The Importance of Mobility and Recovery
Ok, when it comes to our health, fitness, and results, the most critical aspects are following a good nutrition plan, working out consistently, drinking water, getting quality sleep, and supplementing where needed to support our lifestyle and goals.
Flexibility and mobility are essential pieces to an overall health and wellness plan, and most people “know” they should do it but often do not. That is until something happens, and they get injured.
So why do people neglect to spend time on stretching and mobility?
It is uncomfortable, it takes time, it is the “boring” side of fitness, but one of the biggest reasons is that people do not know what to do, how to start, and the real impact on their results.
Stretching the muscle will help lengthen it, preventing tightness and increasing your recovery time. When you are doing mobility work, you make the muscle more pliable, allowing it to withstand more strain.
Stretching and mobilization habits will help improve flexibility and mobility. It will help improve muscle function, increase power, improve performance, help prevent injury, and is critical in overall health.
Making it part of your lifestyle is the best way to make sure that you stick to it long term. If you fail at making stretching and mobility part of your active lifestyle, you most likely tried to take on too much at once. Maybe you would try to do 30 minutes a day or spend an hour a few times a week but would not stick to it. The problem was that it was too much of a change again soon.
Some mobility practices that you can start doing to improve your flexibility:
· Active and Static Stretching
· Self-Myofascial Release through Foam Rolling and Trigger Point Stretching
· Increase Blood Flow Using Massage guns and other tools
