Are you functional training?
Are your workouts designed to be practical and useful in real life or your specific sport?
Start with some correctives and dynamic warm up – my go to at the moment are wall slides, worlds greatest stretch, cat cow, bird dog, side lying t spine rotations and kneeling lat stretch – Working on my shoulder mobility and I carry a lot of tension on my traps so these feel good.
Dynamic warm up: straight leg marches, butt kicks, reverse lunges, inchworms and lateral shuffle
Balance out your pushes and pulls- For every push make sure you do 2 pulls.
Make sure you do some single leg work as well.
Recovery – This might be the most important part of your workout program at the moment. You need adequate rest and it’s so important that you find coping mechanism that help you reduce your stress level. I’ve been doing some mediation exercises before bed and some yoga. A lot of deep breathing.
🔑- stay consistent
There is so much more that goes into exercise programming like program type, variability, progressions, regressions due to limitation etc. These are just some basics to think about. Do your research!
Your Regeneration is sooo important! I used to love to hate this part BUT this pandemic made my love for regeneration grow and I value it so much more now. Take care of your body and mental state.
