- Howdy, folks.
I'm Bob Schrupp, Physical Therapist.
- Brad Heineck, Physical Therapist.
- And we're the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our own opinion, of course, Bob.
- This is interesting.
Today we're gonna talk about
indoor resistance running.
- Hm.
- And you don't need the treadmill.
No machines.
At home.
You can do a high-intensity interval training
or just traditional, right?
For cardio. - Just to do some cardio.
- Traditional cardio. Keep your heart rate up
for extended period of time
like when you do go out and run.
- And actually a little bit of core strengthening too.
- Oh, yeah.
This has got a number of benefits.
- This has gotta have
people intrigued, I gotta believe.
- All right, we're gonna-- - If you go onto our channel,
- Oh, yeah. - please take a second

We upload everyday.
Also, join us on our social media channels

because we're always giving something away.
Go to the give-away section
and you'll find out this week
we are giving away a bunch of TENS units.
Our TENS units are
transcutaneal electrical neuromuscular nerve stimulation.
- For pain management.
- And for pain management.
Fantastic.
Really work well on knots.
We just did a video on that.
- Yes, we did.
- You can also go to Facebook.
It'll be pinned to the top of the page.
You can also go to Twitter and Instagram
for a short version of us.
I'm only 5' 10". - Yeah. We just put
it in really fast motion.
(rolling tongue) - That's right.
(laughing)
Oh, all right. - Oh.
Make us laugh. - We make ourselves laugh.
Okay.
- So, indoor running, indoor resistance, or whatever why,
and so I like to run outside.
I know Bob does too.
- Yep.
- It's that time of year.
Getting cold outside.
I do not like running
in the cold. - Well, it gets
slippery.
I mean, that's when I stop.
When it starts snowing
and, you know. - Right, right,
yup.
Cold, slippery, whatever. - Right.
- It's that time of year.
If you wanna continue your aerobic exercise,
which I'm very interested in doing,
I need to go to a treadmill,
which I don't have one at home.
I don't plan on getting one at home
and it's inconvenient
for me. - Take up a lot of room.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
- Right.
And they need maintenance, blah, blah, blah.
But, now this, is gonna take its place.
It really gets your heartrate up
and you can work it in a number
of different manners.
You need some equipment
but not real high-end.
Nothing fancy.
- Nothing expensive by any means.
- Right, and this equipment
you can use for resistance,
training. - Yeah, other things too.
- Right.
For those arms,
and core, legs. - All right.
- So what you do need
is you need some stretch bands.
They have the little-- - The exercise tubing
or exercise bands. - Yup.
They have the little hooks here
and you need some way
to connect the band to a wall
at chest level and at ankle level
which we use the,
- Wall anchor.
- Wall anchor 'cause it works so handy-dandy.
It's extremely easy to get your bands on and off
and they are just wonderful.
So I'm gonna use this band
for traditional resistance running,
which you may see on TV
or a football player doing it.
- You got it hooked
to just an exercise strap-type
thing. - Right.
You could use a leather belt.
- Yeah, you could hook up
to a regular belt.
- Yep.
This is just one of those straps like this.
They're very common.
- Yeah. - The tall loop strap.
I'm just doubling it up.
- But yeah, a belt would work fine.
- Oh, yeah. - I mean,
you could even do a belt loop
if you didn't wanna,
well you don't wanna rip it, I suppose.
- Yeah, if you rip your belt loop.
But you could try that.
So here we go.
Clarify that.
So I'm gonna hook that onto there.
And now, if you want to just do this,
you can do this.
You get some distance out for resistance.
And you just start your jog.
Now, this you can warm up
and if you wanna do some
high-intensity interval training,
HIIT training,
you can work it here.
Get all that farther away.
The nice thing about this
is you can turn sideways and do it,
and working different muscles.
- Sure. - And if we did this
for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off
I'm gonna get my heartrate up.
You're gonna get some nice training done.
However, that's not it Bob.
There's more.
- [Bob] There we go.
Then there's more. - But wait.
Yeah.
We're gonna add some resistance to the arm.
Now the big component
that this adds is core strengthening.
- [Bob] Sure.
- Because we're working our arms.
The core has to work
otherwise these would pull you backwards.
So we can just get a feel for this.
- [Bob] Now you're like Rocky Balboa here.
- Bom bom, bompa bompa.
- [Bob] There we go.
- Can I sing that song? - [Bob] yeah, you can sing
anything. - YouTube won't get mad
at me?
- [Bob] No, you can cover.
- Okay.
Okay, so again, now just yesterday I did this,
well I actually modified with the ankles,
I'll show that in a bit.
But you can do the HIIT training,
interval, or just simply,
you're not gonna go real long like this.
You're not gonna go 20 minutes
to start out with.
- [Bob] Harder than you think.
- Oh yeah.
- [Bob] Right.
- I tried to keep it all going
and I went three minutes
and I had to take a break.
So that's with the hands.
- [Bob] Three minutes was your limit right now.
- Well, that's not exactly true
because I did take the lower ones
and along with these tubes
typically comes ankle
Velcro straps, - [Bob] Ankle straps, right.
that you could go here.
And this give you-- - Bob] Generally a kit
will have all these pieces. - Yep.
This gives you resistance on your legs,
resistance in your hips,
resistance with your hands.
It's the ultimate, Bob.
- [Bob] There we go,
now we got this on. - This is the ultimate
indoor resistance running,
which naturally I had
to go to. - [Bob] That's right.
Because I'm not smart enough
to build up to it.
- [Bob] You're always on the extremes, Brad.
- Yeah, why not, you know?
Okay, so now I'm gonna
have resistance all over
which makes quite a difference.
And it's kinda fun
'cause I feel like I'm leaning forward, which I am.
And it's pulling me backwards.
Let me get 'em in here.
It feels a little bit better. - [Bob] Sure.
- Now, the other thing
you can do with this is break it up.
You can throw some flys in there.
You can throw some overhead lats.
- [Bob] Oh, you're working now.
- Oh, yeah.
And then you can go sideways
and work it this way
and work that core.
Br, brah.
And go this way.
That's the beauty of these bands
and the anchor isn't so forgiving
and you can just change directions just flawlessly.
- Sure.
- Oh, bob.
Like I said. - And like I said,
this is all part of just a standard kit.
So it's not-- - Right, gonna go
sideways.
- Right.
So you just need a standard kit
along with the wall anchors
and you're good to go.
- Whoo, this is fun.
You can even throw kicks in there.
For thus in a harder box.
You are a bundle... - Upper-cuts, hooks, hooks.
Back to the indoor running,
that's what we said. - You are a bundle
of energy, Brad.
Bundle of
energy. - It's fun, Bob.
I'm telling ya.
Whoo.
- There we go, warmed you up. - I don't know
how many minutes went in it, Brad.
- You should have your monitor on
to see what heart rate's
at right now. - Yeah.
- [Bob] It's like a rabbit. - Oh, it's
I'm sure I'm about 70%.
- [Bob] Okay.
- Wow, have fun.
- Great idea, it's gonna work out well for you.
Remember Brad and I can fix just about anything.
- Except for,
- A broken heart.
- Yeah, this might get into part of it though.
- Yeah, we can help cardio
so that's good enough.
Thanks for watching.
