(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 09, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- CrossFit Chiang Mai trainer, Barry Lavis, has announced the release of his new video demonstrating the proper employment of WOD Nation fitness bands lat stretches to achieve better results and reduce the potential for serious injury.
Barry Lavis is one of the most respected CrossFit and Olympic trainers in the world. In his new video, Lavis demonstrates the proper stretching techniques for lats, explains why they're an essential part of any athlete's pre-training routine, and proper positioning of WOD Nation fitness bands to accomplish the exercise.
Lavis noted that it's critical for athletes to let the WOD Nation bands do the work of stretching. Not doing so is a mistake that many athletes make and one that can lead to serious damage and injury. Warm-ups and stretches shouldn't be addressed as an exercise, per se, but a method of preparation. Neglecting the importance of stretching isn't just a mistake that novices make.
Stretching with the WOD Nation resistance bands helps build muscle strength and enhances the movements that athletes perform. Intense workouts shorten the muscles and create small tears. Beginning a workout for the lats with stretching helps athletes achieve greater flexibility, strength and endurance, while improving muscle and joint mobility and facilitating a greater range of motion.
The WOD Nation resistance bands. in the process by providing individuals with five levels of resistance from which to choose. Resistance levels are available ranging from 10-35 lbs. to a maximum of 65-175 lbs. They're color coded and can be used singly or in combination to tailor stretching to the individual. Stretching the lats requires little time and can be accomplished in a mere 30 to 60 seconds.
The lats extend across each side of the back. They allow the arms to move to and from the body and provide stabilization while performing a variety of actions. Stretching the lats has short-term and long-term benefits including improved appearance and posture, and decreased soreness. They're especially beneficial for swimmers and athletes participating in sports that require throwing-type movements.
Tight lats are a primary cause of injuries within the general population. Weekend sports enthusiasts and do-it-yourself homeowners are the most frequent sufferers and those injuries can lead to chronic shoulder and back pain. Even though athletes work out regularly and are in better physical condition, they're still subject to injury if they don't adequately stretch.
Lavis' new video demonstrates how anyone can help avoid damage to the lats by stretching with the WOD Nation resistance bands. The techniques employed by Lavis can be used by anyone who will be putting their lats under stress to significantly reduce the potential for injury.
