Show Notes
This is a solo podcast today on a few questions I have been asked my opinion on over the last few weeks. It should be fun!
- Why can't we get grandma to exercise? Age related corrections or suggestions for rehab and exercise.
- Strength and Conditioning guidelines for youth athletes. How much is too much? The ACSM stance
- What is an injury vs. pain?
- How long should a warm up take and what should it entail?
From a Sports Medicine point-of-view, warming up will take as long as it needs to. There is not set time, but a well designed warm up should take around 15-45 minutes. Warming up before lifting should address the following:
- Getting the blood moving
- Preparation of movement
- Stabilization of the feet, knees, back, and shoulder girdle
- Mobilization of the ankles, hips, thoracic spine, glenohumeral joints and the neck
