flexibility

Avatar f tn Static stretching before a workout good. What it does is force the target muscle to relax, it makes it weaker. The result, is a strength imbalance that can occur between opposing muscle groups. An example is stretching your hamstrings causes them to become weaker than your quadriceps. And that could make you more prone to muscle strains, pulls, and tears.
Avatar f tn Research has shown that stretching can inhibit your performance and doesn't reduce your risk of injury. One study performed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill showed that subjects who performed dynamic warm-ups had higher performance in the vertical jump test than those who just did standard stretching.
Avatar n tn Stretching the front and back or your leg to increase the flexibility in your knee. Perform stretching exercises at the end of your workout when your muscles are warm. Stretch the front of your leg in a standing position by bending your knee and raising your foot up toward your backside. Grasp the ankle with your hand to enhance the stretch. Stretch the back of your legs in a seated position with your legs extended on the floor. Fold forward over your straight legs to stretch your hamstrings.
Avatar f tn I am trying to find a workout video to help keep my strength and mobility. I have tried a yoga class. Did not do so well at it and personally didn't care for it. Any suggestions? Thank You.
Avatar n tn Does anyone know of gentle exercises to get my stamina up? I have bad knees, and rheumatoid arthritis in my back so I'm not super flexible. Want to get extra weight off to help improve health...
Avatar f tn Finally, using good shoes (ideally compensating for individual foot differences) is important. The shin can be trained for greater static and dynamic flexibility through adaptation, which will diminish the contracting reflex, and allow the muscles to handle the rapid stretch. The key to this is to stretch the shins regularly. However, static stretching might not be enough. To adapt a muscle to rapid, eccentric contraction, it has to acquire greater dynamic flexibility as well.

Avatar f tn Take food items that strengthen your body, stretching and flexibility exercises are good for the purpose.
Avatar n tn My 16 yr old son had a stent placed via catherter in his descending aorta to fix a coartation (restriction). He has also been diagnosed with a "mildly" dilated ascending aorta and bicuspid aortic valve (with a "trivial" gradient). His blood pressure is being treated with drugs and is now down to the high-side of normal. One month after the stent procedure, he had a cardiac and head MRI which found nothing unusual.
20911706 tn?1629515701 What Is Calisthenics? Purpose and Exercises Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses body weight to improve endurance, flexibility, coordination, and strength.

Avatar n tn d be sent to physical or occupational therapy to work on it, which is where you go to learn from people with actual training what exercises might help. But without a diagnosis, that's hard to do, as you wouldn't know what is causing the wrist to hurt in the first place. The easiest thing to try is to stop doing those push-ups, and rest, elevate, and ice the wrist and see if in a couple of weeks it isn't better.
10514421 tn?1412442873 I haven't had much to do lately,so I'm considering going to the gym three times a week.I've been thinking of working on my glutes,because I think my butt needs to be lifted more.I already have a routine(from a Jenna Phillips Youtube video)and schedule planned out.I want to lift my butt,but I don't want it to be very firm,or firm enough to lose its "movement".Would doing exercises cause firmness?
6896476 tn?1386858324 hi, what exercises can you recommend for me to lose my fat around my thighs without gaining muscles on it and achieving a thigh gap? my thighs is around 22-24 inches each leg.
Avatar f tn A proper warmup helps to loosen stiff muscles and get your blood flowing. To get your body ready for the exercises that lie ahead, do some brisk walking or other light activity that doesn't hurt your knees until you break a sweat. Then, perform some static stretches to loosen the muscles and ligaments before you begin. Take 10 to 15 minutes to thoroughly warm up your body, or follow a specific routine as set down by your physical therapist, if you have one.
Avatar m tn s getting to the point that I literally cannot miss a single training session. If I do the pain starts coming. It then only starts to go away after two or three training sessions. More info about the pain: It hurts when I look down, and it restricts my flexibility (it hurts to much to touch my toes). When it hurts I constantly move around because it relieves the pain (kind of like when you have to urinate) The pain feels almost like the growth pains that I use to get in my legs as a child.
Avatar m tn They develop individualized training programs incorporating strength and conditioning exercises, flexibility drills, plyometrics, and sport-specific skills training to enhance athletic performance while minimizing the risk of injuries.
Avatar f tn s say my water breaks in March.
Avatar f tn I would recommend doing a full body weight training at lease 3 to 4 days a week with cardiovascular training at the beginning or end to maximize your training. The reason that I say that is because wieght training will have a lasting calorie burn 36-42 HOURS while cardio just 2 hours. This is why you must use weights. Now your backside, different story. I would recommend that you would start with lighter sets until your body gets accustom.

Avatar f tn I want to get a nice tone back for the summer any tips and good exercises are needed
1163968 tn?1263772789 perhaps you could allow the user to populate (just use vars instead of static in your db query) which exercises are listed in the weight tracker, yeah? A bit more personalized and useful to the individual.
Avatar f tn Two- three body strength training routines per week will help build lean muscle mass and rev up your metabolism. That should include stomach exercises, like crunches, reverse crunches, planks. Google stomach exercises to see how they are performed.
Avatar m tn I have been doing lots of stretching and strength exercises such as lunges, squats, abs (lots of different abs exercises), back, hamstrings (when you're on your knees and slowly drop down, I'm even strong enough to get back up), push ups and pull ups recently, calves, and more I just can't think of.
