]]> It’s important to stretch your muscles everyday and listen to your body when working out. Our hamstrings are one of those areas that need stretching daily. Hamstrings extend from your glutes to your knees and can cause a lot of problems if you were to pull one. “The hamstrings cross and act on two joints, contributing to both hip extension and knee flexion,” explains Trevor Thieme, C.S.C.S., Fitness and Nutrition Content Manager for Beachbody. “That makes them essential for athletic movement, but it also increases their susceptibility to injury.” If you haven’t been stretching those hamstrings, the following article is a great resource for you. Start building up your strength and flexibility with these 10 hamstring exercises.

]]> Whether you are a runner or just starting out, there are a few things you should know about running and injuries related to running. “Your best bet for [injury] prevention is staying in good shape,” says Justin McCoy, DO, a specialist in sports medicine at SCL Health Medical Group – Rocky Mountain Orthopedics in Grand Junction, CO. “It means being well-rounded in your athleticism and making sure that your muscles, particularly your core and glutes, are in good shape,” McCoy adds. So it’s important to stretch those muscles before running and keeping a routine or following a program. Check out the link for the 6 most common running injuries… if you notice any of these symptoms you might want to talk to your doctor or a therapist.

]]> So you get sick or busy or life gets ahold of you an you just need a day or two to rest… THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US ALL!!! What do we do after we are ready to come back??? Do we start the week over, do we start the program from Day 1, do we double up on our missed workouts… NO YOU START WHERE YOU LEFT OFF!!! It is ok that your program goes 91 days, 65 days, or 39 days! WE ARE NOT PERFECT and life may get in the way! We all get sick and we all have days where we barely have time to go to the bathroom… IT IS OK to take a day to rest!

When you are sick or have a pounding headache and try to workout through the pain… You are only going to injure yourself more… your immune system is not 100% and is telling you you need to slow down… SO LISTEN! When you workout through illnesses or pain your body will never recover and you are only going to get sicker or injure yourself worse!

 

 

You never want to take the chances with any cold or injury so make sure you consult a doctor before going back to your workout regime! Also anytime you are sick you should check to see what your doctors says or feels you should do! I personally thought I just had a neck pain and it turns out I have Neck subluxation and cannot workout intensely for the next 12 weeks.. bummer YES, but if I would have not gone to the doctor, I would have never known that I would be off for that long! SO CHECK WITH A PROFESSIONAL!

 

Once you are cleared to workout, PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF!!! Each Beachbody Program is designed the way it is for the BEST possible results! So if you take too much time off, yes restart it! This is just my advice and recommendations!!! I hope this helps you in the future =)
