Is functional strength training missing from your routine?
Good technique, speed, and endurance in all three sports are highly dependent on the quality of the skeletal muscle system. Most overuse injuries are the result of muscle imbalances, asymmetrical posture, and/or a decrease in range of motion. If you're like most age-group athletes, you probably spend most of your workday seated in your car, at meetings or at the computer. As research is starting to show, our relatively sedentary lifestyle with copious screen time has unfortunate consequences.
To increase performance and durability, Blueshift athletes engage in functional strength exercises as an essential part of their well-rounded training programs. Using only basic equipment, we build strength and flexibility throughout the core region and posterior chain. Rather than dedicate 2-3 longer sessions each week, our athletes have taught us that 10-15 minutes of functional strength training at the beginning of a swim, bike, or run workout yields optimal results. Not only does the liklihood of completion go up, but the athlete takes the core activation and increased flexibility directly into the sports they wish to improve.
