Mastering Movement and Biomechanics | Dr. Jordan Shallow
The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show
Optimize Movement, Not Stability
The human body is biologically optimized for bipedal movement, prioritizing essential functions like walking and breathing, which allows for a focus on higher cognitive tasks. This optimization involves shifting many muscular contractions to the autonomic nervous system, enabling balance without conscious effort. Traditional exercises like squats can trigger compensatory movements due to their reliance on stability, which may overwhelm individuals with weaker physical capabilities. In contrast, using a leg press machine allows for controlled resistance that can accommodate individual strength levels without forcing the body into a reactive state, promoting safer and more effective training.
