1. Mobility
and Flexibility Training - getting the proper amount of
movement to keep your joints mobile and pain free, and your muscles
from getting stiff. Specific
movements and stretches are in order.
2. Fitness,
Fat Loss and Strength-
staying fit, keeping your weight under control, and proper strength
training. Resistance training (strength) is necessary to keep
your metabolism elevated, build strong bones, and protect your joints.
It's also the best way to burn fat! You don't have
to spend
hours on the treadmill or doing aerobics classes to lose fat.
3. Pain
Management and Injury Prevention
- whether you currently have problems or want to prevent them from
coming back, proper movement, strengthening and soft tissue therapy is
needed.
Whole body vibration platforms, such as the
Powerplate, can help manage pain, improve balance and increase bone
mass while releasing endorphins. This can also increase the levels of
positive hormones in your body, while decreasing negative hormones,
such as cortisol.
Whether
its home fat loss workouts, flat abs, movement training, or helping
manage and prevent injuries, you can find it here. If justd regaining your mobility should
be a priority.
My philosophy on movement can be summed up in the
words of the 14th Century physician Tissot, "movement as such may take
the place of many remedies, but all the remedies together can never
take the place of the effect of movement."
Our bodies were
designed for movement and many of our physical problems are movement
related - not enough of some movements and too much of others (overuse
injuries).
