What Can FIT™ Do For You?
Regular exercise can decrease the number of injuries a person sustains and lessens the severity of the injuries. Additionally, by integrating core strength with sports or activity specific exercise, you can gain a competitive edge while minimizing the risk of injury during activities of daily life.
Core strength, often confused with abdominal strength, is the primary stabilizing force in your body. The core muscles consist of the pelvic floor and the deep abdominal and back extensor muscles. These muscles hold your body upright, improve your balance and allow for greater strength in your arm and leg movements.
Muscular tightness or limited flexibility causes movement imbalances that leave the body at higher risk for injury. Muscles become overused and rigid, while others get under utilized and weak, thus creating a scenario for sprains and strains. Muscular weakness compromises our physical stability and core integrity, leaving our tissues vulnerable to overuse type syndromes like tendonitis. Poor endurance or decreased aerobic capacity leads to fatigue as a result of limited oxygen movement in the working muscles.
Fitness training can even help your mental health. Through fitness training you can reduce stress and depression all while increasing your energy level.
