Stretching is CRUCIAL to keep your body moving and active. Let’s be honest you don’t to move or exercise if you are achy and stiff. Here are my top 5 stretches to do EVERY DAY. While it important to incorporate different stretches, if I had to narrow it down – these 5 would be the winners!
Why stretch?? Stretching helps with so many things and mainly flexibility. Stretching allows you maintain full range of motion. You to keep your muscles long and loose and ready to react for any load you put on your body. Stretching can also improve posture, pain, soreness and improve performance.

With summer time around the corner, many people will begin a new workout regime or take their current one up a notch.
With the increased work load on your body it is important to stretch. Your body is only going to perform if you take care of it. And let’s face it, if running, lifting, moving hurts you aren’t going to do it.
Fitness isn’t a once in a while thing it’s a continue processed full of ebbs and flows. Take your victories in stride and your struggles with grace. Just stick with it.
Here are some hip stretches that will help keep your body healthy and ready to go, no matter what you throw at it!

Working out is apart of my daily routine. I’ll go train clients at my boot camp (click here for info on that) and pre-covid I’d slide into the office at least Tuesday and Thursdays and work at my other job at Fox Sports Southwest. I’d always get up and workout in my garage those days. My life was set up where my workout is a part of the day. It’s built in. It does help I have equipment in my garage but honestly you don’t need much to get a good workout! Through two pregnancies my schedule and workouts didn’t change much. Of course the intensity changed but I was consistent.
One minute of exercise is more than zero.
I want my kids to see how much I value my health, physical fitness and mental fitness. They will grow up seeing my work ethic and my lifestyle. I want to live as long as I can to see them have kids and their kids have kids! So I take care of myself, eat well, sleep enough and have fun.
Here is a simple workout format you can use and incorporate ANY body weight exercise in.
Exercise 1 & 2 10 reps of both then-8 reps of both-6-4-2 (run, jump rope, high knees)2-4-6-8-10
Example exercises:
Squats & Pushups – run .25 miles
Lunges & Tricep Dips – 100 jump ropes
Superman pulls & Straight leg situps – 100 High knee
If you have dumbbells you can add different moves and modify as you wish! It doesn’t have to be complicated!
Woke up feeling great after doing @cryousa last night. My legs were heavy and body just sore but only 2 minutes in here and definitely was better than any ice bath and faster!
Cryotherapy constricts blood vessels and heightens your metabolic rate, the rate of energy your body expends in a given period. The benefits include reduced swelling and increased tissue breakdown.
After a cryotherapy session, underlying tissues warm up, causing a return of faster blood flow, which helps return fresh cells for efficient recycling of the body resulting in suppressed inflammation and flushed out muscles.
There are @cryousa facilities at the Michael Johnson Performance Center and in Dallas. Take advantage of an open house! For locations near you check out http://www.cryousa.com/location_all.html or follow on Twitter and IG @CryoUSA
