Core Stabalization
Nicholas Hecht
(0:12)
My name is Nicholas Hecht. (0:13)
I’m the owner and operator of Evolve Fitness PHL. (0:16)
We’re located right in the heart of Old City, Philadelphia.(0:20)
We’re a functional fitness gym, a HIIT gym. (0:23)
We offer personalized training, different types of nutrition solutions. (0:26)
Our goal is to really just be able to help people be the best selves they can be in all aspects of health and fitness.(0:34)
And today we’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to work out with George Niang from the Philadelphia 76ers. (0:40)
He is mid-season right now, so I’m going to take it a little easy on him. (0:44)
But our focus is going to be a little bit of core stabilization, some overhead shoulder opening stuff, and then a little bit of leg strength just to keep the joints moving and keep them healthy.(1:04)
Are you walking distance from here?
Georges Niang
(1:06)
Yeah, probably like five minutes. (1:11)
It’s on the same street as B Well Fed.
Nicholas Hecht
(1:15)
Oh, so you’re like right around the corner?
Georges Niang
(1:16)
Yeah.
Nicholas Hecht
(1:18)
Slow it down a little bit. (1:20)
I want you to push the end. (1:21)
Don’t kill yourself in the beginning.(1:28)
There you go.
Georges Niang
(1:32)
Do you guys ride these a lot? (1:34)
300 watts? (1:34)
Yeah, for like conditioning.
Nicholas Hecht
(1:38)
Yeah, stay in that low 300 in that last 10. (1:41)
So 2, 1, ramp it up now. (1:47)
Pull it back a little.(1:51)
And coast. (1:58)
I know that blood flow is going to creep up, so just take it easy. (2:02)
Yeah.(2:07)
Does Ben make you hammer the bike a lot?
Georges Niang
(2:11)
Yeah, over longer periods of time, I would say, like 45 seconds. (2:18)
Yeah.
Nicholas Hecht
(2:18)
Building more aerobic capacity. (2:21)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. (2:22)
Quick bursts.
Georges Niang
(2:23)
Right. (2:25)
So we’ll start at like 45 on, 15 off, 30 on, 30 off. (2:31)
Then like five minutes of 15.(2:34)
15 on, 15 off. (2:36)
Yeah. (2:38)
This is actually tougher than I thought.
Nicholas Hecht
(2:40)
Well, it hits different. (2:41)
That little sprint.
Georges Niang
(2:42)
For sure.
Nicholas Hecht
(2:50)
Tail our back a little. (2:51)
Pull back, pull back, and coast. (2:54)
All right.(2:56)
Pop off. (2:59)
All right, ready, Dr. Taylor?
Georges Niang
(3:00)
Yeah.
Nicholas Hecht
(3:01)
I’m breathing. (3:02)
We’re going to go into a Turkish get up. (3:04)
Biggest thing for this, we’re going to start flat on our back.(3:07)
Same leg, same arm. (3:09)
So once you get down here, I want you to pack that shoulder down to the floor. (3:11)
We’re going to press it up.(3:12)
You can use both arms. (3:13)
Keep the core tight. (3:14)
This arm is going to be our jump starter.(3:15)
So you can swing it into the floor, press, get into that tall position. (3:19)
The arm is going to have to drift back a little bit as we work back through.
Georges Niang
(3:23)
And come back to it? (3:24)
Okay.
Nicholas Hecht
(3:24)
Five on each arm. (3:32)
Bring that arm across. (3:33)
Drive it into the ground.(3:35)
Reach up. (3:36)
Good. (3:36)
Work back down.(3:37)
Nice and easy. (3:42)
Good. (3:49)
Have you noticed this season, working out, any movements in particular that have impacted you differently?(3:55)
For the better or for the worse?
Georges Niang
(3:56)
I think, you know, opening up, you know, people focus a lot on their lower body. (4:03)
And switch. (4:04)
But I feel like opening up my back with kettle bells and different things.
