00:00So what are the six muscles or muscle groups that are most prone to inhibition and weakness in the
00:06human body? And what are some simple exercises for each of them? First we have the deep multifidus
00:12in the low back which can shrink up to 30 percent after back injury. Bird dog, one-legged bridge,
00:17and squats with some resistance are good exercises for the multifidus. Second we have the rotator
00:22cuff in the shoulder. Scaption and external rotation are good exercises to target the
00:26rotator cuff. Third is gluteus maximus and medius in the hip area. One-legged squat, one-legged bridge,
00:32hip thrust, and side steps are all good ones for the glutes. Fourth is the quadriceps which we commonly
00:37see atrophy with if you have knee issues. Again one-legged squat, squats and wall sits are good
00:42ones to target the quads. Next we have the deep neck extensors in the neck with similar behavior
00:47to the multifidus in the low back. Chin tuck with theraband is a good one to target those deep neck
00:52extensors. Lastly if you are on bed rest for a few days your calves have been shown to
00:56weaken the most and heel raises are good ones for the cat.
