Healing

Welcome everyone...the adult body pumps 7,500 liters (1,500-2,000) gallons of blood daily. An adult contains about five qts. of blood and continually circulates throughout the body. Average heart beats 72x per min. called heart rate. I realize you already know this but, it's a good reminder. Adequate blood flow heals. That's one of the  reasons one should move those muscles...a warm up is critical. A friend of mine, a physical therapist, says "you should work up a sweat in your warm up." In rehab, even when applying cold packs, slowly work the muscles for blood flow and healing faster. Lite stretching. For us sprinters, popping a ham string comes with the territory. Through warm up is a good preventative. We need to value our health...let's not take it for granted. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com