Nicholas Hecht
(4:11)
More thoracic.
Georges Niang
(4:11)
Yeah, thoracic spine. (4:12)
Yeah. (4:13)
Has been real beneficial for me.(4:16)
Is that something new this season?
Nicholas Hecht
(4:18)
Yeah.
Georges Niang
(4:18)
I mean, I think with regular lifting programs, it’s pretty generic, right? (4:24)
Yeah. (4:24)
Where, you know, you can get kind of innovative with how people’s bodies work.(4:31)
And I think, you know, I was never a fan of using kettle bells. (4:34)
But now with like different ways you can grip them compared to dumbbells. (4:37)
Yeah.(4:38)
I feel like I do a better job of helping me open up my chest and my back.
Nicholas Hecht
(4:43)
Is mobility something you’ve worked a lot through? (4:46)
No, just recently.
Georges Niang
(4:47)
Just recently.
Nicholas Hecht
(4:48)
Band’s going to go on the ankles. (4:49)
Okay. (4:50)
We’re going to get down in a quarter squat position.(4:53)
Use this as a hip primer. (4:54)
So stay nice and low. (4:55)
Step, replace.(4:56)
Make sure you keep a strong base though the entire time. (4:58)
Like quarter steps down? (4:59)
Yeah, let’s face this way.(5:00)
Okay. (5:01)
So small steps. (5:03)
Drive out far through the hip.(5:04)
Press out. (5:05)
Step back. (5:06)
Good.(5:06)
We’re going to go 10 each direction. (5:08)
Four. (5:09)
Five.(5:10)
Six. (5:11)
Seven. (5:12)
Eight.(5:13)
Nine. (5:14)
Ten. (5:15)
And back.(5:16)
Feel that burn? (5:16)
Yep. (5:22)
Six.(5:23)
Seven. (5:24)
Eight. (5:25)
Nine.(5:25)
One more. (5:26)
Ten. (5:26)
Good.(5:27)
Kick it off. (5:29)
So we’re going to get those glutes warm. (5:30)
We’re just going to do a reverse lunge.(5:32)
Step back. (5:33)
Get that knee to the floor. (5:34)
Keep the chest as vertical as possible.(5:35)
Core tight. (5:36)
Step through.
Georges Niang
(5:37)
Okay.
Nicholas Hecht
(5:37)
Stay same leg though. (5:39)
Okay. (5:39)
So 10 on the right, 10 on the left.(5:41)
Drive to extension. (5:43)
Good. (5:51)
You think mobility has impacted you?
Georges Niang
(5:53)
Yeah.
Nicholas Hecht
(5:53)
Like early in your career?
Georges Niang
(5:55)
Yeah, I think when you’re just going in and you’re constantly, your muscles are tensed up. (6:00)
They’ve never like been able to really release. (6:03)
Yeah.(6:03)
And you keep doing the same exercises and pounding. (6:06)
And switch legs. (6:07)
I don’t think that really helped me be more like agile, because I feel like basketball is different than other sports where you want to have strength, but still like the openness in your muscles and body to be able to move and change direction.(6:22)
Need that range of motion. (6:23)
Yeah, exactly. (6:24)
That was the word I was looking for.
Nicholas Hecht
(6:38)
Ten. (6:38)
Good. (6:39)
Take a second.(6:39)
We’re going to go Turkish sit-up one more time. (6:41)
Start from the top.
Georges Niang
(6:50)
Do you notice that with like everyday people compared to athletes?
Nicholas Hecht
(6:54)
Yeah. (6:55)
I think I like to try and push that mobility as strength factor. (7:00)
Yeah.
Georges Niang
(7:01)
I’ll blend it into like one.
Nicholas Hecht
(7:02)
The more mobile you are, the better your positions. (7:04)
Yeah. (7:04)
The better your positions, you know, the stronger you can get.
Georges Niang
(7:09)
Yeah, if you can be mobile and strong, that’s scary.
