MMA Highlight

My second mma highlight.

Step Class (Lower Body)
A class with strenuous up and down motion, pushing on the feet and legs will for sure through time give you some problems. Just like many runners and heavy walkers have problems with Plantar Fasciitis; this is the same for people who attend Step Classes for many years. Many people have complained about Calf and Hamstring problems as well after years of attending. Ways to help this out is to rest and help the injury heal.
Shin splints are also another injury that may occur during Step Class. There are symptoms to look out for with shin splints like tenderness over the inside of the shin, lower leg pain, swelling at times, lumps and bumps over the bone, when bending the toes downward there is pain, and a redness over the inside of the shin. Rest and applying ice are a great way of helping you get back into action.

The History Of Lyoto Machida

One of my favorite fighters for the last two years, Lyoto Machida knocked out Reshad Evans this weekend in possibly the biggest championship beatdown ever in UFC history. Congratulations Machida!

Spin Class Injuries

Proper stretching and posture is not just for fitness classes in which you stand up in, but for spinning as well. While in this class, you are stressing on the legs, hips, and backs while peddling yours legs. There are parts when you bend your body to sit back, usually arching your back. Through time this could lead to back problems if not performed correctly.
If a person is new to the class, they may not have the adjustments correct on the seat for their legs. If the person has a past knee injury then this could be a real problem. Remember to do proper stretching before class, and to not have your back hunched and your shoulders pointing down when leaning in forwards off the seat.

Tree-Go

Tomorrow the class and I are going to Tree-Go, should be a wicked time.

Pilates Injuries

Pilates (Neck,Back,Shoulders and Hips)
Pilates is one of the fastest growing group fitness classes in North America right now, and is not free of injury either. Pilates uses a lot of upper body strength and different muscles. Deconditioned people who attend these classes have to be looked after much more, because of their muscles not being as strong. With being deconditioned, they may not know the proper moves, which could lead to injury.
With the amount of muscles use, there are different injuries that could occur, like Muscle Strain (by a bad sudden movement), Frozen Shoulder (especially if you are over the age of 40), Rotator Cuff Injury (Falling on the arm wrong), and Groin Strain (pulling the legs further then your capacity.
Clients that have history of injuries should really be looked after and their own instruction through the class for they will not over exert themselves. With the rise of popularity of Pilates, many elderly have joined and are at a higher risk of injury.

Greatest Submisson

One of the greatest submissions ever happened this weekend at Bellator 3, in which Toby Imada was getting peppered and beat the whole time by Jorge Masvidal, until the third round when he locks on a inverse thiangle that puts his opponent unconcoius. Amazing.
