How to Achieve the Perfect Posture at Work

"Perfect" Posture Many of us have desk jobs, keeping us seated for the majority of the day. It can be hard to keep that perfect upright position for 8 hours straight so it is common for our posture to get worse as the day goes on. But what if we told you that you should not hold that position all day? Plot twist, the perfect posture does not exist! Trying to hold that same upright position all day keeps your muscles engaged and causes them to tire out. This can bring on back, neck and shoulder pain. So give your muscles [...]

Static Stretch vs Dynamic Stretch

The proper way to stretch for warm up and cool down When we do any kind of physical activity, it is important to take the time to warm up before and cool down after. Many grew up learning that they should stretch to achieve this, more specifically static stretch. This is where you move a joint as far as it can go and hold it for a few seconds. It feels great, but it is actually not the best thing to do before engaging in physical activity. You actually want to perform dynamic stretches. Dynamic Stretching A dynamic stretch is when [...]

Learn to Run: Foot Strike Pattern

Foot Strike Pattern Foot strike pattern is exactly how it sounds: where on your foot you land when you run. You may have heard that it is more efficient to run on your toes. But is this really the case? The short answer to the question is no, the long answer is that it is very person-dependent and there are more important factors than just what part of your foot hits the ground first.

Learn-to-Run: Rating Of Perceived Exertion

Rating of Perceived Exertion I didn't know what rating of perceived exertion was when I began running, and I wish I had. Whenever I attempted to try running previously, my biggest struggle about it was that that as soon as I start running, I got out of breath very quickly and was unable to continue for very long.