Nicholas Hecht
(7:14)
So I think the more we can implement mobility a little bit into warm-ups, but mostly in cool-downs, and we can like put a big focus on that, just creates a little bit more longevity and health in athletes, but everyday people too. (7:31)
One more. (7:32)
Then switch.(7:36)
Go ahead, switch arms. (7:37)
Yeah.
Georges Niang
(7:47)
Do you do yoga or anything? (7:48)
I was big into yoga early on in my career. (7:54)
I haven’t really been able to get to it, but I am a big fan of like hot yoga, keeping my muscles warm and sweating.(8:02)
Yeah. (8:03)
Kind of. (8:04)
Allows you to get into a little bit of increased range of motion.(8:07)
Yeah. (8:08)
And it’s probably the only thing in life where I’m not battling someone else. (8:13)
I’m just battling myself.(8:15)
Kind of focus on calming your mind and just. (8:18)
Yeah, which is huge because I feel like as an athlete, you’re constantly, your mind’s like a ping pong game. (8:25)
Like just going back and forth of like, who am I competing with, how can I get better?(8:29)
Where this is just like, it’s you versus you.
Nicholas Hecht
(8:32)
Do you find yourself doing that a lot? (8:34)
Oh, all the time. (8:35)
Like every team you play, figuring out who it is.
Georges Niang
(8:37)
Yeah, I feel like I live by like the motto of like constantly stay paranoid. (8:40)
Like, you know, don’t let someone take your job. (8:43)
Wow.
Nicholas Hecht
(8:50)
You think there’s a player, throw me up back the other way. (8:53)
Anyone that you’ve played who’s always given you issues?
Georges Niang
(8:57)
I’m happy he’s on our team, but PJ Tucker for sure. (9:00)
He’s just so like physical but strong at the same time. (9:05)
So he’s just really, I’m happy he’s on our team.
Nicholas Hecht
(9:10)
Yeah.
Georges Niang
(9:10)
Because physical, strong, active guys aren’t easy to. (9:14)
Tough to cover and play against. (9:17)
Oh, lunges, right?
Nicholas Hecht
(9:29)
What about for you? (9:30)
You look for like a weakness in certain players that you can expose?
Georges Niang
(9:34)
Yeah. (9:34)
Guys that are more of athletes jumping around, springy. (9:40)
Because I’m naturally slow.(9:43)
So changing speeds at a slow pace and they’re just always trying to be fast. (9:48)
And switch. (9:48)
It’s kind of like my advantage.(9:50)
Yeah. (9:53)
Kind of using their speed to your. (9:54)
Yes, exactly.(9:56)
Where like you’re going too fast where I might go in a direction that I’m not really trying to go, but you cut me off and I can. (10:04)
Pivot, make a play. (10:05)
Yeah, maneuver around.
Nicholas Hecht
(10:10)
And last one. (10:12)
Yeah. (10:13)
All right, get some water.
Georges Niang
(10:14)
Let’s go, I’m warm. (10:15)
Get some water. (10:16)
I’m warm.
Nicholas Hecht
(10:19)
All right. (10:19)
All right. (10:20)
I’m going to start with some mixed grip carries.(10:23)
So first one, front rack here. (10:26)
Second one, we’re going to push into the overhead position. (10:28)
I want you to think about pinning the bicep towards your ear.(10:31)
But really think about packing down your midline and just locking in that stability there. (10:35)
And we’re going to walk. (10:37)
So let’s start from the line here.(10:41)
And we’ll go line to blue line and back. (10:44)
But again, take it slow.
Georges Niang
(10:46)
Think about just position. (10:46)
So I’m down. (10:47)
Down, turn around.
Nicholas Hecht
(10:49)
Same arm.
Georges Niang
(10:50)
Back and then we’ll switch.
