Injury prevention proper warm up stretching exercises

[tyciol]

Very good observation about warmup, we do too much static and not enough dynamic stretch and warmup is just general heart rate and not specific.

Oh and accessive>excessive might want to note in info

Boris, you truly are a master of your profession. Thank you for being kind enough to share your knowledge with all of us. You said you were previously an athlete yourself....may I ask what sport(s) you played? I play ice hockey and was wondering if you would recommend any specific warmup exercises for that?

so... would you recommend stretching and a warm up before going for a jog? let's say a 6 mile jog...

Dear sarcastic456. absolutely. if you're looking for longevity in the sports activities you must spend 20 minutes at least for warmup routine and post isometric relaxation- stretching. for more information view my" muscle resting tone" youtube clip.

Best wishes.

Hi Boris, I would like to know what kind of excercises you recommend for bodyworkers for warming of the hands, arms and fingers in order to avoid injuries during work.

Thank you !!

Dear gaiapatagonia,

You have asked a very important and in many cases crucial question. A proper warm up not only will help you to prevent, sometimes, devastating sports related injuries, but also will contribute to better performances as well as muscle mass growth. A warm up routine should contain self post isometric stretching technique (stretching alone is by far not enough and sometimes can cause more harm than good).

[mgaft1]

Dynamic exercise, which is neuromuscular re-education, that caused all groups of muscle to work in assembly, prevents harmful compensatory movement. In my DVD #7 I propose all these routines in fine details by explaining and demonstrating. As to bodybuilder who I am assuming work very hard, I highly recommend to purchase the set of all 7 DVds and to use proposed self- massage technique in order to eliminate side-effects of vigorous workouts.

Best Wishes,

Boris

Dear cazabier777,

You are right on with your question. Boris indeed used to be a therapist for Russian Olympic team.
