Running:People usually ask is Running bad for your knees and hips and the back.No it is not,provided you would know how to Run and keep yourself stronger to Run.Doing anything would be harmful if you think simply it would hurt your body.Your muscles are the ones which is going to hold your bones,so if you going to keep the muscles stronger that would support the bones well.So many other things also matters in Running like proper Shoes that you need to be wearing and the Surface you Run and all,and of course to do any sport either re-creationally or at elite level you need Strength to do it.You need to be fit enough to play any Sport rather than thinking that a Sport will make you fit. #activejoints #musclememory #painmanagement #injuryprevention

WHO ELSE WANTS TO REDUCE PAIN WHILE RUNNING? For runners, and particularly female athletes, there’s a reluctance to exercise and get ‘bulky’ … Not the DEADLIFT. There’s no better exercise to develop strength in your core and hamstrings to run stronger, faster, longer.The Deadlift …- Prevents knee pain- Helps your back by holding a solid running form- Strengthens your glutes + hamstrings to run faster- Makes you strong, not ‘bulky’You’ll need:- Dumbbells or Olympic BarSteps:- Stand with feet hip-width apart, hold dumbbells in each hand in front of thighs, palms facing in.- Engage core and pull shoulder blades down and back. - Keep your arms straight and send your hips back and bend knees slightly to lower dumbbells to the floor in front of your legs. - Lower until hips are fully pushed back and the weights are as close to the floor as possible.- Keeping your chest up, push through your feet to return to standing. Squeeze your glutes at the top.Reps:- 3 sets of 10 reps.Adding this deadlift exercise to your routine will improve your running form, reducing stiffness in your back, pain in your knees, and fatigue from slouching.Happy Running!Ben Rideout#iloverunning#blessed#mindset#mindsetiseverything#fitnesslife#happyrunning#runninglife#runningempowerment#runninglife#5K#10K#halfmarathon#marathon#halfmarathontraining#marathontraining

Why are resistance bands ideal for Seniors? You've seen me with my dumbbells, before in my previous post, but why resistance bands?I find dumbbells great for strength training - biceps, triceps, rowing etc.However, resistance bands offer numerous advantages over traditional weights, making them perfect for seniors (you realise I turned Octogenarian in 2023).Here's what I've found with resistance bands: #Safety First: Reduced risk of injury and joint strain.#Adaptable Workouts: Easily adjustable resistance levels.#User-Friendly: Lightweight, portable, and easy to store.#Cost-Effective: Affordable and versatile. My set cost around $10#Smooth and Controlled: Consistent and extended resistance.#Rehabilitation-Friendly: Ideal for recovery and maintaining mobility. #Keep fit and strong with ease.#Travel friendly. I pack them in my suitcase.If you're a senior or have parents who need to have equipment for exercise, you can't go past resistance bands for the job.Add other low-impact exercises, e.g., swimming, body-weight exercises, running on the spot, rope-jumping, and your parents or seniors will extend their physical, mental and spiritual selves.I'm doing it. So let's spread the word of good Health!#rhetoric #persuasion #communication #leadership #health

Sleds for AccelerationHere are two of my favourite options lighter load options for in the gym environment. These are great to reinforce nice projection with longer GCT. As a general rule for loaded sled work, if you're getting nice extension, striking the foot well, maintaining a good torso angle and having a good degree of lower shank stiffness, you're probably coaching a good sled push. You can take these broad areas of focus and apply them to your other sled prescriptions;1. Foot strike2. Torso angle 3. Local and/or global stiffness needed 4. ROM exploration or "Full movement expression" #speed #athlete #strengthandconditioning
