Is a nagging injury preventing you from working out?

Injuries are painful and have potential to set you back weeks or months from your workout goals. It is important to communicate to your trainer the aches and pains associated with your body. It typically does no good to be quiet about these situations. In order to get your body back healthy your trainer will make the proper modifications to your workout.

THE8BLOCK FITNESS STUDIO TRAINERS HAVE THE CREATIVITY TO PROVIDE CLIENTS WITH A VARIETY OF WORKOUTS AND NEEDED MODIFICATIONS. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU ARE NEVER REPEATING THE SAME MUSCLE MOVEMENTS. REPEATING THE SAME MUSCLES CAN LEAD TO OVERUSE AND REPETITIVE-USE INJURY. THE STUDIO ALSO SPECIALIZES IN SMALL GROUP FITNESS ALLOWING CLIENTS TO GET INDIVIDUALIZED COACHING. WORKING OUT IN A SMALL GROUP ALLOWS THE PERSONAL TRAINER TO OFFER CORRECTIONS AND APPROPRIATE MODIFICATIONS. THIS CLOSE-KNIT TRAINING ALLOWS YOU TO SPEND MORE TIME FOCUSING ON FORM TO DECREASE YOUR RISK OF INJURY AS WELL AS SET AND REACH PERSONAL GOALS. ​

​Along with training properly, stretching is one of the most important things you can do to protect your body. When you are more flexible your muscles, ligament and tendons don’t have to work as hard, which allows you to run and move more easily. Flexibility is your ability to move through a full range of motion; This is an important aspect in remaining injury-free. ​STRETCHING HELPS TO WARM UP THE MUSCLE TISSUES BY INCREASING BLOOD FLOW AND OXYGEN WHICH MAKES MUSCLES MORE RECEPTIVE TO BEING ELONGATED.
​However, this is only the case when stretching is done correctly! There are two different types of stretching: Ballistic and Static. Ballistic stretching, bouncy/jerky movements, should be avoided. This type of stretching may increase the amount of tension on your muscles, possibly resulting in a strain. On the other hand, Static stretching is the most safe and effective method. Gradually stretching to a point of mild discomfort without pain, is most optimal. The right way is to do so comfortably, gently and consistently. It is very important to stretch BEFORE and AFTER exercise! The body has over 500 muscles, so one might ask “Which should I concentrate on?” This depends on the exercises you are participating in.

In addition to properly working out and stretching, your body needs vitamins and minerals to achieve optimal function, promote healing and minimize inflammation. Nutritional supplements are often overlooked but is a key to optimal body function. The8Block fitness studio partners with Previnex, a nutritional supplement company that seeks to change healthcare through prevention, to introduce the highest quality of supplements to their clients.