Nicholas Hecht
(10:54)
Switch. (10:54)
Lock in the front. (10:55)
Again, core tight.(10:56)
Pack down the abs. (10:58)
Nice and controlled. (11:04)
Good.(11:04)
Turn around. (11:07)
Go back. (11:08)
Good.(11:12)
And switch. (11:13)
Now the same thing, nice and slow. (11:16)
Lock down the abs.(11:30)
Good. (11:31)
And bring them down. (11:31)
Relax.(11:32)
All right, we’re going to keep one of those. (11:34)
We’re going to go into a weighted step up. (11:37)
Biggest goal here is, again, we’re going to do it from a farmer’s position.(11:41)
So it’s going to want to manipulate your torso. (11:43)
I want you to think about keeping that packed. (11:45)
And then going into a step up.(11:47)
We’re still going to alternate the legs. (11:48)
So try to keep this stable as you drive through to extension. (11:52)
Control back down.(11:53)
And then we’re going to switch legs. (11:54)
But we’re going to do one arm, five on the other. (11:58)
So legs are going to alternate.(12:02)
Keep the midline still. (12:05)
Good. (12:16)
Good.(12:23)
One more. (12:24)
And we’ll switch legs. (12:26)
Or switch arms.(12:28)
Good. (12:29)
Switch sides. (12:43)
Three.(12:43)
Two more. (12:48)
Four. (12:49)
Good.(12:52)
Last one. (12:53)
Nice. (12:58)
What about outside of the gym?(13:00)
Is there any things that you’ve seen that have created or had a big impact? (13:06)
Like nutrition or anything in particular?
Georges Niang
(13:08)
I would definitely say diet is something that I never really paid attention to. (13:12)
But that is something that’s been key to me in, like, staying in shape and being able to play. (13:20)
The NBA season is 82 games.(13:22)
So being able to impact every opportunity that you can, whether that’s getting sleep or eating healthy, which eating healthy is so important for, like, inflammation and eating the right things and putting the right amount of carbs and protein in your body where, when I was younger, I could eat chicken fingers and fries and run all day.
Nicholas Hecht
(13:40)
Metabolism, burn it all.
Georges Niang
(13:41)
Those days are kind of over now.
Nicholas Hecht
(13:43)
All right. (13:44)
So top hand. (13:45)
Right hand’s coming to the pocket.(13:46)
And then we’re going to accelerate back to top. (13:48)
We’re going to go 10 each direction.
Georges Niang
(13:51)
Can I twist this opposite foot?
Nicholas Hecht
(13:53)
Yeah, a little bit, but try to move mostly through the midline. (13:56)
Okay. (13:59)
Good.(14:02)
Use that breath. (14:02)
Explode back. (14:04)
Good.(14:12)
Nice. (14:13)
One more. (14:16)
Good.(14:16)
Switch that top hand. (14:23)
There you go. (14:24)
Accelerate it back.(14:29)
There you go. (14:29)
Use that breath to your advantage. (14:30)
Come on.(14:31)
Explode out. (14:32)
There it is. (14:33)
It’s like you’re delivering a punch all through.(14:35)
Nice. (14:38)
Last one. (14:41)
Good.(14:45)
Do you ever try to use other sports? (14:47)
Have you done anything like boxing or anything like that that translates?
Georges Niang
(14:51)
Yeah, I have done boxing. (14:52)
Boxing has been a really good conditioning piece for me just for the simple fact that three minutes of constant cardio, and that’s kind of like the intervals you play basketball in. (15:04)
There’s a time where it’s up and down the court, and it’s a certain period of time where boxing, three minutes of you going as fast as you can, and then you get a minute break, and that’s kind of like the intervals that really help me rather than just getting out and running at a constant pace.
