Are your hamstrings tight?

Tight hamstrings are one of the most common complaints we hear about from prospective clients, and while there are many options out there to help loosen the hamstrings, most ways of resolving the tightness only create short-term changes.

So what can you do about this? Are you destined to have to constantly stretch and roll your hamstrings out for the rest of forever? Or is there a more effective way to address the hamstring tightness that can actually create changes that are long lasting?

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are exploring.

We are diving into a simple process you can follow to not only help your hamstrings feel looser, but make sure your body is stronger and functions better overall.

Get Started With Muscle Activation Techniques® To Help Your Joints Stay Healthy & Strong: http://services.matschaumburg.com

There is one part of your body that will help your joints stay healthy, strong, mobile, and injury-free, and it is not the joints themselves…

Your muscles!

While many people are under the belief that a joint symptom means there is a joint issue and needs to be a joint solution, our experience has shown us that this is not the case at all.

In fact, over the last 13 years, we have seen 100% of people who have a joint issue also have corresponding muscle issue, and when the muscle issue improves, so does the joint issue.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are discussing why this is and the exact steps to take to make sure your muscles are working as well as they can so your joints stay feeling and functioning great.

Fitness assessments are all the rage at the turn of the year.

New Year’s Resolutions combined with a desire to document where you are starting from to track progress make many people susceptible to the hype of various assessments.

Whether it is as simple as a sit to stand test to as advanced as a VO2 max assessment, people of all fitness levels are looking to figure out how well their body can perform.

But, these fitness assessments may actually be doing more harm than good for your long-term health and consistency with exercise.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we explain why that is and what you need to focus on instead.

If you have any inkling to participate in some type of fitness assessment now or any time throughout the year, this is an episode you need to listen to.

While your motives may be pure, the act of doing the assessment can fundamentally shift how you view your workouts and the exercise choices you make going forward.

Are you active all day long, always on your feet and moving around, rarely sitting or taking time to rest?

While this kind of activity is great, it is not a replacement for more focused and intense workouts.

On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are going to break down the difference between being active and exercising, why you need to do both, and how to get both in consistently.

If you have ever thought, “I don’t need to workout today because I have been up and moving all day long,” this episode is for you!

We share how to determine if you are exercising versus just being active (you’ll be surprised to hear this…) and how to make sure you are doing both throughout your week.
