Welcome to Wellness Wednesday!

This week we will discuss the importance of sleep and how it can affect your recovery.

During sleep, growth hormones are released which can help repair damaged muscle cells. This is important because although you may not have "an injury or muscle strain," you are damaging your muscle cells over time by consistently working out as that is how we gain "muscle and strength."

This one may seem obvious, but not getting enough sleep directly affects our mood and fatigue levels. You will not perform well at a big athletic event (race, triathlon, etc.) if we do not get a good night's rest the day before.

Related to performance, sleep affects our reaction time and hand-eye coordination. Those involved in contact sports this will be very important.

Lastly, sleep affects our immune and endocrine responses. Immune support is important in fighting off viruses and infections. Our endocrine system is our body's chemical messaging system that controls body functions and hormone release into the bloodstream.

So ask yourself…are you getting enough sleep?

It's Myo-Monday!

Mondays will focus on basic strength training of certain muscle groups every other week.

This week we will focus on the hamstrings. If you try these exercises and pain continues or gets worse, come see us so we can provide an evaluation We exist to keep you moving and pain-free!

1) Lying HS curl- Lying on your stomach with an ankle weight, bring your heel to your glute and slowly bring your foot back to the ground. Perform 2x10 on each side.

3) Romanian dead lifts (RDLs) - Perform standing with dumbbells or a barbell in hands. Slowly bend down, sticking your glutes out with a slight bend of the knees.

(Tip: use a small PVC pipe to hold and guide yourself slowly down if you are struggling with keeping form) Perform 2x10.
