Muscle Of the Week... Review

Hi There 

I want to do a review of the muscles we have done! We have done 20 so far!! Remember we are just trying to gain more insight on where the muscles are and get an idea of the functions it has. We are not Anatomy students, just learning about our bodies!!

Here is the muscles we have done and what we learnt on our way 
A
Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Foot
Here we learnt that ABductor muscles functions take the movement away from the body 
Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Hand
Digiti means digit 
Abductor Hallucis 
Hallucis means Big Toe
Abductor Pollicis Brevis
Pollicus means Thumb 
Brevis means Short
Abductor Pollicis Longus 
Longus means Long 
Adductor Brevis
Adductor means the functions of these muscles takes the movement toward the body 
Adductor Hallucis
Adductor Longus 
Adductor Magnus
Magnus means great 
Adductor Pollicis 
Anconeus 
Articularis Cubiti
Some textbook consider this muscle as part of the Biceps Brachi 
Articularis Genu 
Auricularis 
B
Biceps Brachii 
Biceps means two heads 
Bicep Femoris
Part of the Hamstring group and most vulnerable to tears  
Brachialis
Brachii means Arm  
Brachioradialis 
The name of the muscle usually gives away it's posion-- Brachii- Arm Radialis - Bone on the same side as the thumb-- as the thumb can draw a cicle!
Buccinator 
Terminator muscle- As the terminator looses his face in the movie especially this cheeck where the Buccinator is located!! 
Bulbospongiosus 

We have also learnt why we use Latin for the naming the muscles. Not only is it an old language but it is also a dead language. It is not spoken anymore thus it cannot evolve like our modern languages do.Thus we can all use it all over the world and there will be no worries about wrong interpretations or misunderstanding. 

I really this series and we are not even close to the end!! There are so many muscles!!! This gives me the opportunity to rehash my studying and also find out new research that was not there while I studied! I must also confess that I enjoy this more because the stress of have to know all this for exams is totally missing!! I am just learning with the rest you!!

Thank You for following this series. If this is your first exposure to this feel free to read the muscle we have done.
Are you enjoying this series? Are you learning anything? Does it help? 

Next week we will be back with muscles that start with C!!

 Keep Moving until next time👋

Getting Personal... Training Hard

Image
Hi There I am sorry for disappearing... This last week was hectic. It reminded me of my humanity... I am going to get personal; but don't get use to it. This is not a "Dear Diary" blog. But I think it might help with what this blogging adventure of mine is about; which is to encourage and change our mindset on movement. I am not what you would call an typical athlete. In fact my body build and background does not "fit" the usual attributes of an athlete. That said, I love running. I do cross country competitively, but I compete only against myself. This last few weeks I trained really hard and I got selected for my Province. I ran in my Provincial clothes  and I have never been so proud to wear the Daisy of AGN. I did not expect to get selected.  It made me think that we think we can not do something, but that we are actually capable. We just need to train. Everything comes with training. We train our kids how to be polite and eat ect. We train our brains

Do I need a Personal Trainer?

Hi There  This is an awesome question! But the answer is tricky. As a Sport Scientist I do take on Personal Training clients. I approach them the same as I would any athlete, just with other goals (Remember the goal blog post? The difference is the goal; the why you are doing it).  Many of my Personal Training clients just need me to get them started. They don't need me to per se tell them what to do, but they need me to motivate, check on correct movement, making sure the body isn't taking short cuts etc. That is why I am there with them every session, not necessarily because they can not do it without me. In fact m y goal with ALL my clients is to educate them so that they don't need me to keep moving and reaching their goals. They know how to move safely and correctly.   This being said; I think if you have no movement experience then defiantly start with a personal trainer. If you are knowledgeable about the body and how it moves ,responds to movement and the mind
