“IF THERE WAS ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, I’D SAY EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A FOAM ROLL.”
The core, (center of gravity) is where all body movement originates. This cylindrical group of muscles** should be on at low levels all the time in preparation for action and motion from simply picking up a pencil to swinging a golf club.
Using a foam roll to stabilize your core will improve your posture and protect you from low back pain and sports injuries. Come back next week for a foam roll video that life long will maximize your quality of life, especially if you spend time in front of a computer screen.
As for 120 and Beyond,
it's my way of shattering the old paradigm pairing infirmity and aging.
Instead, let's take care of our bodies for a high quality of life for the remainder of our days. Carpe diem, Seize the day, every day.
If you've been sitting at your computer for a while,
notice the tilt of your head, the position of your back.
Remember our mother's admonition?
"Sit up straight."
If you sit up straight, notice the delta, between where you were and sitting up straight. Over a lifetime, that small difference in posture leads to that all too common back pain as we get older.
Laying with your spine on a foam roll 5 minutes a day, allows gravity to return our upper back to a more optimal posture, countering the way we round our backs as we work or sit.
We should hold our bodies as do
the Maasai, standing, sitting tall.
Little things, optimal life.
