Get them to finally train the right way this summer!"},"content":{"rendered":"

There are A LOT of expectations on children nowadays to get into some form of dry land training which is supposed to help them improve their sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

While they may surely improve, we have seen time and time again the advent of overuse injuries because the patterns are being RECREATED during their dry land sessions or the excesses in question do not apply to the sport.<\/p>\n

For instance:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Did you know that ALL major strokes in swimming involve internal rotation of the shoulder? \u00a0What do we usually see kids do? TONS of planks and push ups in order to strengthen themselves (in the SAME position they are using daily)!<\/li>\n
  2. If an activity requires reaction time and speed, why would someone go for a long distance run? (running is great but ask yourself if this will help make the child better at prevent injuries and their sport)? \u00a0How about some dodgeball for reaction time, speed, agility, timing, and cardio?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the things that baffles my mind is that in most fitness books there is little mention on creating a better balance when exercising.\u00a0 There will be some great content but more often than not, balance through CORRECTIVE exercise is not fully addressed.<\/p>\n

    We have mentioned it in our fitness tips before.<\/p>\n

    \u201cStretch what is tight, strengthen what is weak, in that order\u201d and you will achieve a better and balanced body.<\/p>\n

    Here are 2 examples and how you can see and feel the difference:<\/p>\n

    EXAMPLE #1:<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sit up tall on your chair while reading this and cross one ankle over the other knee and bow forward from the waist.\u00a0 Hold it for 5 seconds.<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now repeat the same movement with the opposite ankle.\u00a0 Hold it for 5 seconds.<\/p>\n

    You should notice a difference in how one side feels tighter than the other.\u00a0 If this is the case, stretch the side that is tighter—your body is TELLING you to!\u00a0 Now imagine running or exercising with one hip tighter than other!\u00a0 Something is BOUND to happen!<\/p>\n

    EXAMPLE #2:<\/p>\n

    –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sit up tall, cross your arms across your chest with elbows pointing forward.\u00a0 Turn your torso in one direction then the other.<\/p>\n

    One side may feel tighter than the other.<\/p>\n

    If it is, guess what you need to do?\u00a0 Yes! Stretch that tighter side.\u00a0 Now imagine golfing or playing tennis with one side of your body not rotating as efficiently as the other!<\/p>\n

    Therefore, PLEASE take the time to \u201cstretch what is tight, and strengthen what is weak\u00a0\u00bb in that order!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
