Unfold your fascia and other exercise tips
Stretching the fascia can be a great addition to any exercise routine. We are still studying the science behind fascia and how it affects our workouts. You can incorporate any exercise into a workout routine that exercises your fascia. Below is a list of some of the best exercises to stretch out your fascia. You can add any of these into your exercise routine to work out your fascia.
Sit-ups: When you do a good sit-up, you are using the muscles of your entire body’s midsection. In addition, a good contraction can exercise the abdominal muscles for a long time.
Medicine Ball/Trampoline Swings: The medicine ball is great because you can target different parts of your body. When you swing with a medicine ball, you can target the back of your upper torso and also the front of your lower torso. When you do a trampoline swing, you target your core muscles. These are exercises that you can do at any time and that can exercise the muscles of the lower part of the trunk.
You can also find other good fascia stretching exercises and equipment. Most fascia rolling kits will have a guide, making it very easy to understand and follow.
* Pilates Workout Routine – Like a medicine ball, you can use your Pilates routine to target your fascia. Pilates can be done in your living room or in a gym. With pilates you can do an abdominal twist or a pelvic tilt. With this routine you work your abdomen with your hands or feet. You can also use your pilates exercise bands to help with this routine. You can also do this routine with your gym ball.
You can use fitness equipment such as the stability ball or medicine ball for the pelvic tilt. And you can also use a good quality fascia roller.
I am listing some exercises that I find really good for stretching the fascia and will work the muscles of the lower core. You can use these exercises when you are at home or in the gym. You can also use these exercises even when you are not in a gym yet. When working out with these exercises, you want to make sure your muscles are warm before you start doing your regular workout.
