Whether you’re running a marathon or simply going for a walk or jog around the block, at AAPT we recommend essential steps before you hit the trail or pavement to activate your muscles, preventing injury and priming your body for better performance.
Here are just a few ways to reset your body before you get started.
Rolling
Rolling out helps loosen your muscles before you start moving. Targeting the areas that you’ll use the most on your run or walk. Starting with your hips, back and legs, specifically your calves, hamstrings, glutes, and quads.
Taking a few minutes to roll out can save you plenty of damage control in the future. Skipping a pre-run rollout can make a substantial difference in injury prevention.
