Dynamic Stretching

Tricia Sanders

Hi guys, it’s Tricia here with Live Free Massage, and today I want to talk to you about dynamic
stretching versus static stretching. So before we workout we usually do something called
static stretching – like this picture shows. Now what that does is, it will usually increase your
flexibility, which is good, but at the same time it relaxes your muscles, which we don’t want
when we’re about to workout and we want our muscles to perform. Instead, try something
called dynamic stretching. It includes active movement, but at the same time increasing your
range of motion. It’ll warm up the muscles, activate and fire up your muscles and get them
ready to perform, and at the same time increasing range of motion and flexibility to reduce
injury. So, before you workout next time, take two minutes and try one of these dynamic
stretching routines. I’ll see you next time.

Foam Roller

Hi guys, it’s Tricia with Live Free Massage and today I want to talk to you about how to get
the most out of your foam roller. So there’s many benefits to foam rolling like increased
flexibility, circulation, and reducing soreness after a workout, but today I want to show you
how to effectively release those troubled spots and reduce those tight muscles. So let’s get
started.
Tip number one: When you feel a specific spot that’s tender – stop, and let the roller sink in.
Don’t keep rolling quickly across it, because that could cause the muscle to guard and
contract, which we don’t want. Instead, be patient and hold it there.
Tip number two: If you’re having a hard time releasing a tender spot, you can make little
movements at the joint to help it release quicker.
Tip number three: When you’re working a muscle that feels extra tight, you wanna go slowly
through the muscle. The slower you go, the deeper the roller will sink.
