Welcome everyone...as athletes, our greatest threats in attaining peak performance is ourselves and injury. Avoiding or at least limiting injury is paramount. Far too many avoidable injuries plague athletes at all levels. No excuse to incur an injury during a warm up. Leading the way...foot, knee, shoulder, and in a few sports, head injury. Avoid what I term "body crash." The body is not a machine. Too many of us activate "push button" mindset. We devour wakeup pills, training pills, eating pills, go to bed pills. Under this premise, throughout "listen to your body." Pills screen out how your body feels and reacts. All in the name of performance, ain't gonna happen. Ever been tired even before your event? No matter what you read here, most of you will continue your habit. Forget the words, warm up. A singer warms up. PREP is the word and designed program. Stretching and motion in the pre event routine must compliment the motion of your event. Prep time should be 45-60 min. Break a sweat! Select and write out stretching and motion that fit your event. Injury, pain and rehab is no fun.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O
