Hello and welcome everyone! Perhaps the greatest threat to our health is the lack of movement...as an athlete and competitor, my greatest fear is injury. Let's address avoidance and treatment of injuries. Most of us learn to live with some aches and pains..."bearable stuff." We can still train and compete at our best. Injuries that cause us to " break down" is serious business. The IMBALANCE of muscle is serious and can be the cause of the pain or injury we feel. Case in point...my chronic left hamstring and left groin pull...that was the result of the real problem. I have an imbalance of my muscle system and tight hip flexors. Daily, I need to massage my stomach muscles and exercise my hip flexors. Tightness in the stomach and chest muscles can cause other problems also. Wheezing can be the result of tightness and therefore not getting enough oxygen to the muscles. During hot humid days, we should be stretching more...not less. Humidity tends to constrict the muscles and we can lose as much as 30% of our strength. And that also applies to the oxygen needed. Why do you think there are more deaths in the summer during competition than at any other time of year. Why do you think your conditioning never improves. Finally, after a workout, you may want to apply tiger balm ultra or castor oil to relax muscle tightness. Also use a heating pad.
Have a great and meaningful life everyone! Jimmy O