Nicholas Hecht
(15:21)
45 minutes, something like that. (15:26)
All right. (15:26)
Same thing.(15:31)
Lock it down again. (15:31)
Take it slow. (15:32)
Keep the core tight.(15:33)
Press that bicep up towards the ear. (15:36)
Midline stable. (15:37)
Good.(15:38)
Nice and slow. (15:39)
Don’t feel rushed here. (15:43)
Keep the bicep to the ear.(15:46)
Good. (15:46)
Slow turn around. (15:56)
Good.(15:57)
Then switch. (16:09)
Good. (16:10)
Try to get that arm back a little bit more.(16:12)
There it is. (16:14)
Open up that shoulder. (16:16)
Again, core tight.(16:17)
Nice. (16:24)
And relax. (16:24)
Nice.(16:29)
Same thing. (16:30)
Keep the shoulders squared. (16:31)
Make a balance in between.(16:45)
All right. (16:46)
When did you know basketball was the sport?
Georges Niang
(16:49)
You know, in middle school, it kind of became my whole life. (16:54)
I started realizing that I couldn’t play all the sports.
Nicholas Hecht
(16:58)
Were you playing multiple?
Georges Niang
(16:59)
I did soccer, hockey, baseball.
Nicholas Hecht
(17:03)
Were you tall?
Georges Niang
(17:06)
Yeah. (17:06)
I was always tall. (17:07)
I was always bigger than everybody else.(17:09)
So basketball was kind of like the thing that everybody recommended me to be. (17:16)
But when it really started to become serious, it was probably 9th or 10th grade where you realize you could go somewhere, college, whether it was Division I, II, or III. (17:28)
I think the biggest thing for me is like I’ve said before, is I never really looked too far ahead of like I want to play in the NBA while I was in high school.(17:36)
Like it was a dream, but it wasn’t something that I just sought out to do every time I was working out. (17:43)
It was more just I want to get to college and I want to be good in college. (17:47)
And then NBA kind of just took care of itself.(17:51)
But with that being said, there was a ton of sacrifice from a lot of people and myself that, you know, family vacations, parties, all that where you kind of have to, you know, give that up for a long time to be able to reach your goals, which a lot of people don’t see, but that’s what it kind of takes. (18:15)
Good.
Nicholas Hecht
(18:17)
Power through. (18:18)
Nice. (18:28)
Good.(18:35)
Good. (18:35)
Last one, be explosive. (18:37)
Punch through.(18:38)
Nice. (18:38)
Switch that top hand. (18:46)
Good.(18:57)
Good. (19:02)
More. (19:04)
Nice.(19:05)
Down. (19:08)
All right, take a sec. (19:09)
We’re going to do it one more time.(19:10)
Okay. (19:20)
Early on in your career, did you ever have to battle through any injuries or anything?
Georges Niang
(19:26)
I was pretty healthy. (19:28)
My rookie year, I had a sprain in my PCL when I was in the summer before I got cut. (19:36)
So it was almost like I got cut from my team and I was also injured, so I couldn’t really audition for what you call any other teams.(19:48)
And that was the most frustrating thing. (19:50)
I think sometimes people get sick of the game or whatever, but when you’re out with an injury because you can’t play, that’s something that makes you miss the sport, you know, even more. (20:03)
Creates a lot more motivation.(20:04)
Yeah. (20:05)
And like I said before, that was my motivating piece when I was on the fringe of like, I don’t want to blow another opportunity to live out my dreams and what I always wanted to do. (20:19)
Yeah.(20:30)
Stay upright. (20:32)
Yep. (20:32)
Shoulders squared.
Nicholas Hecht
(20:39)
Good. (20:42)
Get that full foot up there. (20:43)
Accelerate fast.(20:49)
Four. (20:52)
Last one here. (20:54)
Five.(20:55)
Switch legs. (21:01)
One. (21:06)
Two.(21:07)
Good. (21:12)
Three. (21:17)
Four.(21:18)
Good. (21:22)
Accelerate. (21:22)
Nice.(21:25)
Good. (21:25)
Elbow down. (21:32)
Alright, I know we’re getting tired.(21:33)
Last one here though. (21:34)
Yep. (21:34)
Accelerate hard through this.(21:37)
Arms straight. (21:38)
Put it in the pocket. (21:39)
Punch back fast.(21:42)
Two. (21:44)
Three. (21:45)
Good.(21:47)
Four. (21:51)
Six. (21:53)
Seven.(21:54)
Good. (21:54)
Keep that speed. (21:55)
Eight.(21:57)
Nine. (21:59)
Ten. (22:00)
Nice.(22:00)
Switch the top hand. (22:04)
Two.
