Coach Nicks Weekly : Regeneration

 
So, we’ve been going pretty hard in the gym the past few months and many of you have some aches and pains that may be keeping you from getting in the gym too often. For the ones who have just been getting back into it, I feel your pain. Keep pushing through! For those of you, who have been consistent and are just complaining about being sore, SUCK IT UP! Being sore means you pushed your body past another limit it hasn’t been to yet.

I have given you examples of the proper cardio style warm ups, the dynamic warm up, and post stretching. I cannot explain enough how important it is for you to complete these warm ups and stretches to help with being proactive with your flexibility and recovery. At Varsity House we like to call it REGENERATION training that we offer for our athletes once a week and also dedicate a whole week after our 8 week programs towards regeneration and recovery. The body is a well oiled machine and like a car it has to be serviced to maintain training at a high intensity week in and week out.

This blog is meant to not only to educate you in the importance of a regeneration training session needed in your workout but also a hands on demo on how to go about completing this type of training session. Being proactive with regeneration is better than having to be reactive with an injury and having to rehabilitate. The importance of these regeneration tips is to complete some of these things on your day off, a deload week, or before your workouts and not after you have been injured.

The exercises that will be a part of the Regeneration Video Tutorial are great for:
   -  Shoulder mobility
   -  Hip mobility
   -  Knee work
   -  Ankle mobility
   -  Traction techniques
