Want to prevent joint pain

Image
Looking to reduce joint pain or prevent it before it happens, Turmeric is a great supplement to take to help with Joint Pain I was going to crossfit three times a week and gave my body plenty of rest and felt fine. Then I started training for a marathon and was running almost every day on top of the already three days a week of crossfit. That is a lot of wear n tear on your joints, just from the running alone. I starting feeling a little achy and knew it was going to get worse if I didn't do something to help my body recover. I started researching for supplements that helped with joint pain and their are three that really stood out to me; Turmeric, Glucasamine, and MSM.

What is the best overall fitness tracker

Do you really need to stretch after working out

Today at Crossfit my coach told me I was not allowed to leave the gym until I stretched. I didn't think anything about it, its something I have heard all my life from gym teachers to volleyball coaches. But it got me to thinking, what is the reason we stretch after exercising.  We have been told that stretching after working out prevents soreness and injury. After reading some recent articles, the clinical research shows that there is no evidence that stretching prevents muscle soreness or injury or enhance sports performance. "According to American College of Sports Medicine, Stretching before or after exercise does not reduce delayed onset muscle soreness or reduce injury in healthy adults." We know now that stretching is not going to help reduce soreness or prevent injury but its not completely useless. While you are weightlifting or running you contract your muscles so much that overtime they become a little shorter and can cause some stiffness. For exampl
