Self-Myofascial Release and Active Release Techniques (ART)
Joe Hashey, CSCS – Synergy Athletics
Self-myofascial and active release techniques help your body get ready for its next killer training session. These topics include foam rolling which I have posted about extensively at Synergy Athletics, using a lax ball, Theracane, The Stick, or any other massage tool. When a muscle stretches, near the point of injury, the Golgi tendon organ (GTO) tells the muscle spindles to relax. This helps prevent injuries from occurring.
Foam rolling stimulates both the muscle and activates the GTO so the athlete can work in a more complete range of motion without the muscles shutting down. Also, ART techniques have are helpful in fixing soft tissue adhesion and dissipate scar tissue buildup.
Foam rollers cost around $10-20 and a lax ball is around $1. I have my athletes perform foam rolling during the warm-up and occasionally, post workout. Also, on rest days, increase your core temperature then foam roll. This will help you feel better to train the next day.
The knock on many training programs is that they don’t train hard enough AND they don’t rest “hard enough.” Recovery and restoration is an essential part of every training program. Check out my full list at – “The Top 5 Recovery and Restoration Methods.”

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

I’ve been trying to lose weight for years. Actually I have over and over again. It gets old.
I’m going to try another diet plan, but I’m not sure which one. Have any of you tried the Every Other Day Diet or the Diet Solution Program? If so, how did it work for you?
