Example 1: Flexibility training has been so under used. I have seen patients in the hospital and people I know who do not put focus on stretching or movement in their daily lives. I believe is die to the fact that when we were younger our bodies were more fluid and we focused more on getting muscular, and not stretch the muscles to help relieve pain.Other times flexibility training is done before a workout which is great to help loosen the joints, and get the body all warmed up, but people mostly forget to stretch after their workouts which is just as important before a workout. The average total time a person focuses on stretching is about 15 to 20 minutes, and the holds on the static stretching is less than a minute on each limb. According to chapter 5, flexibility and stretching should be done at least three times per week for at least 20 minutes per session. As good as this might sound, it really depends on the individual. Even though it is recommended to stretch and work on flexibility three times per week, I practice and believe that stretch and flexibility training should be done everyday for at least 45 minutes to an hour. On should focus on static stretching, and mobility training which focuses on the joint movement, allowing blood flow to the areas that aren’t being used that often. One body part people forget to stretch and mobilize are the glutes and hips. These two muscles are important in supporting the lower back. Mobilizing the hips everyday will lead to a greater capacity of walking, sitting and movement all around. BMI is a number that is calculated from a persons weight, and height. BMI is also an alternative to measure body fat. BMI is sometimes seen differently, especially for athletes. BMI over 25 is considered overweight, but that can differ from a person who is physically active to a person who is sedentary. I don’t consider BMI into my lifestyle. I just watch how much food I consume, and I get in at least 30 minutes to an hour and a half of exercise.
