Static Stretching -Is it beneficial??

/in /by

Hello  Everyone!!

I’d like to thank my new friend Dan O’Connor for this link on static stretching.

There was no difference between the 2 study groups with respect to rate of injury.  It was quite an extensive study.

With respect to warm ups, I have been using Joe DeFranco’s and Jim Smith’s AMPED warm ups lately and I have really enjoyed them.  They are dynamic and different and I feel a lot better heading into my workouts and they have great routines for off days that seem to speed recovery.  It is about the same cost as a personal training session.  A good investment for yourself or any of the athletes and clients that you may work with.

Cheers,

Coach G

PS – Now that we are pretty settled in our new place I hope to be back at this on a more regular basis sharing different health and wellness ideas.
