Flexibility
"We are born flexible, we need to stay flexible." Flexibility training is an essential component of a wellness lifestyle. Increased flexibility enables us to move more freely and avoid injuries related to excessive muscle tension. It is the ability to move joints through their full range of motion without causing excessive muscle tension. Many people lack this apparently simple ability, mainly because they force their bodies to maintain unnatural positions like sitting and driving for very long periods of time.
Benefits of Flexibility
The benefits of increased flexibility are essential to active ageing, to improve posture and to lead a full and satisfying personal and professional lifestyle.
Core muscle shortening is one of the main causes of back pain, especially due to bad posture and non-physiological positions, like sitting, standing still and driving. Stretching of the core muscle groups eventually associated with the prescription of strength conditioning can prevent and restore most of these problems.
"Live fully, Move fully."
Jan's Gym offers "FLEX ability", an innovative line of equipment developed by Techno Gym that offers a unique way to stretch more muscles in less time. For more information call 481-1915.
