The Importance of Foam Rolling – Hips and Legs

by Michael Aldrighetti

You may find yourself wondering what role foam rolling plays in preparing you for your workout.  We have received multiple questions on the significance of foam rolling prior to working out.  The simple answer is it loosens up the body’s muscles.

Boot Camp Overland Park – Do You Have a Purpose or are you doing Burpees?

Often times I hear about boot camps that sound a lot like a Physical Education class. If you are trying to fill credit hours, this serves the purpose, BUT if you are trying to lose weight and get into your skinny clothes, this is not the best possible route. These PE classes are busy work. You spend most of your time running around doing UNSTRUCTURED WORK without a PURPOSE. This was great when we were in school, the purpose was to give the students physical activity and to run off some energy, worked great! Served the purpose!
