Just Start / "Walk Slowly - But Never Backwards"

Remember back in high school or college when you’d have to write a paper for an assignment? Even if it was just 500 words, starting the paper was always the hardest. I’m not alone in that feeling, right?
It’s interesting, because the same issue is often felt with any intimidating or daunting task we need or want to pursue in life.

But when it comes to ACTION, we generally falter after a few good college tries. This is the difference between motion and action.
Motions are strategizing, planning, and learning. And at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how much you do any of those things - they don’t produce results. Action on the other hand is what delivers an outcome.

Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!
Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!

“Does a Lion warm up before it chases down a Gazelle?!”

No, it doesn’t. But you’re not a Lion. You’re a middle aged corporate worker who just sat on their butt for the last 8-10 hours and now you’re going to do a complete 180 and go be an athlete.

Yeah, it’s a good idea to do a quick, targeted, warm up!

A good running warm up is always important to make sure that your body is primed for the workload you’ll be placing on it. Warm ups aren’t just stretching. They include actively prepping the muscles and tissues that will be worked according to the exercise you’re about to embark upon. For running, this should include exercises which get the feet, knees, glutes, and low back ready.

Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints
Mobility Vs Flexibility- A Never-Ending Battle Within Our Joints

Mobility is the ability of a joint to travel in its full range of motion (ROM) without any constraints or pains. It is all about how well you can control your joint through the necessary ROMs. Having good mobility is important to maintain pain-free, unimpeded, fluid, and independent movement.

Flexibility, on the other hand, is the ability of a muscle to fully lengthen. We have talked about different types of flexibility before and ways to increase your muscle’s length. It is important to have good flexibility in order to unlock the full ROM a joint complex has and utilize it to generate explosiveness by full muscle contraction.