Georges Niang
(22:07)
Three. (22:09)
Four.
Nicholas Hecht
(22:11)
Five. (22:13)
Six. (22:15)
Seven.(22:18)
Eight. (22:20)
Nine. (22:20)
Good.(22:22)
Ten. (22:22)
Oh yeah. (22:23)
Good job dude.(22:27)
Alright. (22:27)
Nice work.
Georges Niang
(22:28)
What do we got next? (22:29)
We’re going to do some cool down stretching. (22:30)
Alright.
Nicholas Hecht
(22:30)
Get some mobility in here. (22:40)
We’re going to go box supported pigeon. (22:42)
Alright, so use the whole surface of the box.(22:44)
Leg’s going to come up. (22:45)
Alright. (22:45)
Do your backs square off the hip.(22:47)
Yeah. (22:47)
Alright. (22:47)
Try to push it down.(22:48)
Can you feel that tightness? (22:50)
Yep. (22:50)
Kind of square it off into that like 90 degree angle.
Georges Niang
(22:52)
Okay.
Nicholas Hecht
(22:53)
So you’re going to feel it big time in that exterior hip and glute. (22:58)
There you go. (23:00)
If you can, slowly kind of forward fold into it.(23:03)
Sink into that stretch. (23:10)
We’re going to hang out here for about a minute. (23:26)
Is there any players in particular that you’ve always wanted to play with or never had the opportunity?(23:31)
Or your favorite player?
Georges Niang
(23:34)
You know, growing up I was like a huge Kevin Garnett fan. (23:37)
Allen Iverson. (23:40)
And I think, you know, when you get to this point, it’s not playing alongside.(23:45)
It’s, you know, kind of picking things out of their game that you really are impressed by. (23:51)
And those two I was just more impressed with. (23:53)
Like their mentality.(23:54)
Like I’m more fascinated with someone’s mentality and how they attack every day. (23:58)
Even like Kobe Bryant. (24:01)
You know, just like he was going to outwork someone no matter what you did.(24:05)
I remember him saying basically one time was like, I hope you gave up your life, you know, sacrificing to work hard to be good because I gave up mine. (24:14)
When you think about mentality and what you have to give up to be successful, that is, you know, something that’s at the forefront. (24:21)
He gave up everything so that he could be really good.(24:24)
At the game of basketball. (24:25)
And he’s the greatest of all time. (24:27)
And I think when you have that, nobody can take that away from you.(24:30)
Hard work is undefeated. (24:34)
And switch legs. (24:40)
You ever find it normal that like when people are doing mobility, one side is a little tighter than the other?
Nicholas Hecht
(24:46)
I’ve seen through the years more people sweat or probably people sweat more in mobility than in workouts. (24:55)
Yeah. (24:55)
And it’s pretty easy, pretty quick to tell whether they’ve stretched at any point in their life or have just never been exposed to it or have chose not to.(25:05)
Most people shy away from discomfort.
Georges Niang
(25:07)
Oh, 100%. (25:08)
But it makes me think if I was like 13, 14, 15, 16, if I had done mobility, what it would look like. (25:14)
Impact.(25:15)
Yeah. (25:16)
Because my muscles were probably tight for like seven years before I even thought about stretching, you know. (25:23)
And just the research and all that stuff of mobility where it’s gone.
Nicholas Hecht
(25:31)
Help keep your joints healthy, your body healthy.
Georges Niang
(25:34)
Yeah.
