    Do you know the difference between rest and active recovery?

    While rest is often what is thought to be needed to help your body recover and feel better, that may not always be the case.

    In fact, there are many situations where active recovery is more effective than rest at getting your body back to feeling 100%.

    But what exactly is active recovery, how is it different from rest, and when should you aim to use one versus the other?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, this is exactly what we are diving into.

    Not only do we lay out what you need to know about both rest and active recovery, but we give you guidelines to follow to know which you should be doing.

    If you have ever wondered if you should focus more on taking days completely off versus getting some light activity in to help you recover from your workouts, listen up!

    This discussion has all the information you need.

    Professional athletes may be known for their speed, strength, and athleticism, but there is one thing that they do differently than most non-athletes that allows them to compete and perform at their highest level year after year.

    While you can look at their physical size, their young age, and their genetic gifts and think, “There’s nothing that they do that is applicable to me,” the truth is that there is a key component of their athletic success that they abide by religiously that you can 100% apply to your own life.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are unveiling what this key component is and how it applies to you.

    We lay out a framework for you to follow to make sure you are able to implement this key into your own life so you can continue to perform at your highest level every single day.

    If you want to feel like your body is on your side and is fully able to help you live your life, listen up!

    This discussion has the information you need to implement.

    Have you ever woken up with your neck feeling super stiff?Sch

    This is an issue that many people experience, and while the temptation often is to massage it or stretch it out, there are some steps that you can take that we’ve found to be far more effective and impactful.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out three things you can do today if you woke up with your neck feeling stiff and achy.

    Fortunately, more times than not, waking up with a stiff neck does not necessarily mean you injured yourself, but it is indicative of another issue that is likely going on.

    This conversation will identify what that issue is and exactly what you can do about it.

    Have you been told you have a tight psoas?

    Maybe you’ve been to some type of therapist who told you you have a tight psoas. Or maybe you have done some internet searches and landed on a tight psoas as the self-diagnosed cause of your issues.

    While your psoas may feel tight, the truth is that it actually isn’t the thing that is causing your symptoms, whether they be in your back, hips, knees, or elsewhere.

    So what is the real issue if a tight psoas isn’t to blame?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, that is exactly what we are exploring.

    We lay out all the different reasons why your psoas may be tight and why only focusing on the psoas won’t get you the long-term changes you desire, even if your symptoms change temporarily.

    If you have ever been led to believe that a tight psoas was the underlying cause of your symptoms, listen up!

    This discussion sheds light on information you need to implement to make changes that last.

    Are your hamstrings chronically tight?

    Much of the fitness and therapy worlds would lead you to believe that you need to focus more on stretching muscles, relaxing muscles, mobilizing joints, and releasing tissues; but if you have listened to our podcast for any period of time, you know that is not our take on the situation.

    Too often, we have seen the former approaches creating only short-term sensation changes with minimal positive long-term effects.

    So how can you get out of the never-ending cycle of stretching your hamstrings only to have them tighten up again?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the steps that we have seen be most effective over the last 14 years at helping people relieve their hamstring tightness once and for all.

    If you constantly find yourself trying to loosen up your hamstrings, listen up!

    What we discuss can help you change that once and for all.

    Does your Achilles tendon ever bother you?

    From high-level athletes in their 20s to sedentary people in their 80s and everywhere in between, Achilles issues are extremely common.

    While the primary issue would appear to be the Achilles itself, there are a lot of other factors that are often overlooked with traditional therapies and strength training programs.

    Unfortunately, by neglecting these other factors, people are setting themselves up to cycle through an on again, off again relationship with their Achilles issues.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the three biggest factors to consider when trying to troubleshoot Achilles issues that go beyond the feet and ankles.

    If you have ever struggled with an Achilles that just would not feel well and stay well no matter what you tried, listen up.

    The missing pieces we share in this discussion can take you over that hurdle and onto doing all the things you love while feeling great.

    Do you have difficulty feeling your muscles squeeze when you workout?

    If you have listened to our podcast at all, you likely have heard us talk about our four Exercise For Life Principles, the last of which is to focus on squeezing your muscles when you exercise.

    But what if you aren’t able to do this?

    What if, when you try to focus on the squeeze, you aren’t feeling any specific sensation in the muscles you are working? How can you troubleshoot this?

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying why this may be happening and lay out a plan you can follow to start to sense the squeeze.

    If you have ever worked out and felt just a general sensation of fatigue instead of very specific sensations of your muscles squeezing despite your best efforts, listen up!

    What we share in this discussion can change that for you once and for all.

    Do you ever wake up in the morning feeling like your body has gotten noticeably older?

    Maybe you have some aches and pains that weren’t always there. Or maybe your strength and fitness feel like they are on the decline. Or perhaps tasks that once felt simple now feel taxing.

    While most people want to chalk this up to old age and put in the bucket of “there’s nothing I can do about it”, there’s actually an underlying reason why your body is feeling this way that isn’t related to your biological age.

    On this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are identifying what this underlying reason is and laying out what you can do about it.

    If you feel like your body is feeling older with each passing day no matter what you do, listen up! What we share in this discussion can completely change that for you.

    Check out all the details in this week’s episode!

    Do you have a history of hamstring injuries?

    Oftentimes, the recommended step to prevent future injuries is to strengthen the hamstring.

    While having hamstrings that are strong enough is part of the equation, this recommendation overlooks many of the other variables that need to be considered with hamstring injuries.

    Worse yet, following this recommendation can actually set you up for an increased chance of reinjuring your hamstring.

    So what else needs to be considered and what should you do about it?

    That’s exactly what we are discussing on this week’s episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast.

    We lay out what you need to know and the steps to implement to make it happen.

    Check out all the details in this week’s episode!
