The question we alllll have asked ourselves: “How do I make sure I don’t get injured?” Well, we can’t know when it will BUT we can learn and apply techniques in our routines to make these unhappy circumstances LESS likely to happen! This week, we get to learn from exercise physiologist, Jennifer Schwartz, how to take better care of our bodies in the form of active recovery, sleep, hydration, flexibility, injury prevention and injury management techniques and more! Hope you brought your notebook ‘cause you’ll certainly need it!