Nicholas Hecht
(25:35)
Add some extra years on to career.
Georges Niang
(25:39)
Play when you’re 40. (25:40)
Yeah. (25:40)
Like Tom Brady, baby.
Nicholas Hecht
(25:53)
Good. (26:02)
Do you feel like you typically have a tighter side?
Georges Niang
(26:05)
Yeah, I think my left side has always been a little tighter than my right side. (26:10)
Would that have anything to do with the injury? (26:12)
Yeah, I think, you know, I’ve had some foot injuries, some knee injuries on the left side.(26:17)
Yeah. (26:17)
I think I’ve probably overcompensated since.
Nicholas Hecht
(26:24)
All right, go ahead, slowly come out of it. (26:34)
Work a little bit thoracic opener for you. (26:38)
I’m going to put you against this wall.(26:43)
Same side, right? (26:44)
We’re going to distract the knee to the wall. (26:46)
So keep tension here.(26:47)
And the goal here is going to be to open the thoracic to the wall behind as far as you can, but the goal is to never touch the wall. (26:54)
You’re going to open up through the spine. (27:00)
Good, pin it.(27:01)
Chest up, swing the top arm first. (27:04)
Open up and reach. (27:08)
Good, pull it back through.(27:09)
Stay off the wall. (27:16)
Good. (27:22)
Very nice.(27:31)
Four, five, and flip. (27:42)
Good, big reach open. (27:53)
What’s your favorite restaurant in Philly?(27:57)
Is that a tough one?
Georges Niang
(27:59)
Saloon. (28:00)
Saloon?
Nicholas Hecht
(28:00)
Really? (28:01)
Yeah.
Georges Niang
(28:01)
Why Saloon? (28:02)
I just think they’ve just had unbelievable food. (28:06)
It has a good old school vibe to it.
Nicholas Hecht
(28:10)
Good ambiance. (28:11)
Is there a style of food that you would say is your favorite?
Georges Niang
(28:15)
Yeah, I mean, I would just say American style, but if I’m going to go Mexican food, I’d say El Vez.
Nicholas Hecht
(28:21)
El Vez, yeah. (28:21)
Okay. (28:25)
My family’s never missed a Taco Tuesday in the last 10 years.(28:28)
You, them, and me both. (28:30)
Heels about six inches off the wall. (28:31)
I want you to sit your butt to the wall, and then you’re just going to slowly slide straight down.(28:36)
All right, focus on keeping the legs nice and straight. (28:38)
My butt’s hitting the wall first? (28:41)
So reach the hips back, touch, keep the legs locked, and drop.(28:44)
Good. (28:45)
Just hold it and do it.
Georges Niang
(28:46)
Hang out here?
Nicholas Hecht
(28:47)
Yep. (28:52)
Those hamstrings loosen up a little bit. (29:03)
Do you find yourself to be a gamer or anything?(29:06)
Do you play video games?
Georges Niang
(29:07)
No, I’m not a really big video game guy. (29:11)
I don’t know, I just have never really gotten into it. (29:16)
It is a big thing in professional sports, though.(29:19)
A lot of people are super into video games.
Nicholas Hecht
(29:22)
How about TV? (29:23)
What’s been the go-to?
Georges Niang
(29:27)
I would have to say I’m a big entourage guy. (29:31)
I probably re-watched that show like three or four times. (29:36)
It’s like the OG, one of the best.
Nicholas Hecht
(29:40)
What now people would call old school? (29:43)
Yeah, Ozarks was a good one. (29:47)
Good, slowly come up out of that.
Georges Niang
(29:53)
Perfect, appreciate you. (29:54)
Great job, dude. (29:55)
That was awesome.(29:57)
What’s up, guys? (29:58)
Thanks for joining me today. (30:00)
I hope you enjoyed the workout.(30:02)
If I can leave you with one thing, just show up every day. (30:05)
No matter how hard it is, just show up every day.
