It’s All About Functional Movement

What is the point of working out if it’s not making your life better? Sometimes I ask people why they chose to do an exercise (aka biceps curls – you know who I’m talking about…) and they either have no idea or it’s just to make their arms look better (come on, bro, enough with your arms! ). I mean, I get the reason, but what if the exercises you choose to do are actually REDUCING your functional movement? And what does that mean? It means your body will not work as well, which leads to muscle imbalances, chronic pain and a much higher injury risk.

Instead, I always start by asking which exercises would give you the most bang for your buck? Which exercises will help make you look good, while also IMPROVING functional movement. Improving functional movement means you will improve coordination and strength, while also improving your body’s ability to move in different directions and planes with balance, power and flexibility. This lowers your risk of chronic pain and injury and helps you move better in sports and life.

Okay, so can we agree that these are the kind of exercises you want to focus your time on? If you agree, then have another look at lunges. They tone your legs and butt, burn lots of calories and also strengthen your glutes and core, while improving flexibility in your hips, ankles, etc.. Plus, they are super functional. Almost every sport and everyday life requires some kind of lunge movement. Yes, this is a love letter to lunges and I don’t care who hears me… I LOVE YOU LUNGES!

It’s All About Good Form

Okay… it’s not enough to love lunges… You have to use good form or they won’t love you back! Check out the image above. It gives you all the notes you need to get the most out of lunges. What I love most about them is they really challenge your balance. They’re hard to do the right way. In the beginning, you’ll feel wobbly. Good!! That’s all those little muscles in your body working to keep you from falling. It’s a full body exercise that will make you sweat! You might feel creaky. It may be hard to get the full range of motion. That’s okay… just do what you can. As time goes on, try and get the full range of motion of the exercise.

Then, when you’re ready, add some weight. Kettlebells are great, but you can also hold dumbells. Heck, you can even hold heavy books or water jugs. You’ll start to get the motion down and it will start to feel a lot more fluid and natural. Good, now you’re ready to challenge yourself some more. Here’s the really good news. You can do ALL kinds of different lunges in different angles, planes and with different amounts of power (static, walking, jumping, etc).

Here’s a quick example… Reverse lunges:

You Can Do Lunges Anytime, Anywhere

You get the idea? There are all kinds of different lunges you can work up to… As you know, I created HEM Ankle Rehab and I use lunges to also help challenge your ankles and balance. It’s a great way to start increasing strength, balance, and flexibility in your ankles. It’s just one little tool, but man, it’s a good one!

Oh and I forgot the best part… you do NOT need a gym for this incredible exercise. You don’t need weights or equipment. You can do them anywhere, anytime. I do them sometimes when I’m walking my dog. Yeah, I’m doing lunges over here!!

So, get after it. Start incorporating lunges into your workouts. Or here’s a thought… If you’re at your desk for more than 1 hour. Stand up and do 3 sets of lunges on each leg. Oh yeah… get the blood flowing and make your body move functionally for 5 minutes. It certainly does NOT hurt to strengthen your glutes more, since most people sit all day!

You don’t need a full workout. Just get them in throughout the day. The thing that will surprise you the most is how much BETTER you get at doing them. And then, you’ll notice you move better throughout the day too, just naturally.

So, that’s my love letter to lunges. I hope you learn to love them too!!

If you want to heal your ankle fully & fast…

And get back to doing what you love PAIN-FREE, without the fear of re-injury

This will be the most important thing you ever do for yourself.

Here’s why:

My name is Scott Malin and fifteen years ago, I had to give up what I love… playing basketball. It literally crushed me to give it up!!

But, I had sprained my ankles so many times that I could no longer play.

Every time it happened, I used R.I.C.E. (rest, ice elevation, compression), but my ankles took months to heal and just kept getting weaker and more painful.

I tried everything, including ankle braces, but they made my ankles even weaker and then my knees started hurting too!

