Hey everyone, hope all is going well with your life and your training. This week I had a sinus infection but gave me time to write some stuff since I did not make the gym on Monday and Tuesday. One thing I wanted to share with all of you was a review on Tim Hull’s, Functional Correction, manual. For those of you that do not know Tim Hull he is a physical therapist and has loads of experience in the fitness industry. Tim is always willing to share his wealth of knowledge with people. Check him out at his site http://thestrengthdoctor.com That being said I wanted to share my thoughts about Tim’s manual Functional Correction.
Functional Correction will not only help recover from injury quicker but will also keep your chances from injuring yourself lower. Tim goes through how muscles imbalances in your body can lead to injuries or aches and pains in other parts of your body. His in depth insight how the body works together and certain muscles should not be neglected is useful information for all everyone.
After giving a lot of good information on the body he not only gives us the exercises that we should be doing but he accompanies it with great photos to help you with the visual. Tim gives us the 7 Daily Essentials. These exercises should be done on a daily basis and are great on days you are not training for they will help give you greater flexibility and keep you healthy. If you have ever done a dynamic warm-up some of these exercise may be familiar to you but Tim does a great job of picking out the seven best one’s that you should use on a daily basis. Tim then gives us a whole slew of exercises that help with our mobility as well as for the use of activating our muscles. With each picture he gives us a picture with what the exercise helps us with and a brief description of how to do the exercise.
If you are an athlete and especially if you train in MMA or any combat sport I highly recommend picking up a copy of Functional Correction. Putting many of these exercise in your training regime will greatly reduce the likelihood of injury and help you stay on the mat and keep on training.
