Balance - General Prehab
A mixture of workouts, ranging from yoga to strength, to bulletproof your balance.
What is Prehab?
The overall goal of Prehab workouts is to improve movement quality, which will enhance performance and health and increase longevity in physical activities. Prehab exercises and workouts are preventive-based.
Most of the workouts in this playlist are great to perform before your regular workout (the longer workouts can be used as stand-alone workouts). The workouts will help strengthen weak muscles to avoid injury by compensating for the repetitive movements and stresses of regular training.
Mobility and flexibility-based workouts are excellent after a workout. They help lengthen tight, restrictive areas while allowing the joints to move more freely and with stability and strength.
When to add these workouts?
If you know you have a weaker and/or tighter area, we recommend adding prehab workouts to your weekly workouts 3-4 times a week and continuing until you see and feel an improvement.
Otherwise, 1-2 times a week will suffice, with the exception of the mobility and flexibility-based drill; those can be done daily.
