Beginner's Bundle®

 I had 2 tendons surgically re-attached in my right shoulder in 2017, it healed beautifully.
 

Last summer I tweaked it (doing too much anterior work). The physio basically said "you're screwed & too old, take this band, this handout of 80s rehab movements and have a nice day". 

Then, I found Tom Morrison & The Simplistic Mobility Method. 

F*cking CURED my shoulder. 

I am a 63-year old former aerobics instructor, & I think that SMM rocks! 

 Thanks for all the sense you talked into me earlier this year, when I was reeling with shock. My specialist told me that based of my lumber & sacroiliac joints MRI results, I would need a wheelchair shortly. 

I am an autistic woman, full time carer to 2 adult disabled sons, who is falling apart & needs to keep going forever to care for them. 

I do The Simplistic Mobility Method throughout the day, in between caring for both my lads. Thanks for all the tips on using the stairs & the kitchen work surfaces, it really helped. I WILL conqueror push-ups & planks. 

I thought you might be interested to know that I now have a training partner - my 29 year old son, Luke, (Down Syndrome & mainly a wheelchair user). 

He joins me in the kitchen while I'm cooking his breakfast and does assisted squats and push-ups, using the kitchen counters. I was blown away that he has been watching & is now copying me. 

He's really proud that he is looking after himself. I'm really proud of him too. 

Your influence is stretching far and wide - even to those who haven't watched a video. 

There's no badge or fireworks for it, but I am still celebrating my 70th SMM today! 

This is the longest I've ever stuck with any exercise program and I have definitely made progress in everything. In fact today I had touch down on both elbows and it felt easy!!! 

And someone commented on a post I made in January about struggling with thoracic bridge presses, and today I did 10 on each side on the second stair.

Thank you, Tom Morrison, Jenni Sanders and everyone else for ALL you do and for giving me the tools and confidence to fix myself!

Happy post - another activity improved by SMM

I have two flights today, both delayed with extra sitting and waiting on the planes. This used to be a nightmare with my lower back hurting, occasionally to the point of a sciatica flare-up and inability to walk (in my thirties! 😁). 

This time my lower back is totally fine, shows no sign of discomfort, and the usual movements like taking my zipped hoodie on/off in such a tight space or reaching my under seat bag are just super easy thanks to my improved back mobility. I am so happy!!! SMM rocks 👊

Anyone else with such simple but awesome gains? 🤩

"You need to prepare yourself for the fact you will likely be in a wheelchair by age 50" said the not so helpful physio 8 years ago.
(A year of strong opiates, whilst waiting for a hip replacement for a collapsed femoral head resulted in a cascade of other injuries as I couldn't exercise and had no strength to support my hyper mobile joints. I couldn't even get down to the floor or walk more than 15 mins)

Well I turned 50 yesterday, after a year of SMM and some amazing gains, (including doing 32 scuba dives in a week), this time last year my goal was to be able to post I was able to do a full SMM with no regressions on my birthday.

Unfortunately an incredibly difficult year including, an ankle op for a detached ligament, an infected hip requiring 2 hip replacements late last year, along with ankle surgery for a neuroma 2 weeks ago, severely impacted my ability to achieve that goal.

However I have maintained a routine of daily mobility of some sort throughout it all and, my recovery is going well. I just did a 10 rep SMM with some regressions. Which is still far from needing that wheelchair!

Tom Morrison Jenni Sanders, JP, and this community provide so much amazing support. You all really helped me get through this last year! So thank you!

The best thing I get from SMM is hope from all the amazing wins and stories posted, sharing your struggles and witnessing the support provided by everyone. That positive attitude to actively manage set backs and accept them as the norm.

I am determined I will achieve a side plank march and do a full lungeathon at some point!

For those new to SMM with consistency you will be amazed at what you can achieve!

Could it really be this simple? As a very active 74 yr old, I am still running, cycling,skiing, at a high competitive level. I go to the gym, routine exercises/yoga/pilates every day. When I started developing tightness in my lower back/hip/upper thigh plus tightness on the front lower knee, it felt as if my whole body was twisted.

After spending time at the chiropractor, physio,acupuncture etc etc I decided I needed to change what I was doing and try something new! I had followed Tom Morrison for a while and decided I had nothing to lose from giving it a go.

In checking out the exercises it didn't look too difficult...how wrong was I! Some of them I was already doing so they were ok, but the others were an eye opener and showed up weakness on one side of my body. During the first 10 days I felt like a cork trying to untwist myself 😎

I know longer have that twisted feeling, no pain in my back or hips and can finally doing a standard plank both sides (no marching yet).

Very impressive programme 👍
