That is what has been explained throughout the ages. &nbsp;This is something we understood as being the &ldquo;norm&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>When you analyze it however, the fitness enthusiast is increasing core body temperature, but is doing NOTHING to prepare the joints for action!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have they prepared their ankles joints laterally?<\/li>\n<li>Have they improved the mobility of their upper back (thoracic spine)?<\/li>\n<li>Have they improved blood flow to their shoulder joints?<\/li>\n<li>Are the knees ADEQUATELY prepared for the workout or task to come?<\/li>\n<li>Has there been an &ldquo;opening&rdquo; up of the hips?<\/li>\n<li>Have the glutes been &ldquo;activated&rdquo; or turned on?<\/li>\n<li>Have all the tight spots (which limit the joints) in muscles been addressed prior to the warm up?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The answer to ALL of these is a resounding NO!<\/p>\n<p>Most cardio equipment works in a very linear fashion: bikes, ellipticals, rowers, rope skipping, jogging on the spot, treadmills, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Every joint in the human body has some 3-dimensional component to it, even the knee.&nbsp; If they are not thoroughly prepared, the body will plow through the work, maintaining their status quo!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Foam roll and stretch your tight muscles<\/li>\n<li>Stretch your tightest muscles (they are tight for a reason!&#8230;they are overdoing it because something else is NOT working as it should)<\/li>\n<li>Activate or wake up your weak spots: Upper back, glutes, hamstrings are common weak areas<\/li>\n<li>Increase range of motion in the toughest joints in 3-dimensions: ankle, hip, upper back, shoulder joint are ones to work on<\/li>\n<li>Do 2-5 minutes worth of drills unrelated to the task at hand&#8230;example: running&#8212;&gt; jumping jacks and\/or deep squats with thoracic extension<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can clearly see if the 5 steps mentioned above are addressed, the exerciser will be prepared for the workout, whatever that may be!<\/p>\n<p>We hope this Tip of the Week was informative and helped you arm yourself with practical information you can use right away.<\/p>\n<p>We strive to provide excellent customer service so any recommendations or comments are most welcome!<\/p>\n<p>Come and book a session with us and we will show you why we are different!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our NEW JEANS challenge is on its way!
