I feel that because I am working with a trainer who is helping me figure out what works and what doesn't, I am finally going to have a program that I enjoy and that I will actually stick with for a while.<br/><br/>And that's a very interesting way of thinking about my onlookers. I will definitely keep that in mind when I start back at the gym. Jen,

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I feel that because I am working with a trainer who is helping me figure out what works and what doesn’t, I am finally going to have a program that I enjoy and that I will actually stick with for a while.

And that’s a very interesting way of thinking about my onlookers. I will definitely keep that in mind when I start back at the gym.

I think that part of what I am experiencing is that my Psoas is tight and my other core muscles are weak. I feel I have a little too much lumbar lordosis and a touch of forward head. When I sit and completely relax my posture (even happens a bit when standing) my lumbar spine moves anterior due to laxity in my core. Hans,

Every journey begins with a single step (to paraphrase some famous person), and you definitely took that first step. <br/><br/>You are right. Your health is important and doing good things for <i>you</i> is important.We spend so much time doing for others that we tend neglect ourselves. <br/><br/>I hope you continue on your path towards your fitness goals. Perhaps a consultation with a nutrionist in combination with the personal trainer would give further insight into what to eat when to best suit your overall health aspirations (i.e. good carbs before, high protein after, etc.). <br/><br/>Anyway, good luck & and absolutely don't ever worry about what others are thinking. I know it's easier said than done - but when you find yourself struggling just ask yourself this: are all those people who you think are laughing and judging you going to be there when your heart gives out on you??

I think the core of the core is the most important, Psoas and psoas minor. I use the body ball to make sure they are functional. Try it; supine with heels on ball, sway side to side. monitor the motion of the mastoid like for starting a wobble in CST. lift buttocks off floor and the mastoids should lock with the hips and the sway should shift to the lower cervical. Lift again with knees slightly bent and the motion should shift to the mid cervical. Lift again with knees at right angle and the motion should shift to the upper cervical. It is the principle of Lovett's reciprocal motion that Paul StJohn talks about.<br/>Hans Albert Quistorff, LMP<br/>Antalgic Posture Pain Specialist So the core muscles are next.
