Stretch It Out

I get lots of questions about different aches and pains and what type of stretching would be good to do for that particular part of the body that is hurting. I wanted to come up with some type of video that you could watch that might help you get through that particular ache or pain. I found a wonderful group of video's at the Runner's World website. They have an extensive video library. You may check out the section on injury prevention by clicking here. They also have videos for training, nutrition and weight loss, motivation and shoes and gear.

Another item that I love and use on a daily basis is my foam roller. I bought mine at RunOn in Coppell or you can get one at Target. They are awesome and are a wonderful way to roll out the pain of your back, hamstrings, glutes, quads or even your shins, IT bands and calf muscles. It is the closest thing to a deep tissue massage. They are wonderful and have gotten me through several leg work-outs when my back gets really bound up. Basically you just roll the muscle group that you want to massage over the foam roller. I would be happy to go over the use of the foam roller if you are interested.
