more bad than good to your skeletal structure;
4)You always can find another exercise for the desired group of muscles if you understand that the previous ones did you wrong;
5)Bob & Brad are the most famous physical therapists on the net (in their opinion, of course)

Finally!! My whole life I’ve had trouble with sit-ups; I can literally hear my lower back POP each time, but nobody ever believed me! They acted like I was being lazy & I was like no, it really hurts my back 😭

[TotalTennisGeek]

You two are VERY consistent! I have seen some of these warnings in your other videos, and the reasoning and warnings have been consistently the same. That makes me, as a researcher and analyst, very happy.

[Doriesep]

All of us to survive the 1960s PE classes now have bad backs. Thank a lot, Coach Lyles.

[danandrews]

I knew I wasn't crazy when my back hurt at age 16 doing sit-ups

[shobanar]

I stopped the forward bend and windmills and the lower back pain just stopped ! Thank you very much ! Please do keep sharing information like this. The "don't's" are actually so very important.

[ludwigvonn]

Probably the most honest video on exercise on YT. I always felt something was off with these exercises, but i continued doing them as literally everyone is doing them too... Never again.

[nikkininedoor]

Back in 2016, my personal trainer had me doing most of these exercises, until I was in so much agony after a year, I had to quit. Thank you for explaining why that likely happened to me. I have been following a few of your videos for a while now, and they're very enlightening and helpful in my current workout.

[Ehoge]

Can you guys create a workout video made up of safe exercises that work the entire body,

[shaydavis]

I've had lower back problems since I was a teenager. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention. You two are a wealth of knowledge.

[hackjuniordf]

I was very heavy and started swimming, walking, running and exercising in the pool (to avoid back problems and joint wear)... I've lost more than 30 kilos from June until now in December!

[johnhathaway]

I am retired and I need exercises. After viewing many fitness/physiotherapists on YouTube, I have decided to watch your videos only. Your explanations and honesty give you credability, and you are fun to watch.