When I sprained my ankle one last time and had to crawl off the court, I knew I was done.

That night, I sat in my apartment and cried.

I was in my early thirties and thought I had to give up what I loved for the rest of my life.

But, I had no other option…

My ankles were just way too weak, stiff and unstable and painkillers/ice did nothing anymore.

As I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling, I remembered back to when I trained with a clinician for the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Soft Tissue Therapist for the Los Angeles Clippers.

I also thought about a revolutionary Naturopath that taught me so much about healing the body naturally.

Then, I came up with a crazy idea…

It instantly improved how my ankle felt.

And the more I did it, the better my ankle got.

By day 6, my ankle was 100% pain-free and felt stronger and more stable than BEFORE I got injured.

The best part… I PLAYED BASKETBALL AGAIN, BUT THERE WAS NO PAIN!!

Afterward, I cried again, but they were tears of joy!!

When I told them what I did, my basketball buddies laughed and said I was crazy.

They called me a “dreamer”.

But, I didn’t care.

Because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I threw my ankle braces away.

After months of late nights, early mornings, and lots of trial and error…

I created a complete, at-home healing system with incredibly reliable results:

  • Heals new ankle injuries including ANY type and grade of ankle sprain.
  • Heals old ankle injuries that never fully healed.
  • Heals weak and unstable ankles.
  • Even heals most Achilles, calf and foot injuries!

Since I was a fitness trainer, I was able to help all my clients (celebrities and athletes) whenever they got injured (which happened a lot!).

I was even on the news a few times!!!

The response from my clients was so overwhelming that a few of them eventually convinced me to make it available to everyone.

And even though it is incredibly complete, I always wanted to keep it SUPER simple and easy to do.

So, just follow along with me on any device and that’s it!

You get instant access to all the videos, which are short and focused on quickly giving you the information you need.

I will show you the absolute BEST rehab techniques, exercises, stretches, activations, holistic techniques, prehab techniques, etc….

These are techniques you will NOT find online anywhere else.

You will learn the perfect form for everything to get the best possible results.

It has taken many years of incredibly hard and dedicated work, but I am so humbled that over 100,000 people have healed themselves fully and fast with my program.

If you don’t believe me, please, check out all the reviews, including video testimonials, before and after pictures, etc. from people of all ages.

And listen, I know you’re probably still skeptical. That’s totally fair…

That’s why we have a very simple, no hassle, 30 day money back guarantee, so it’s completely risk-free to give it a try right now.

I created this program, because I don’t want others to go through all the pain and misery that I did!!

I don’t want anyone else to give up what they love…

Life is too short!!!

And now, there’s an easy way you can heal yourself and get back to your life.

I wish you all the best and thank you!!

Just got your videos for the holistic rehab the other day. It has already helped and I am so grateful as I know Drs want to cut you open and ask questions later. My left ankle is very badly sprained, completely black and purple and swollen half way up my calf. I am an athlete and have zero intentions of being cut on now or in the future! It was a major eversion off a curb and I just want it to get back to normal. Thanks so much for putting this HEM ankle rehab together, it's a godsend! Have a beautiful day.

Hello Mr. Malin,

I want to thank you for this website. In the end of november, I sprained my ankle and my doctor said that there is an avulsion fracture in my ankle(ATFL). I had really hard times after this incident. When I was looking for how to heal fast, I saw your website. I tried to do as much as different exercises that you showed. Now I face some difficulties during my daily life due to my foot but swelling is decreasing everyday thanks to exercises. Especially, the video about how to activate ankle is very beneficial for me.

Thanks for your support both mentally and physically.

Sincerely,
Orhun Oktar, Electrical and Electronics Engineer

Your program is great. I actually broke one ankle and sprained the other. I just got the cast off and will begin rehab on that ankle now.

I bought your Hem Ankle program in 2018 and used it very successfully with THREE ankle injuries. I am also interested to buy the programme for knees etc.
