Did you know that massage can help to aid the recovery of muscles after exercise?

Enduro BLOG! FOOD! By host on 11/5/2007 7:31 PM
When most people think of protein, they usually conjure up and image of a hulky body builder eating a whole chicken and washing it down with 6 raw egg-whites. Well you would not be wrong. Egg-whites and lean meats are excellent sources of protein, obviously in amounts that your body can readily use for normal activities. Proteins are essential to your food intake to ensure that your muscles are repaired after any activities, and to assist with general cell turnover. How much should i be eating?

DOES STRETCHING BEFORE EXERCISE IMPROVE MY FLEXIBILITY? By Mike Eyers
Enduro BLOG! GET FIT! By host on 11/5/2007 7:19 PM
The amount of times I see people getting ready to run or start an exercise session by stretching leads me to believe that there is a need for education on stretching techniques. Does stretching before I train help with my performance and increase my flexibility? The quick answer to this is no! To better explain this I use plasticine as an example. Take a roll of plasticine out of the refrigerator and try to stretch it out. Chances are it will soon tear apart. If I were to roll it in my hands for 5 minutes and then attempt to stretch it out, it will stretch a lot more before eventually tearing. This is a result of warming the plasticine up enough to make it stretch easier.

Exercise will no doubt warm you up, but are you warmed up enough to exercise? You may feel warm on the outside, but it is the core of the muscle that counts. Injuries such as strains, sprains and blisters are traditionally more common in colder months.
