The Best Foam Roller Stretches for Each Area of Your Body
If you workout often, you are probably not a stranger to knots. Knots and soreness can be downright painful. Answer to the pain - foam roller stretches! Foam rolling helps release muscle tension by making the top layers of tissues more flexible. It's a very inexpensive way to help alleviate pain as well as break down some of those trigger spots.
Best Exercises for Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is the absolute worst! Sometimes it’s muscular and sometimes it’s structural. Something important to keep in mind is that your lower back is connected to what feels like your whole body. People deal with different struggles depending on their body anatomy, injuries, etc. There are so many different exercises that can help release the tension and pain in your lower back. Some of these exercises and stretches have made a tremendous difference for me. I want to share them with you!
All about that STRETCH
Stretching keeps your muscles flexible, strong, and healthy. We need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.
Reaching a plateau in your fitness journey is a common experience, but it's also a call to action to refine your strategy for continued progress. Integrating higher protein intake, focused strength training, and the principle of progressive overload into your routine can significantly impact your ability to move past stagnation. Our fitness classes are specifically designed to adapt to your evolving fitness needs, ensuring that you're always challenged and never plateau for long.
