(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 02, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- CrossFit athletes are eager to jump into their training programs, but lack of appropriate preparation can result in a wide variety of injuries and dysfunction. The new video by Lavis helps alleviate those problems by showing individuals proper warm-up techniques for opening the hips prior to attempting squats.
Stretching and warm-ups with WOD Nation resistance bands offers a no-stress means of opening the hips for better squats. The WOD Nation bands are available in multiple resistance levels and colored coded for easy resistance selection. Lavis provides recommendations for the right bands for men and women and viewers will learn proper positioning and form.
The stretches fulfill multiple goals. They loosen and limber the hip area, ready the body for more effective squats, increase efficiency and help prevent injuries that could seriously disrupt training. The bands do the actual work and Lavis recommends that individuals with tight hips perform the warm-ups before and after any CrossFit or exercise routine.
Squats are often one of the most difficult movements for individuals to accomplish while maintaining the proper form. WOD Nation resistance bands do the actual work during squat stretches, providing positioning for the body and gentle limbering.
The hips are some of the most powerful joints in the body, providing stability and a pivot point for an extensive range of movements. Insufficient preparation and improper movement patterns can result in painful injuries and dysfunction that has the potential to derail or end an athletic career.
When an athlete makes demands upon the body, it does its best to fulfill that request, even to the detriment of other muscles, tendons and ligaments. Depending upon the desired movement and the individual's overall physical condition, improper form can result in overcompensation by muscles and lead to hip, back and leg problems. Resistance bands provide a sound strategy for preparing the body to perform.
The release of the new video by Lavis clearly demonstrates the advantages of stretching with WOD Nation resistance bands and the varying levels of resistance they provide for men and women. The video provides amateur and professional athletes with the information they need to accomplish no-stress stretches for safer and more efficient squats.
