Wellness, Recovery and Happy Joints

A few things I do everyday and are well worth the time and effort. Give them a shot and let me know how they work for you!

1. Foam rolling -



This alone can be the difference between a pain free run and aching legs - especially the IT Bands.

2. Joint mobility -



I hope you digged the funky beat.
Joint mobility is a must before all lifting for me.

3. Bands



No funky beat but great stuff to try.
Bands after I run are a leg saver and almost always help me recover in time for the next days run - they're great for prehab and rehab as well. I have upped my band work this week to help rehab a slight hip/lower back issue.

These three are essential to recovery, happy joints and over all well being. I do some Qi Gong and yoga (Sun Salutations) as well but actually consider these optional compared to the above three.

Hope this may provide some help and thanks for reading!
